The game feels great. It is a good thing that you've added more mechanics to the 'use your corpse as a platform' formula. As other people already noted, timer is too frustrating and you should add a reset button (but as I see you've already added these things in new version). Overall, I enjoyed playing your game, well done!
I couldn't spare it! I couldn't spare a square. Nice job!
Very fun game, I loved how previous bodies gradually disappeared
Good job!
Glad I happened to own 7zip. As people have said, though, a dangerous choice compared to using a general-public-friendly zip file!
Simple but pleasing graphics, and nice controls. :)
This was a really fun game. Very well executed.
And despise its extremely minimalistic graphics, they were very visually appealing.
I would add a restart button for the levels, because sometimes you already know you messed up, and there is no way to win the level, but there is a lot of time left for the counter to go down. So it's just a dull waiting.
Either way, the game is really entertaining and I liked that.
Good job!
PS: not everyone has 7-zip, so try uploading a simple zip file next time, which is a lot more common for everyone to have.
I've seen several games try the concept of using previous dead bodies as platforms, but I enjoyed that you added the different types of spikes to make it interesting. Like everyone else has said, a reset button would have helped a lot and your timers were all over the place. There was one level with like 80 seconds on the timer that I completed in like 10 seconds and another that I sped through with no mistakes and barely made it in time. I don't mind the timer, but having it more consistently match the difficulty of the level would be appreciated. Overall, nice game. Quite enjoyed it. Thanks for making it!
Fun Puzzle game, wish there was a way to reset to the level. overall very nice
Very good game, and definitely fun; I especially love the concept for the last stage.
BUT... for me at least there is one major issue that ruins the fun:
Is the timer really necessary considering there can only be three square corpses in a stage? In my opinion it isn't and should be removed; especially considering there is no reset button. There are definitely some unpleasant experiences in my playthrough where I know with the time left I couldn't finish it on time but because there is no reset button I could only wait.
the jumps of the square feel satisfiying. There could have been a music though. The title of the game is funny :)
i liked the concept and level design but the game is slow i suggest making the respawn points closer to the spicks so you don't have to waste 4 second just going back to were you was, overall really nice good job :)
ooh, i don't think I have anything to open 7z files... :(
i'm gonna give you a good rate anyway since you don't have a lot of ratings and I already played games with a similar concept
same...
this is quite creative I like the animation and sound effects... the only thing that bothers me is there is no exit button. I've to open my task manager to close the game
It's in full screen (in Windows; idk in MAC) so there is no "red exit button" to be pressed... I also had to press Alt + F4 (^_^;
pretty fun game
would you mind checking out mine too?
Simple but fun game.
I like the graphics and animations. You could also some music.
Good job!
Solid controllers and sollid execution. I love the animations how are done! Completing the puzzles made me feel smart.
tip: when scaling in y-axis to squash the cube set the anchor point ot the bottom so it doesnt like like it floats for a moment when landing.
Thanks for sharing this game!
Fun and simple game!
Nice :)
Great game, but i think it is too hard. At least for me.
Great game!!!!!!!!
I love the tight platforming controls, and the squishyness of the player. The puzzles were good and I liked the overall style of the game. I also liked the number of levels. I personally don't think that the timer was necessary as the difficulty of the levels was enough as is. Overall it was a good game, with a good amount time put into all of it's features
