OMG, the fact that you do not auto progress to the next level and after level completion the top option is "restart" was really confusing to me. I was already scanning the page and comments for infos what to do, because I didn't seem to "get" the game and be stuck in the first level.

Top rating from me, but I had to make cuts in accessibility... maybe I am stupid, cause obviously no one else had that issue...?

Also special award for best, non-intrusive use of the duck wildcard!

Great puzzle game. Very addictive, and I want more levels!

Pros:

  • Nice choice of background music, very soothing
  • Amazing choice of art.  Not sure if you made it yourself, but it was super cute, and very clean. 
  • Overall color themes on the game were highly enjoyable
  • Difficulty of the game as you progressed was a good rate of difficulty increase
  • In game Tutorial was definitely a boon

Critiques:

  • Would have liked to see on Object Volume slider, some kind of audio preview
  • Some binding of keys by player to be able to use controller - Very much a type of game I could see myself playing while relaxing on the couch.
  • There were a few levels where the blocks would go behind the level button, but the player went above the level button, at the top of the screen.

Thank you for your nice feedback. The graphics are all self made by us. The critiques will be updated after the jam, there will be also a mobile version with more levels.

Very cute! I was only disapointed when the the next level button stopped working. Guess I’ll just have to work on getting my clear times down untill there is more content… please?!? The progression in difficulty was really good! The backgroud music was a bit on the repetative but it did not take away from the fun .

Thanks, there will be more content after the jam. We also plan to create a mobile version of this one.

Incredible ! Funny with a real progression of the difficulty but not undoable. I loved the sprites and the soft music. Maybe some juicy SFX could be make this game very addictive. GG !

I think this might be my favorite of the jam games I've played so in terms fun, it's genuinely just a fun game. The art is simple but cute, and it's immediately readable (important for this kind of game). The music is simple but pleasant, and never gets grating. And the levels are a good challenge, but not in a frustrating way; I cleared all but the last two, but I kept wanting to go back and try one more time.

Fantastic job!
