Cool concept! Goodlooking minimalistic artstyle and nice colors!
I would call it minimalistic, but yes the color scheme is brilliant! reminds me of hyper light drifter!
Very nice looking and challenging game! Only feedback I have is that the controls for grabbing/placing blocks on keyboard feels odd. I'd prefer using spacebar.
Yh, I think they could share the project files, so we can tamper with the controls a bit :D
Fantastic game! Looks Great, Plays Great and amazing sound design.
Very impressive, super fun to play. I love the art style too :)
Same here ,the art was beautifully presented, and i managed to crunch 20 games :O

This game is phanominal and it's so addictive.
I agree! The art is mind numbing! I played around 20 games now, its spreading! :O
Great mechanic! It is a really fun and well polished game. I like the different enemy types.
Same! They all have a unique aspect to them in functionality and design! The art was superb!

Super fun and I think you can get really good at is as well so lots of replay value :)
Same here! The game was super addicting and the art was fantastic on their part, congrats to the gamedevs!
Had to play this one! Just wow. The mechanics are golden. Not to mention that it looks phenomenal! Thank you for this gem :).
I have to agree here, everything about its core was spot on. I can imagine this turning into a full steam release one day :)
great game, really fun!
Very addicting, and lovely artwork!
Very innovative and fits the jam theme well making an overall great game. Fantastic work!
Yes, can agree. The ideology was superbly presented and the artwork was phenomenal on the developer's part, an excellent piece!
You just got my first all-around-five-star-rating. Wonderful job! My favorite of the jam so far! You both are an inspiration, and I'll be watching eagerly to see what you come up with next.
Great job! Keep it up.
Great work, especially for a game made in 48hrs and original concept. Enjoyed the art style and was fun to play. I like the fact that you can jump in the water but only for a short amount of time, gives some room for player error.
I can say the same here! The amount of time they must have spent on the jam must have been huge!
I love everything about this game. My friend and I just spent a couple hours taking turns trying to get a high score. Great submission!
Super innovative mechanics, I had never seen anything like it. Congratulations, it was very well done. I strongly recommend that you continue development and turn this into a super game! Really congratulations!
Overall I really enjoyed this game! I absolutely adored the art and music and the idea was really interesting. While playing the game however, I found that there were definitely some flaws.
For example I though that hitting other blocks would destroy part of my raft and was avoiding doing it until I was unable to avoid it and found out that they get added to your raft, not destroy it. In addition I found that selecting blocks could be a bit finicky when paired with the movement, as I would sometimes end up on top of the block I wanted to select and unable to actually select it without moving again.
Despite these shortcomings the game was super fun to play and kept me engaged for quite a while. For sure deserving of all of the popularity its been seeing and I would love to see an expanded version post jam.
This was really awesome! Music and visual aesthetic were spot on. The gameplay was very enjoyable. All I'd say is I found using the z and x key to be uncomfortable. The keys could have been spaced out better.
The core mechanic in this is really inventive! I loved the 3d pixel art aesthetic you went for and the variety of mechanics that discourage both having an extremely wide raft and a width 1 raft. That said having a narrow raft seemed in general like a pretty good strategy and I was able to get 353m with it.
One thought I had was since the game is in 3d and you can jump it would be really cool to have obstacles along the z-axis (or y-axis depending on how you implemented this :p). Jumping only seemed useful for crossing 1 square wide gaps in my raft but I could easily imagine stacking blocks to build a raft of greater height to collect some power up above me (stacking blocks right now seems to just overlay them on the same square). Or maybe there's a log that fell down horizontally across the entire river and your raft is able to pass under it but you need to jump over it to avoid falling into the water.
Anyways, great game and definitely deserving of its popularity!
I really really like the music and the art <3 the idea was absolutely great as well, but the execution wasn't that good... I couldn't select the right blocks because once I hit the arrow key the character starts moving and goes on top of the block I want to select, you could've made the character only moves when the button is held for longer than half a second or something like that... some collectibles are impossible to collect, but I understand that's the best you could do in the given time , also you could've made the difficulty scale up rather than the game starting hard when I'm still learning how to play... overall I loved it and it's one of my favorites, good job!
/a web version would've been nice/
