Really nice game! Loved the puzzles, loved the story, the music you picked fit the game nicely and the sound effects were a nice touch, too! I'm not sure if this was intentional, but it seems that the game checks to see if Oro or Boro can move from the previous game state (a copy maybe) and while that is perfectly valid, it does lead to the weird case when they are next to each other and moving in the same direction. I'd expect them to move together, but instead they spread apart one block. This doesn't seem to add any difficulty to the game and so it seems to be a quirk or bug. It should be pretty easy to put a check for the four possible (up, down, left, right) cases when this might occur and tell the game the move is still permitted by whichever character is following. The story mode is great and I love how it fits in with the game play! I'd love to see a puzzle mode added with many more puzzles. Especially if you can code procedural level generation, maybe not in the game itself, but to aid you in adding many good curated puzzles to play. You could even release them as packs, such as the 1st hundred are free, but expansion pack one and two cost a small fee, for example! One other thing that could enhance the game is a move counter. Thanks for a great game!

This game is really awesome, the game play is awesome, the art is awesome, the story is really awesome, everything is awesome about this game :D I love it :D
I enjoyed that enough to complete the game.
There was a good story that carried on through the levels.
The graphics were cute.
Hey I completed the game, although the idea was not super original, I quite liked it, mostly because of the design of the levels. I rarely feel stuck and can most of the time correct my mistakes thanks to your placement of blocks. The game has lovely music and sound effects as well. Great work!
Lovely game, i found the art and mechanic very enjoyable and the story is a nice touch :)
I like this puzzle mechanic although i wasnt sure what the rule determining when they actually spread out was, didnt seem concrete or well shown. The level design was really impressive though, it looks like you tried to fit the story into the levels (the goals spreading out or having walls in between) although that could just be me looking into it too much. One thing though, I almost missed the story text because i was focused in on the play area and didnt really notice it till a couple levels in
Adorable game, I love it. Well done. Music was amazing.
