- I understand where you were going with it and I was looking forward to it. The game has a neat style to it and the music is very fitting. From first look, I was excited to try it out! That being said, when I loaded into the game, I was able to pick the boxes up, but not drop them again, they were stuck to me, which is clearly a bug. And that leads me to another bug I found. The boxes can launch you upwards if you wave them around just right, which is how I was able to take a look at a few levels. My recommendation would be to bind the box to holding e, rather than having it be a toggle. The level design is very clever and the puzzles seem challenging, but not enough to be frustrating. Good work, keep it up! I'll be paying attention to this even after the jam!
- A decent tech demo. Congrats on getting the game to play in the web browser. I know that web exports can kill games. The playability of the game depends on you helping the player navigate the world you've created. In this game, you're dropped in and given no instruction on how to play the game or what to do. Regardless, a fun time and lovely soundtrack to tie the world together. Thank you for your submission!

Nice idea of the game. I unfortunatly was not able to drop the boxes, so I could not get past the first level. I read the game design document and your idea looks really promising. The implementation also seems to be mostly there. And the music is really great! Great job!
Hey! Thanks for letting us know! We forgot to change it back to E when we submitted it. The actual drop key is G in the submitted build. We just updated the page. Thanks again for checking the game out!
