How does your game match the theme?
The player must clean up the files on the hard drive in puzzle mode before they can complete the level in platformer mode. (The drive is out of space!)

That was cool! The defrag mode was a little confusing, but workable. The floaty momentum of the movement was a little strange, but I ended up liking it a lot! The art and character design is polished and cute, and the music is cool.
The audio is a tiny bit loud, especially when multiple enemy and jump sounds stack on top of each other. While rare, it sometimes peaked past 0.0 dB.
Great work!
The platforming was pretty solid, if a bit slippery. There was a lot of variety in interactions for a first level. The puzzle was a bit confusing, but nothing that can't be fixed with proper tutorialization.
Good stuff!
Little guy be nyooming! The camera moves if you hold down the run button, even if you're running into a wall, so that could use some adjusting. The defrag game was confusing and if you pressed the up button twice, you could just kind of stash one for later? Instead of sorting them properly, the first time around I just stashed everything then piled it together and it felt like I was definitely exploiting a bug of some kind.
Related, I think that the puzzle being cleared should open the door and then make you go through by pressing a key or something - first time, I cleared the puzzle so early I didn't even get to see the door before the "you won!" screen came up, so I had to replay just to see it.
Overall a fun concept though and I love the designs in this! Protag caught my eye so much in the progress channel that I asked around if anyone knew what his game was, and the enemies are such fun and unique little critters. Would definitely play more of this!
great graphics and soundtrack. I didn’t really understand what to do in the tetris mode…
Nice megaman game! But I think hes TOO FAST, I can jump to the other side of the scenary. Loved the sprites and the attack, really takes me back to xtreme for gameboy!
I really enjoyed the graphics and attention to detail. Also the music was frickin sick. good work
I really enjoyed the narrative part. The visual inspired by Megaman looks great!
That's an amazing idea and great execution! The artwork is lovely and polished, soundtrack pleasantand gameplay engaging. Good work!
Very interesting theme, feels good to play, the "defragment" minigame is pretty cool though a bit confusing, once I noticed its a vertically reversed tetris and the number represented the amount of rows of space I had to move it up to count the block as correctly positioned then it all flowed naturally, very cool game and I would love to see a complete version of it :>
Glad you enjoyed it! You're right about the minigame - it could have used more explanation.
Thank you for playing!
The whole team did a fantastic job with the platformer side of the game. But the defrag mechanics are either poorly explain or broken. I couldn't get past the first stage because of it.
That's understandable - the defrag mechanics got built early, but probably received the least actual dev time of any part of the project. And you didn't miss much; there's only 1 stage.
Thank you for playing though!
Great game! Defiantly got that gameboy feel. I don't see where the space theme really comes in as much though. Other than that, its a really fun game
Although original, I didn't find the defragment part to be very intuitive.
Other than that, great game!
i really like the art and level design for this one
color palate was also nice
however I think controls can be nicer :)
overall , nice game ;) keep going <3
