Funny idea well done! :)
Damn, very well polished. there have been a fair few games this year using this idea but none this good. Plus I'm a sucker for good pixel art (if my own game didn't give that away)
Great game. The puzzles are fun, especially since there are multiple ways to solve them. and the machanics is really fun to play around with. also fits the theme really well. managed to complete all the levels!
Great game. keep it up♥
Excellent execution even if you ignore the 48hr limit!
This is such a great idea, and such a clean implementation! It's funny, it's smart, it has impressive AI, this is the full package! 10/10 IGN
Cool game! Some scene transitions might be nice. Great job!
Great fun until the third level. Dang! Great game!
I have a suspission that the third level is actually impossible : I wanted the dummy to jump to the blue platform to reach the red platform and hit the wall, except that the dummy jumps at the wrong spot, at half of the block.
Great idea. I would have like a reset button for the player. At times, it was a bit tedious to wait for the character to walk back and forth. I missed a grid in the beginning, but liked that the jets implied that very well.
Sounds for the character and the buildings block would surely make this game more tangible.
Very cool puzzle game! Some levels were a bit odd, but regardless I had a lot of fun! Great Job!
interesting take on the theme! hope you will continue to work on this!!!
This was a fun puzzle! I liked slowly getting further and further in the level as time went on, but I do wish there were a restart button, so I don't have to re-position the player each attempt. Good work!
Thank you for the feedback! We actually had a restart button until about 1 hour before the deadline, but we caught a bug on it and had to remove it last minute :p
Fun game and interesting execution for controlling the platforms. Like some others have said, a grid overlay while paused would be nice. Other than that, very cool game! I liked getting to string combos of pausing and moving platforms; well done!
Super clever game. The idea is so well executed, the artstyle cohesive and the level design is on point. The only thing I can ask for is for it to clearly show the grid while paused. Great job!
Thank you for the feedback! That is actually a very good suggestion, no one in the team thought about that.
Neat puzzle game. I think it's really cool that you got this working with no physics bugs. There were some cheesy strategies involving moving blocks while jumping, but otherwise it was pretty tight.
The idea itself is one I think most people thought of but you actually managed to create a charming, fun game from it. The idea is an obvious one yet the execution is stellar. Definitely an interesting puzzle platformer! Great work!
Loved the concept, and the level design with the start playing as the tutorial was brilliant. Awesome work with this sub!
A game about a developer getting angry with testers couldn't be more relatable, lol.
Sometimes it was a bit overwhelming to see so many pieces to move in a big level, maybe they could be reduced in some way (maybe thats just because I fear puzzles XD)
But it was very entertaining - the game feels really polished!
Thank you so much for the feedback! Maybe we could try scaling the level size and the number of pieces depending on player progression.
I love the music and the art, especially the dummy's walk! It's a fun and challenging puzzle but I must admit: some of my levels really do suck, the QA team might be right sometimes after all... :D
Well, we only had a QA team inside the game's lore. All the levels were clearly not tested enough lol.
Thanks for the feedback btw
Oh, sorry, I was trying to refer to "tired of watching stupid playtesters trying to finish your levels" in your game's description and with my games in general. Sorry for the confusing joke, maybe I should have used a joketester before posting... :)
Thank you for your feedback :D We are glad you enjoyed it!
I think Enrico was out of context of our talking xD
Nah, don't worry. It is a short amount of time to make everything. Your game is pretty fun yet. But yeah, you are right, playtesting helps out designing levels. We didn't have QA team as well, but we tried to rush on testing lol
The rush testing is kinda part of the game jams, I think - and I only make games for jams, unfortunately, so... :D
Though I'm working on an updated version, fixing things based on the feedbacks I got and things I missed during the jam - it's already much better, will post it after the voting ends (there is a rule saying "do not put links to other builds [...] This may see you being disqualified from the jam.")
Yeah! Our ideas were indeed similar but your game is very fun and well polished! Mine needs some work after the jam period. Excellent submission and thanks for you feedback in my pico8 game ;)
