Hi there. Pretty good gameplay loop. I would recommend putting some of the controls on your mouse instead of having everything controlled with one hand. Also this might be a feature, but if a box falls out of the map your character also dies. I think respawning the box would have a better feel, especially without checkpoints in the levels.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

It is intentional for the player to die if a box falls out but the idea of checkpoints is a good one

Good concept for a platformer :D I would like some checkpoints if possible, but that’s just a small complaint for what is otherwise a pretty fun game. Hope to see more!

Developer

Thanks for your Fedback! Yes a Checkpoint-System would be very useful and Player friendlier!

I liked the platforming mechanics, It seemed like when I was attracting the block so that I could stand on top of it and jump there was some weird physics where it bounced into me and then stopped attracting. I had to jump around for a while to get it moving again. Also it was very punishing to go back to level one when I failed on level three. I think if you added a checkpoint system and fixed some of the glitchiness with the physics this would be great 🤠

Developer

Thanks for your Feedback! A checkpoint system is a great idea, thanks for your ideas.

Fun mechanics! I think it'd feel a lot more fair if the cubes had friction (so they don't go sliding away so easily).

I liked the song in the beginning as well!

Developer

At the beginning it had friction and something went wrong for debugging I had changed it to zero, but didn't changed it again. But it's true the cube is too slippery. 


The Music was brought from my mate :)
