Nice job with the overall style of this game. Also, creative touch with the  pushing/pulling mechanics. With some additional level design, I see great potential, great work!

Good concept, unfortunately i couldnt get past the jumping level. Well done nontheless!

Developer

Cute game and visually interesting. Love the bill cipher reference at the end haha

I didn't find the main mechanic very 'good' to use though. It is a bit buggy and finicky, and the game seems to require specific weird interactions to advance. Like in the one you just gotta keep bumping him up with different speeds until you accidentally solve. I didn't find these parts very fun because it is unpredictable and you just gotta keep testing and spamming actions until you get it right for some reason. It could be fun in a more sandboxy and experimental environment, but in a puzzle game it ends up being a bit frustrating for me.

Also, I unfocused the game and the soundtrack seems to have disappeared, don't know what happened, but seems like a bug.

But very solid entry anyway. Again, visually very charming and stylish. Congrats

Developer

Thank you for the replay. I agree with you. This is my first time making my main mechanic in a game based on physics, and the system didn't build so well, so I hope to have time and study it more so I can fix this. In my mind the player wasn't supposed to collide with the elements in the room, but I forogt change the player tag so they collide and make the game mutch harder and more luck than skills. About the music, I just forgot to chack the 'loop' chack box in for the music so it plays once (I will fix it after the jam).
I'm really glad you got to the end and found the bill cipher reference. I'll try to add him to some of my projects just for Easter eggs.

Developer

I like the puzzles of the game would have been nice if there were more of them !
The jumping level also nearly made me to give up but I shaked as hard as i can and it worked xD

Developer

Thank u so mutch for playing, i'm glad u didn't give up ๐Ÿคฉ i will upload when the jam will end. I agree with u i planed to have  more hope i will have time to add more after the jam.

Submitted(+1)

Cool puzzle game with really creative concept!
I almost gave up at the jumping level but with some wild shaking of the ground I managed to beat it. The levels after it were more fun and I am glad I stuck around.

Developer

I glad you enjoy the game overall and didnt give up ๐Ÿ˜‹

Submitted(+1)

Like the idea, but as others say i didnt manage to get past the jump level. art nice as well

Developer

Thank u for playing the game. I agree with u, witch version of the game have you tried? thr fixed one or not? just so i know if i sould fix it again ๐Ÿ˜…

Submitted(+1)

Really liked the music and the art style. I got stucked on the third level sadly.

Developer (1 edit)

I'm glad to hear that. I agree with u i will fix it after the jam...

Submitted(+1)

Sadly, the third level is almost unplayable, which is a shame, because the rest of the game is really good.

Reminds me of some of my favorite cool math games. Quite a refined sense of style. Very entertaining.

Developer (2 edits)

First of all, thank you for planning the game, and I'm glad you enjoy most of it. I agree the 3rd level has the same problems. I tried fixing that,  but the export ended after the submission date, so...  The player sould not be colIid with the background element i forgort give the player the 'player' tag in unity...

I upload a new version, I wasn't able to publish it couse the export took too long.
if you will have time I would love to know what do you think about it... newest version

Submitted(+1)

It looks like this newer version page might still be in draft mode? Because I can't see it. This is fine however: In fact I would recommend that you take this link down because it is against the Jam rules. 

". . . Also, please do not put links to other builds (such as 'Game jam upload has a bug! Please play this one!') in your description or comments. This may see you being disqualified. . ."

Don't worry about the bug, because this game is still very fun, and stylish, and a good play. Just take down the link, and provide a helpful hint for level 3 specifically.
