Your game has some pretty good puzzle design. It encourages the player to think about what they're doing and to plan ahead!

I had some concerns:

- On the first level I got the little guy on top of a wood block, and figured out that you can basically make him fly by constantly moving it diagonally upward. I could no longer move him forward without falling after 4 or 5 diagonal clicks, and when I tried to, the screen would just flash red. Is this a nerf, or a bug?

- When I finally got to the red block to turn green, I clicked on it, but I didn't move on to the next level; Nothing happened. Is this a bug?

Feel free to check out my game as well, I could use your imput: https://wasabiiii.itch.io/grass-elemental-demo-demo

You should keep going on this game, it's interesting!

Thank you so much for your feedback!

The screen should definitely not go red so I don’t know what’s happening there. Could you send a screenshot of the problem?

Some other people have had problems with the end block but if they refresh the page and try again it seems to work. I don’t know what’s happening there as it’s only happened once before.

I think we’ll leave the game as it is as this was a jam submission and I like to keep them exactly as we made them. We may create a new version and update it in the future though!

Here it is:

I can't reach the green block anymore, every time I go near it I can't move diagonally up, to the right, or diagonally down.

That’s very strange. Nobody has had this before. Maybe use the arrow keys to move the camera across and try again as it may be a problem with the “Submission to GMTK Game Jam 2023” button. The also helps if clicking the end block doesn’t work.

It could be that you’ve highlighted the game by double clicking. If this is the case then click somewhere else on the page (not the game) and then continue playing.
