Hello! I played your game on stream today and I thought you might like to see my live reaction to it. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1995012210?t=1h10m11s

Overall I liked the game aesthetic and the mechanic, but I felt like some of the elements were a little too hidden from the player. It took me a little bit to understand that I could scale up the block in the air, thus making it possible to reach higher places.

It also felt like some of the goal were sometime hidden just outside of the camera, and that it would have been nice to know they were there. Having the camera pulled out to see the whole level and then zoomed in on the player would help solve that problem.

All in all, I liked it, had a great time playing it!

Great feedback, thank you so much! Kinda crazy watching someone else play my game for the first time, new experience for me! And very informative. Much appreciated.

Just watched that stream, you have super great insights! I absolutely missed the mark on explaining things to the player I realize now - I actually think I’ll take lead from your puzzle game and build some sort of tutorial level with actual text. I tried to balance the “aha” moment of learning mechanics vs being told mechanics and wanted to see if I could do it without a text-based tutorial. Either way, I really do appreciate your critiques, they are all extremely helpful!!
