It's fun when you have both roles reversed and not reversed at the same time (There are cursors and the player at the same time). When there are more than one cursor, it gets pretty whacky !
Loved the music! I am a fan of puzzle games and yours was pretty interesting and challenging!
Good job :)
Really intresting concept and great presentation. It's quite fun and clever but I agree slavaxkt, the connection with the theme is not really that strong. Overall though it's a good game.
This is so cute! I love the music and the general vibe. The little guy is lovely.
I would love a whole game with this gameplay. The art is amazing. Great Job!!
Really feel like this could be extended into a full game. The puzzles were really inventive and I feel like the simple art style really helps draw attention to the puzzles themselves, its not too visually busy. I also love the swirly transition. Awesome job!!
The visuals, sounds, and music in this game were phenomenal! Love the 8 bit feel! Having the cursor be a physical object in the environment took a little getting used to, but was a really great way to add depth to the puzzle design. Very well done, great job!
Confusing at first, but you get the hang of it very quickly. Amazing puzzle game. Great work.
Very interesting sokoban game ! I like how having a cursor gives you much more freedom, but also constrains your movement so it brings an entirely different challenge ! Took me 2 levels to get used to it, but it was fun
Nice puzzle game, enjoyable! Love the name of the game and also arts are on point! Well done, good job!
Simple concept yet effective. I'm no big puzzle game player so it's hard for me to put the finger on it, perhaps other comments will be of more help, but for how polished and well thought out the game is (I really can't push enough how good it is) I felt like something was missing in the level design. The solution often resumed to "find a spot to stock my cursor so it doesn't bother me". If it is kind of the point for the first levels, it became increasingly evident during the further ones where we have multiple of them, where I would think to myself the cursors that were supposed to help me where more of a pain (which I get is probably part of the design to make the level more complex), but I ended up stocking most of them in a corner and solve the puzzles with 1 or 2 cursors max.
But overall this is a very cool game that probably would deserve to have its developement pushed further past the jam and possibly become the next Baba is You! Congratulations!
I liked the game. The game loop is entertaining to me. The art style is really nice as well!
I don't know if this was intentional, but I was not able to move onto the space of my cursor which made for frustrating gameplay. The art is amazing while minimalistic however and it's a fantastic idea that I would love to see continued :)
Though push the box has been done many times as a genre staple, this is a decent twist on the formula.
another push the box puzzle! however, your idea is not only cuter than mine, but also more ingenious! congratulations, i liked the game very much (:
Simple mechanics but cool puzzles. Also nice art style.
