Overall cute game! Had a bit of a hard time maneuvering with the camera, but the art style and music are very pleasant and make the game lovely to play ^_^

I like the concept alot and the art, music, and sfx are great! It's totally worth updating the camera script when you get a chance cause it seems like a fun game other with just the difficulty of controlling that getting in the way. Nice job overall!

Submitted

If you like change the camera position when the player enters the island mode it would be better

Overall a nice game

The concept seems cool, but it's near impossible to play because the camera is too close to the player and uncontrollable. I'd like to see it in the future with a new camera script!

It's like a jigsaw puzzle with a twist. Cute art style and music. Controls could use some improvements especially the camera. Also the movement could use some refinement to be able to place islands exactly where you want them. Overall it's a fun and cute little game.

Very enjoyable game with smooth character and camera movement! Good work!

I love the game concept. All you need is for the game to capture the mouse and to build collision meshes around the islands. Very rough to play for now though.

def a lot of bugs, but still a neat idea. really innovative, haven't seen anything like this before in a jam. nice

Submitted

This game has a lot of potential but needs major fixes. The controls are way too janky to have any fun. Otherwise, this seems like a really fun and relaxing game.

Neat little game. Made me think of a when I used to create puzzles in Paint as a child.

Needs some fixes though, like many people pointed out, otherwise it's a bit too annoying to play, proper collision between the pieces would be really helpful.  Also, maybe, more features, to spice it up, like piece rotation and some obstacles.

Anyway, it'll be a fun and relaxing experience with some more work put into it, good luck.

I could see this game being fun if it's polished some more.

The controls and the camera are really weird (maybe this is just in the web version, i dont know)

The combination of the island's hitbox merging and the player switching from one island to another if it goes too far into another island made it really hard to play for me. 

If you can fix or polish these things then it will be a cute little puzzle game that is fun to play in my opinion. Best of luck!

Fun and original, gives me  little flares of poly based games like Minecraft or For the King but in its own unique take on the style. Game was fun as well!

Submitted

Neat idea. I agree that the controls are clunky, but that's easy enough to fix. It's a fun game!

Quite Original : )

The game has an interesting concept but the camera controls in the WebGL build was so difficult to rotate and kind of made it frustrating to navigate. Maybe i would suggest hiding the cursor while in game so it does not leave the game window or make a build that also hides the cursor within the game window while playing. Overall, I like the game and its a fun concept that i wish had some more time for polish for the movement.

Submitted

A very interesting idea that could use a little tweaking to be even better. I would like if the pieces would snap together so you know that you've connected pieces that fit. It seems like sometimes the islands would push each other around and I would lose progress. The controls were pretty wirey and I found that when I played in the browser, my mouse was able to be outside of the viewport window and still influencing the camera, which made it pretty tricky to navigate. All in all, a nice idea with a cool aesthetic that could be polished up with tighter controls!

Clean art style, controls are a bit hard, maybe make the turn a little slower. Good work!

nice

This is a really run idea. A puzzle, but you are inside the puzzle. I really like it And the cube is super cute.

Two things that I don't like.

The controls are really clunky. A bit of a wider camera angle, bit zoomed out, might've helped already.

It would really help if the pieces stuck together once placed correctly. It's a bit jarring to see them not really connect and all you get is the percentage going up. A bit more feedback on the connection part would really help.
