Awesome idea. I like physics puzzle games, and your incorporation of the theme by making a heartbeat works just perfectly!

Pretty cool game! It is, in my experience, pretty difficult to get physics engines to behave properly. I think your game does a pretty good job at not relying on super-precise interactions, although I'm sure there's places it could be improved.

I did notice a glitch where sometimes I would accidentally click on the side of a block--I think while still in the block menu--and my mouse cursor would get stuck in the resizing state, and I would have to restart.

The game makes very good use of the theme. A rhythm based physics puzzler is a pretty neat idea.

Sadly I was not able to beat level 16. It seems very complicated! 🤯

I like it... did you made also the music? there is a little piece very cool

Developer

Cool little game! Very on theme. All the elements worked really well together and I thought your tutorial was very clever. Congrats on the submission!

This takes me back to the physics-based Flash games era. Pretty cool, I had some fun, although didn't reach the end.

Developer

Oh, that was not intentional, but now as you say it, you are completly right! Main inspiration was "The incredible Machine" (later: "Crazy Machines") and Lemmings xD


Thank you for playing and your comment :)

This is a pretty good puzzle game. Just make sure you double check them because physics based puzzles are tricky to get working properly.

Developer

Thank you!

You would not believe how much the physics gave me headached during the development. Im still searching for a way to improve the physics, so it has a more predictable outcome....

Real cool puzzle game, not often a lot of incredible machines inspired games :)

I like how you incorporated the physics based mechanics into the theme, instead of basket balls going through hoops its regulating a heartbeat.

Visually i like that you added eyes to some blocks and cells it kinda gives it a snipperclips vibe and it's also funny that they look wherever your mouse is.

This one's more on me than the game (not good at puzzle games ) so i didn't take it into account for rating but, i didn't get far XD i got stuck right after the tutorial when you have only the slope and single block and couldn't figure out how to have the correct flow, but despite that i still had fun and really dig its uncommon inspiration.

Good job  :)

Thank you for liking my game! It really means a lot to me.

Yeah, i tend to make my games always too difficult. I hope i can fix this next month :P

Btw, the solution to level 2 is to place the ramp at the lower left and the block 1 block away from the middle block to the left and strech it.

Well like i said i'm bad at puzzles so still liked it anyways, and i did not figure that one out for sure, gotta try it again to see what's after and see if i can figure out the next levels XD

[ Edit : Ok so i'm dumb, didn't notice that you could select any level in the menu in case to test them out so i'll try a few in case i'm stuck again to see more of the game ]

Developer

i wish you a lot of fun :D
