That was awesome. Would love to have a post jam version with more challenging puzzles and maybe a level editor in game.

Congratulations for the game! I loved how the mechanics were designed to fit the theme. Rated <3

OttoCool! I like this little puzzler. It's simple to grasp but deceptively simple to solve. It would be nice if moving into a wall or an unmovable object would not consume a step though it never caused me to lose.
This is definitely one that I want to see further published with some fun music added to it. Nicely done :D

Buddy SystemThis is a great way of applying the "only one" concept to an existing idea! Really cute graphics, quite clean.
Have you seen the GMTK video on puzzle design?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsjC6fa_YBg&t=2s
I'd tried making puzzle games for years and could always come up with neat mechanics but I always fell flat when it came to making levels that were challenging but didn't feel cheap. The advice in that video helped a ton.
If you'd like to see how our team applied those lessons for this jam check out our game, Ka-Bob: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/460345.

Ka-BobThank you for playing my game, as for the puzzle design I gotta say that I wasn't focused at all in the puzzles, mostly it was about the mechanics of the game and fixing bugs before the jam ended. Levels that are showed in the game are just to give the sense and idea of the game.
Yes, I will take a look at your game too.
The box moving games have been done since games started being a thing, but being able to move a box only once changes the mindset you have to have when confronting the puzzles. Blocks moving also in one direction are a nice adittion that gives diversity although the level designer should be careful because sometimes they give away the solution quickly.
Theme, only one movement per box, some boxes move only in one direction, fitting.
Originality, it doesnt stray much from the genre but the twist on the mechanics brings life to it and a breath of fresh air.

Crystal WickWow! Such a challenging and cute game. Moving one box at a time was a really great use of the theme.

By The BladeAbout the game idea in which you can move a box only one time or that some boxes can be moves in only one direction is amaizing, it fits with the jam but it needs some work because the game currently has some bugs, some boxes overlap with each other and if you press both keys player moves diagonally, I'm not sure if that is supposed to happen.
