Like the atmosphere of this game. When you described the "enemies" as being the puzzles and isolation, I thought there was going to be a sanity stat or something at first. Glad there was not, because that probably would have made the game way too rushed.

GAMEPLAY
For the time period in which this was made, it's definitely a solid little puzzle game. The puzzles were straightforward and could benefit from more variety to enhance the challenge and engagement levels. And sometimes I got stuck, maybe think about some ways to avoid that.

ART STYLE / VISUALS
The game featured cute pixel art that effectively added to the visual appeal of the game, fitting well with the overall aesthetic.

AUDIO / SOUND DESIGN
The background music was appropriate but quickly became repetitive. Introducing more varied sound effects or music tracks could improve the auditory experience in a future update.

INNOVATION
Not really applicable

THEME
The theme was included but touched upon only lightly.

Conclusion: Nice fun little puzzle game. Good job 💪

Not a bad game tbh, just not a lot of variety in the puzzles.

Developer

I agree, I am not good at making puzzles haha. Thanks for playing tho!

I’m impatient and don’t enjoy box pushing games even at their best, so I can’t say I was particularly fond of the gameplay, but it’s functional, great pixel art, decent mood. Especially for four days it’s a real solid achievement, good work :)

I guess it depends on the person's liking haha, Thanks for playing the game tho!

The music is fantastic! But i was stuck after some time, because i didn't know what to do.

Developer

Hm, If you are stuck in 3rd area then you should look for an extra box in previous area.

Played and rated!

Neat little game, it's pretty simple but good enough for a start, and I found one easter egg :)

I found it to be pretty long to walk around even while sprinting and the boxes were too far apart from the buttons I think. Other than that congrats on making this game!

Would appreciate if you check out and rate our game as well:

Yeah, I will give your game a play. Thanks for playing!

Loved the look of it, I only managed to find one of the easter eggs and I accidentally pushed a box into it that I couldn't get back so had to restart. Neat little puzzle game, but I did find myself holding the run key the entire time I was playing (except for when I wanted to swap between the walk and run animation in time with the music)

Developer(+1)

Yeah I think the run button is too overpowered haha. Thanks for feedback tho!

Very cute art style! In games where you have to push boxes, it's very easy to mess up and push boxes in corners or against walls where you can't pull them back. So it would be nice to have either a system to undo mistakes or the ability to pull the boxes towards you.

Developer

I agree with that, I am getting a lot of comments about that haha. Thanks for playing tho!

I was transported to the GBA Pokémon games. I like the aesthetics, try to make the edges not the same color as the meadow where you can walk, the first time it is a bit confusing. Select a background song that doesn't repeat too quickly to avoid fatigue. The mechanics are very well executed (nice touch about the road particles).

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback!

I'll add my two cents: with a music loop that short, it'd be useful to intertwine it with silence or ambient sounds. The distances between boxes and buttons can get really long, and that just makes the player wait while holding a key, perhaps smaller but more complex puzzles would solve that.

The spritework was very pleasing to the eye, and I liked it.

Developer

I added some ambient sounds in the game, perhaps your volume was too low in settings. I have no experience with making puzzles so probably they are not that good haha. Thanks for playing tho!

I got stuck by pushing the box to far off 🤣 , but the art , sound and atmosphere was encaptivating , nice assets too , overall good game !

Developer

Box getting stuck is the biggest problem ig lol, Thanks for playing tho!

np :  )

The art and the atmosphere were good, but the "box" mechanism didn't match the theme of a forest. A "Warehouse" was better I think (no obvious reference to my submitted game btw!). The level design could be better but it's good I think. Good job :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I am kinda new to this game dev thing. I will keep that in mind haha

Submitted(+1)

My mind said boxes... i could really use a restart level button

Developer(+1)

What are you talking about? 

Submitted(+1)

I mean I messed up in the first level, the box couldn't be placed again and I had to quit . It would be nice to have a restart level button

Developer

Well I have no experience with making checkpoints, maybe I have to look into it. I will keep that in mind. You can restart from the browser for now ig haha. Thanks for playing tho!

Submitted(+1)

really cool, love the art and atmosphere, found 1 of the easter eggs but couldnt find the other one, some feedback i would give is that pushing boxes when you are so slow gets repetitive at times, same with the music, overall good game to play and enjoy!

Developer

Thanks!
