This is fun! The difficulty of each level was definitely unbalanced, but if the levels are random that is to be expected. To make it easier, you could allow the player to rotate held objects. Well done :)

I really like this concept of building the levels! The music fits the game very well too! At the beginning, I really liked the idea of having this little guy carrying the pieces, but after a while it gets a little annoying :') I think it'd be better if we were just able to drag things with the mouse. Besides that, great game! Keep up the good work ^^

I like the game but I held shift for a while and started moving incredibly fast. Cool game though I think

I like the game concept and the controls are nice. I like the idea to move things around with this bouncy little friend on the string. It also feels super smooth! The level size feels right and the timer isn't frustrating but still gives a deadline feeling - well balanced!

I think the visuals are funny and adding to the vibe but I feel like they could be upgraded a bit if you decide to keep working on this (which I think you should because it's a super fun concept to play!). And the visuals of the placeable objects (stair, ladder, platform) already seem polished to me for a minimalist style.

The audio is nice but the loop could be a little longer, I kind of notice it repeating.

Honestly, for the amount of time you've had and resources this is already great fun to play! I'd play it again if you have more levels.

Nice concept and well executed! I loved the carriage concept to move things around, but it didn't felt very comfortable after a while >.<

That was my only complaint, great job!

I love the idea and love the execution. The only thing I would suggest (and this is just nitpicking) is to change the controls scheme. I believe dragging and dropping with the mouse would have felt more natural. The randomness adding replayability is just the cherry on top, excellent game! One of the best I've played so far.

Congratulations on your submission!

EDIT: The music is really catchy too!

Nice idea :)


FEEDBACKS :

  • too much text at start
  • no AZERTY support
  • not enouch color for items (I'm colorblind and ladder are really hard to see)
  • moving everything with mouse would have been great
  • ladder are weird to climb (why can’t he just reach the end here)

Thank you for the Feedback :3
I'm just adding my thoughts on your points here. You don't need to read it all if you don't want to.

  • too much text at the start:
    • I thought I bring a little bit of story into the game so there is a purpose to do what you do but maybe I should have put that separately from the tutorial
  • no AZERTY support:
    • Sorry, I really wasn't aware of that keyboard layout, but you could use the arrow keys maybe I should have mentioned that in the tutorial.. In my next project I'll include that layout.
  • not enough color for items:
    • Yeah, that was something I was aware of.. When I made the sprites for the objects and the background I didn't check if the visibility would be good and when I realized, I had too much else to do to get the game playable.
  • moving everything with the mouse would have been great:
    • Yea, that was something multiple people pointed out, I liked that I could give it the feeling that the player really hangs on ropes. I think I should have done all controls on the keyboard then and optional mouse support.
  • ladders are weird to climb:
    • That was the result of the fixes of multiple bugs they caused. But for the case you had, I think I should have made the collision box of the ladder smaller.

Thank you for all of that great feedback. And also thanks to anyone to read this all through.

Great idea, I actually liked it so much! The visuals are simple but pleasing and the gameplay is immediately intuitive and fun, great job! ^-^

I will only report a little bug: during one of my playthoughs the second level appeared totally white, and trying to test it with the Ai lead to no result; I unfortunately had to restart but then it fixed itself, so I immagine it was some problem in the level loader. Still, having to restart only meant more fun since I had to play more :)

Thank you for the kind words :3

Yeah I'm aware of that bug.  It's because of levels I added last second.  I messed something up there.

Maybe I'll make a mobile game out of it. I can send you a link when it's finished but it could take some time because I currently don't have the time for it.

Jokes apart very creative game, and great take on the theme :)
