Really really interesting mechanic! I was stumped by the lack of controls guide though, and it took me a bit to understand how each object worked. Good job!

Amazing amazing amazing! Really fun puzzle, clever mechanic and clever applications of the mechanic! You included Tutorial Levels, and I liked them! The gameplay was smooth, the graphics were cute (really the proof you don't need 4k graphics for a game to be excellent). I could really see this as a full release post-jam game! The inclusion of a reset or undo function would have been nice though.
Nice concept and fit the theme!
When I worked out how to move them as i thought at the last stage, I became wanting to play more! Hope you can work with it later
Very nice puzzle mechanic: simple and effective.
With some polish, this would be fantastic. Just throwing a few ideas at you:
- I think many players would appreciate some useful buttons/keys (e.g. "reset", "undo". "redo")
- Good tutorial levels and no instructions needed! Though, might be good to have a few hints that would pop-up for players who are completely lost.
- Take some learning, but it's possible to have fairly direct controls over the characters. It seems that more difficult and/or complex levels would need to be tightly designed. I can imagine them being very (perhaps frustratingly) fun.
- With such a simple core mechanic, there are many variations (e.g. changing the shape the box, additional type of characters, etc.) for players to explore. That said, I feel like there's already a lot of potential with what's there now.
both the concept and the execution behind this is really well done! with some more time on presentation this could be a great fully fledged game :)
What the hell is this crazy puzzle? I had lots of fun! Some sort of instructions might've been good, but the "tutorial levels" are self explanatory enough. Really cool core idea, and the actual levels are well designed to showcase different parts of how to control the puzzle. There's a nice ramp up in difficulty, and for all levels there's a clear "aha, so that's what I'm going to try to do next". It's also a really "out of the box" interpretation of the theme, which I really appreciate. Some audio might've been nice? though that's mostly my personal bias towards game audio. Visuals were very clear, and the sunglasses/car eyes were a nice touch.
neat puzzle game. interesting take on the theme
i wouldve liked to see some more unit types to shake up the puzzles even more, although i would have to think a lot about what that would entail.
the lack of audio hurts the game more than anything, the lack of signifyers for different colored units and goals is also likely to be an issue for colorblind players.
definitely a concept that could be built on further, i like it
One of the better jam games I have played. It was hard to understand what was happening in the beginning, so maybe a small tutorial would have been nice. You should work some more on the game, get some nice art, and then release it for mobile. I would play this kind of puzzle game when traveling. You did an excellent job :)
Ok this game is HARD :D But the mechanics are really clever, and overall the game is so intuitive that there's no need for a tutorial.
Smartest game I've played so far. I think the graphic level was perfect, no messing about. Really clear what did what. Honestly, I'm really impressed with this one. Simple, Concise, Smart, Creative.
Very good job, my friend
