Pretty cool, i really like the chunky commandline style interface with the unnecessary y/n and the crunchy noises.  the gameplay is a bit chaotic but in a predictable way, which is nice because it forces you to experiment a bit more and see what happens.

This is pretty fun, and a clever idea. Feels like something that could be expanded into a game that can be used to teach level design, with some more complex objectives and stuff haha. Little things like the player feedback and review quotes were a nice touch too. Nice job.

Submitted

it's a game that forces you to think a bit, but the idea itself is pretty cool and you find yourself taking your time for something more than the goal! 

A perfect little jam game

I love the retro vibes and music and the ability to name your game and studio was a nice touch.

Very creative. Overall it's fun, can benefit from quality of life improvements such as right click to remove blocks, 1-9 shortcuts of the selected block and indication of selected block. Not really fan of this art style but gameplay is very fun and addictive, good job!

i like the theme implementation and the art style!

and also my game isn't getting a lot of views, can you give me some feedback ?

Submitted

Very well designed game and good use of the theme. I like how the tools are introduced and how many there are, quite impressive. Adding an "auto jump" feature would help with how the levels can be designed but it's a fantastic game nonetheless

Very cool game but I feel like being able to delete things by using the right mouse button and testing the game using a different key as an optional way would be cool so i don't have to move my mouse so much . Still good game :D

Fun game! Love the theming wrapper around it. Main thing missing for me is a lack of automated jumping from the player character. Felt like the early levels were just "slow your descent" and it would really open up some level possibilities. Great work!

Brilliant game catering for the IGN game reviewer experience.

I think this is gonna be my favorite.

I played for almost 2 hours, it's actually quite satisfying finding the solution. It gets hard later on too, but not impossible. I love the mechanics and how they're introduced + the goals are creative too.

The bullet ability does seem a bit buggy later on (lvl 8, it doesn't want to shoot :(), but overall it's very polished, awesome flavour text and game dev fantasy (reminds me of gamdev tycoon).

In conclusion: MORE PEOPLE NEED TO PLAY THIS ONE.

Thank you for your kind words! The team really appreciated it. And sorry about the bug - like most entrants, we submitted close to the deadline and weren't able to catch and fix everything.

Submitted

Really good execution of the idea. I feel like most people would look at something like this and decide that the scope is too large for a jam. Impressive that you pulled it off!

Submitted

Great idea, and presentation
