Ranked from 22 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
In the game, instead of reaching the goal by obvious means, the correct solution is to make the level impossible to complete, softlocking the game, making everything go wrong.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Everything was made from scratch, except a few audio jingles, which were made by me at an earlier date for a previous project

How many people worked on the game?

Fabulous! I beat this game once. Then one more time. Then again. Then i threw the character into the abyss. Then I threw the box. Then I threw the box and the character... So many replay options. Millions of possibilities. And the soundtrack is just something!

Although small, the concept is really neat! More levels would make this game a really great puzzle experience. The visuals are clean and nice, and the isometric view adds a lot of style to it!

Great work!

Submitted

I liked the look of this one... the clean isometric design caught my eye and I needed to check it out. I managed to softlock the level etc, but it left me wanting a lot more.

You got an end-to-end game loop in place, but I definitely wanted another level or two. But you got sick so understand... Hope you are all feeling better now though of course!

Submitted

Nice, really fun idea. I like the design of the main character and the wonderful sound effects. You have the potential to make some great levels, may be worth expending upon this game after the jam.

Submitted

Really cool concept, I wanted to play more levels :(

Submitted

Sucks that you couldn't do more because I really liked the concept, and it seems like you built a good base to make more levels on top of

Submitted

Wow the sound effect so great. xD

Submitted

I really love this interpretation of the theme and this is a really creative concept! Sorry to hear you were sick this past week–feel better soon!

Submitted

That's a great prototype for a future game.

Really liked the concept, even though it's really short.

Really cool !

Submitted

This is my favourite Interpretation of the prompt so far! I hope you are both better now atleast, next
time you can surely show the games true potential :)

Submitted

The concept has definitely has potential and the visuals are really nice. it would've been nice if you could've expanded on the idea a bit more, but its definitely a solid take on the theme!

Submitted

The concept is interesting, would have been cool to see more levels in the game, unfortunate that you guys got sick :(

Also I love that you did most of the sound effects, just adds so much charm to the whole experience

Submitted

I like the isometric view. The concept is fun, could also be interesting to have multiple was to end a level, and must find all the ways to softlock. I see you implemented the theme in real life too ;)

Submitted

Cute idea! nicely done. Would have like to see more levels and how this idea progresses. 

Submitted

Great idea, it's such a shame you couldn't do more levels.

Submitted

Great game, if there were more levels I would play it:)

Submitted

A fun idea! I hope you'll make more levels eventually!

Submitted

I love the idea and the clean visuals. The audio really adds an extra dimension to the game :p. Would definitely play more if more levels existed.
