Wow this is my favourite game so far and I’ve already voted for 29 games. The music is so awesome, and graphics too. Please rate and play my game too.

This game is great! The difficulty curve seems a little rough, as I figured of the first puzzles pretty quick but was stuck at the seventh one, but that's probably just me being dumb :), the Skip System is great bc it doesn't tell you the solution and therefore leaves you unsatisfied, which makes you come back to try again. The levels are beautifully presented and I really like the symmetry in a lot of them that works great with the puzzle (although , the perspective the game pretty unplayable with WASD makes as many other comments already pointed out) but I gotta give you a lower rating in audio and graphics cuz you did use some assets.

I'm very impressed how much you got out of that one simple and relatively straightforward and often used mechanic. You took the theme very literal and it works great! Well done!

This is a really polished game, it's very inspiring how this was made in a week. I was very impressed with the art, the sfx, the animations(the splash animation is really good) and the music is top-notch. The 1st puzzles are pretty hard but the game more or less makes up for it with how polished it feels and pretty it looks. Great job!

Graphics and sounds are good and puzzles are entertaining!

Génial ! Super level design et bonne ambiance. J'ai juste eu du mal a me faire aux contrôles a cause de la perspective mais  merci pour l'ajout des flèches cliquables je serais probablement devenu fou sans ^^ ! Une fonction de retour en arrière aussi aurait été cool mais a ce niveau je suis vraiment en train de chipoter. Très bonne entrée je me suis régalé. Félicitations !

Please, make more levels! i spent the last hour completely enchanted by your game!

half on this time was in the last level, trying to push the 5th box to the right position.

Great Job! Thx for this amazing experience!

Please, if you have the time, check out my game, your feedback will mean the world to me!

Very strong style from both the graphics and sounds 👌💕
The music was on point and pushed the atmosphere further
A lot of thought was deceivably simple, but had a lot of depth which was great (tickled my brain whenever I figured out the solution 🤣)

Don't have much to add
Hope you can figure out those bugs on the web version
Great work!

The puzzles where really challenging and I absolutely loved the art-style and overall original mechanics. In the beginning I was a bit confused with the movement controls, but I got the hang of it rather quickly.

Submitted

very peacefull and relaxing puzzle game. I like it! somethimes because the levels are angled i got confused with the controls which was amazing.

Well done!

the isometric view makes it a bit hard to go the way you wanna go, though the visual style colors and music make this game shine would love to see a deeper dive into shape theory.

the game play is simple but with a twist to keep you thinking.

great work!

I have already played a version of your game without animations and sound (you posted it on discord)...and Wow it is great now. The puzzle mechanic and the audio is awesome. The only thing I don't like is the camera perspektive because now I have to rethink every time in which direction each button moves. I want to figure out the puzzles - not the controls. Other than that you should add an option to redo some moves, but it was still adorable! The best puzzle game in this jam so far.

These graphics are outstanding, great job!

Really cool and well done puzzle mechanics, the visuals are awesome too. Very good game.

A simple and fun little puzzle game. Well done.

Nicely done and super polished. I love the water shader and the blocks going down once you step on them. The movement is a bit hard to grasp at first but it gets easier. The level design is also very well made!

Submitted

Lovely art and music! Absolutely gorgeous! Unfortunately I think have a bug where I cannot play further: https://imgur.com/nW7OjAv? If I go north-west here the block immediately falls down, is this normal?

Hello. I was not able to reproduce the bug. Did you play the browser or desktop version? Which browser? The game was tested on firefox . I just tried it on chrome and found a weird sound glitch but beside that all was working fine.

Submitted

I played the browser version in chromium (87) on Linux. I think I bug-finished the previous level, and then this one had some wrong state.


Now I tried it in firefox and it worked very well. Completed 12 levels. By far the best game so far! Love the details (like when you step on a box in water, beautiful!) Only criticism I have is that controlling with WASD is very confusing, died numerous times to that, but controlling with mouse was fine. Great game!

Thanks you for your feedback, I'm glad you was able to play.

I really liked this game! The movement was a bit of a difficulty to me since i didnt always know which button lets the characters walk where. But still, i liked the puzzles and the way you introduced new mechanics. Nice graphics btw!
