I am so here for the art styles but levels were very intriguing.

Cute puzzle game. I did find a bug though, if you restart a level when you're inside a box, it lives you in the box scene and not in the level scene. Other than that very nice!

Developer

Thanks heromeister! Yes, it is a buggy mess. I appreciate you for noticing!

Super interesting idea. I say refine the controls of the player (he's too slow when pushing boxes and the jump height is weird), refine the programming (at some point a box went into the tiles of the level) and it would be more enjoyable to play.

Thanks for the great feedback sleepl!

I loved the jumping and the juice on the jumping/picking/placing! really satisfying to play! I got stuck on the "green" level; I brought a box in with me, it let me jump with the box one time and then the best I could do was drop it in place with no way to pick it up again on the other side. really enjoyed my time despite that!

Developer

Thanks for playing Kitsune! Yes, there are certainly bugs which could impede your progress. Sorry! You can restart the level, but it only kinda works.

Love the music, the movement feels very smooth, however couldnt for the life of me figure out level 3, until i realised you could pick up with Shift :D

Hi wky! I forgot which key is the 'action' button too. I usually use a controller. Thanks for playing.
