Funny concept, love the graph !

fun game, though the puzzles are really simple and non-engaging. Really the boxes feel more like a dash/ a double jump than an actual puzzle element that gets interacted with. I feel that some more work on the level design and this could be an extremely fun and brain wracking puzzle game!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Yeah, I had ideas such as spikes/conveyor belts to place the boxes on ect but I never really got to even fully flesh out what the simple mechanics can achieve within the 9 levels I made.

I like the levels. Simple idea but I played it for a while. Thanks for the game!

Developer

Thank you!

Great game! Cool idea, and the levels are very well thought out, especially the way you integrated the tutorial at the beginning of the game :)

Developer

Thank you!

Good idea. The movement felt nice and the puzzles were neat, especially with the little hints in the beginning. The camera felt a little claustrophobic for me and it made some puzzles harder to figure out how to approach. But overall it has a good idea and pretty presentation.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Yeah the camera was something I struggled with as if you can't see ahead you can't plan your box placements without trial an error (which i did not want to be a factor). I think in an update having the camera stagnant at the size of the level or able to pan about will be better :)

Good level design! I loved the little question marks in the ground

Developer

Thank you!

Really well thought out, and easy to drop into. A great use of a solid core mechanic

very cool! I got softlocked when I accidentally placed one of the blocks and it fell diagonally, but I lovethe idea and vibes

Developer

Thank you! You can press 'R' to restart. I guess having it follow you in the UI will be better than just mentioning it one in the tutorial. I will do that next time!

fun and simple little platformer

What a nice little platformer! I liked the physics, and the music was very peaceful. There are quite a few little secret areas which I enjoyed finding :)

Thank you! Hope the coins fuelled your satisfaction.

Hey! I really had fun playing your game. Overall, the levels are detailed and look polished, the game mechanic is creative and the difficulty progression feels nice.

The charging system works quite well. It lets the player experiment in the first few levels with the recharging potions, and makes you think about what block sizes you choose later on.

IMO the one thing that the game lacks a little is sound effects. Adding sound effects for placing blocks and selecting block sizes would have a big effect on the game. Also, I experienced a few collision bugs when moving around, but they didn't affect the puzzles.

Beside my few nitpicks the game is fun, clever and aesthetically pleasing. Well done!

Developer

Thank you! Yeah it could do with some more juice and less collision issues.

Really like the clues build into the environment.

Thank you!
