I’m almost mad about how clever this is. I spent the whole of the intro section feeling like my jump was so pathetic, and confused about how this was going to work as a platformer. Then as soon as I found the first white square, my entire brain just lit up. I wanted so much more of this game than there was to play 😭

Not to mention the pixel art is really pleasant. And the joke in the intro made me smile a lot. I’m seriously so impressed with this, I want more.

Woah, this is incredible! I was a bit unsure where it was going at first, but once I made that first connection to another square (great foreshadowing in the intro sequence, by the way, love that!), it all suddenly made sense! Not only did the platforming feel responsive and tight, but the puzzles also complimented the movement really well, too! I liked how you stuck to a minimalist style (quite similar to the original Pico-8 Celeste), and only used small sprites throughout the game. This really helps to create a cute and somewhat eerie atmosphere for you to discover. Again, the puzzle mechanic worked super well and I think it was a fantastic implementation of the theme and geometricness!

I did find the jump sound effect to be slightly repetitive and harsh, so I'd suggest adding a bit of randomness to the pitch every time it's played. Even a small +- 10% whenever playing the sfx breaks up the monotony and keeps the player a bit more engaged. And obviously with some more time outside of the jam, you could include some tunes and more details to the world, such as different colour flowers, mushrooms, small critters, and snowmen :P Overall, I really, really enjoyed this and like you said on the game page, I would love for this to be worked on more! Amazing effort for your first jam game! :D

dude what the hell is that ?? it's such a genius way of using the theme like i had fun trying some shapes that weren't suppose to work until it did (i felt so much satisfaction ngl), the artstyle is 10/10 ! Sadly there is no music but i think you spent all of your time elsewhere and we can defenitely tell... Very great entry, and here is yours : <3 ! 

Great! 

I didn't pass the moment after the big "3" on screen. I managed to jump in between the piles once, but was unable to make it again. Still, I LOVED the game mechanic.

I've got some mixed feelings on this. First of all the game absolutely gorgeous; you really nailed the pixel art! But then there's just no music at all. The core mechanic is simply genius but I don't think its utilised as well as it could be; personally what made it special was the puzzles were the player has design their shape correctly and not the challenge of platforming with weird shapes. Basically I didn't like how in the later parts of the game, the player was rail-roaded into using certain shapes.

That being said. I still think you've got something genuinely special here and I really hope that you continue to develop it; with a bit of work this could become a successful game :)

It is a cool mechanic to assemble the shapes. Gameplay-wise it was very satisfying. Also nice level variations.

Nice puzzle game. Would be nice if there was a background and more variation with the sound effects. Still, cool game!

:D

This is a solid puzzle game, evidently better audio would help but it's not the biggest deal especially for a puzzle game. The jump does feel a bit off to me but it could just be me.

Very very fun, definitely a head-scratcher for many puzzles. The levels were really well designed, and always had that beautiful a-ha moment.

The water is animated :D
