Launching yourself feels good in this. The weight of the little guy seems just right. I was a little confused with the targeting at first but it looks like the arrow flips depending on the last direction you were facing, once I figured that out I enjoyed it. The moving platforms added some good challenge, however I found getting on to them a little tricky, perhaps setting the physics to have less friction? Other than that it was some good level design and the main mechanic felt good to use. Goo job

In what way does your game fit the theme?
The player must stack together with other boxes in order to reach higher platforms and avoid danger. Together, the player (a box) is stronger with other boxes
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code and made the assets myself, however I did take some inspiration from others for the artwork

Those levels are really nice. I especially like the double pink boxes as I hurled myself and missed but saved myself with the second one midair! Really nice game with a lot of effort that went into it!
The game is really good! I love it when people use lighting in games! This game is probably one of the best games I've played in this jam! My only gripe is that the characters move too slow, but that might be my ADHD speaking. Really good game tho!
I loved it! It is one of the best ones I've seen so far, actually. I love your idea, and the execution is pretty good. I think that the movement is sometimes a little annoying - it's hard to actually predict the throw trajectory. The music is really nice. Pixel art textures are nice, but I think that the bricks are a little too high-res, and don't fit the environment that well.
Hello! I enjoyed your game a lot! It was the right mix of challenging and fun.
I hope you continue the game post-jam cause I would love to see some new levels :D
Also I would really appreciate it if you considered rating my game too! :)
The mechanic for your game is so cool! The levels are also very fun to play through, and I liked the art. Maybe one suggestion is give the box's jump a little more height. But overall, this is a very solid game, good job!
Very nice game and mechanics. Sometimes frustrating but still keeping me trying again :-) Definitelly would remove the E key pressing and kept just aiming with mouse all the time when they are 2+.
i like a graphic part the most, i think you need to work more on controls stuff .. but overall i love this
I like your Game :D I had some issues playing (zooming out) but it looks and sounds fantastic
Great concept, little annoying that you cannot steer in the air though but still a very good game
I had to laugh when starting the game, great concept controlling a box! Nice idea throwing them as well, wish you could steer a bit in the air, wouldn't have missed so many times then. Although I guess it might be intentional.
I really loved playing your game. It's amazing. The only bug I really noticed was on level 6 that the second moving platform would sometimes disappear when I died and respawned. But other than that it was amazing I loved it.
