I like that you need to be progressively more and more creative.
Good game !
Thank you!
:D
Great game! Like the idea. Reminds me of Lemmings and Kirby's Canvas Curse. It's a bit easy how it is now, and the first couple levels are a bit big, but this concept still has lots of room to grow.
Maybe by limiting the amount of blocks you can place, sending in a lot of players, different brush sizes etc. Definitely got me thinking about the possibilities!
I might continue this game if it gets good feedback. Glad you enjoyed, thanks for playing!
:D
Nice funny game :) ! Good job !
Thank you!
:D
Fun game with a cool concept! Really like the fact you can both place your own blocks and destroy already existing blocks! Good job :)
Thanks!
:D
Really cool puzzle game. Honestly one of the best games I've playtested so far. Great job!
Thank you for enjoying it!
:D
Simple concept leads to a lot of fun with trying to solve the puzzles. There are so many possible solutions for any given room with how much flexibility you have, and that's neat!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the levels.
:D
Very VERY cute. Greatly enjoyable with our little derpy player. The way the mechanics works with placing and removing blocks is super clean, the jumping feels fun to watch, and honestly all in all a brilliant submission!
Thank you! I'm glad you had fun.
:D
Awesome game! fun concept, excellent and enjoyable execution, really fun and simple to play and see what you can make the player do. Lots of freedom to play around. Awesome game, definitely worth expanding on.
Thank you for playing!
:D
Very good design, pretty easy but you could perhaps limit the number of actions the world has per round, or maybe make some timing challenges.
Yeah, I thought of these, but I didn't add them. Anyway, thanks for playing!
:D
This has got to be the best game I've played in this jam so far! The art and music were fantastic, and the gameplay was so satisfying. There are many games like this in the jam but yours stands out because of how well it runs and how creative you can be with such a small toolset. Well done! Easy 5/5.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I never expected a 5/5!
:D
the game is very performative for letting me draw blocks all over the place in a web browser. I like that there's no limit to the drawing so it can feel very creative.
but the performance is what makes it so satisfying as a package, nice work!
Thank you for playing! In this game, I did some optimization for the browser version which I usually don't do, and I see it has paid off. I've also seen a few people tell me I should've limited the blocks, so your feedback is also nice and unexpected. Maybe I should make a limited mode and a free mode? Anyway, thanks for playing and enjoying once again!
:D
I'd like to think it's a difference of player versus developer feedback? I try to approach as a player as much as I can, and as a player I loved the freedom. If I removed all my knowledge of game dev and came to the game, it's hard to imagine I would ask for more restriction.
But we also know that just everyone is different and will always give conflicting feedback :D
They optimization was very worth it, thank you for doing it!
This game gets a lot of mileage out of a very simple set of rules. Impressive! There are a lot of
"auto-platformers" in this jam, but yours stands out with a fun and responsive block-drawing mechanic.
However, I think that some of the levels are too big-- in challenges where I'd expect to be racing to save my little guy, I end up having to wait for him to catch up. Also, it's easy to build a tube that avoids all of the obstacles entirely. Another reviewer suggested a block limit and I think that'd quickly make things more strategic.
Great job!
Level design is never my strong suit in games, I don't know why I keep making games that need levels. Thank you for enjoying this game!
:D
Really nice pixel art and music :D
I think there should be a limit on blocks placed though because i kinda found myself spamming blocks everywhere
Thanks! I thought of adding a limit, but I saw that the game still worked without because you can't break or place on the dangerous blocks but yeah, I guess it would've been better!
:D
The player animations are great and the levels were fun.
Thanks!
:D
simple but addicting. It is what it is.
Thanks!
:D
That was a fun game! Simple art, and simple gameplay but that's all we need to have fun
Thanks!
:D
i had a lot of fun playing this game! it's simple but very well executed with clean visuals and addictive music and sound effects!
Thank you for playing!
:D
I love it! the art is simple, but fits, the music is also good! Building mechanic - really great thing
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the game.
:D
The Music was extremelly satysfying great decision . I had fun playing the game great job
Thank you! I didn't actually make the music though. (the credits are in the game page if you're curious)
:D
Cool game! I love the pixel art and the music! I also love te mechanic where you can manipulate the terrain to solve the puzzles.
Thanks!
:D
