Awesome game, very good art and graphics, the sound effects were perfect. That last level had me stumped for a little bit but managed to finish. Amazing job!

Very cool (pun not intended) and thought provoking concept. Made my brain woozy at the final level, haha. The presentation and music were fun as well.

The ice melting provides an interesting idea for the limitation (a cost per move), but I don't think there are many instances where you'd fail to solve a level because the ice completely melted. Some levels that require you to skate on the ice to save moves could provide a very interesting use of the limitation.

Thank you for taking the time to play and comment! Glad you enjoyed your time :D

Yes! In hindsight, I probably should have focused on the melting challenges in the earlier stages. I like your idea of skating to save moves, I was actually thinking of the opposite (double punishment - you slide away and melt faster) so I did not code that in! You have a good eye for cool game design detail, which is clearly reflected in your submission!


Thanks again :)

Thank you so much for these kind words, glad you liked my idea :)

Cool game, pretty interesting implementation of pauses during resetting the level when losing.

Developer

Glad you liked it! Thanks for playing and taking the time to comment :) !

OMG I love B-Cubed! Turning the cube into a melting block adds a great puzzle aspect, and fits right in with the theme in a clever way. Short & sweet, nice job!

Thanks for the sweet comment! Really glad you enjoyed it :D !

I really like how you used the limitation to justify the puzzle (the water we leave behind and that makes things slippery is a great idea showing the consequences of our passage).

You could have incorporated the future theme through a story to justify it or with "robotic" assets or other kind.

That said, very good puzzle!

Thanks for taking the time to play and for your feedback :D !

Agreed, I could have put some effort into incorporating the theme as well. 

Glad you enjoyed this game and the limitation :)

I like this kind of puzzles. I think I see the idea of a game jam... but it's not obvious.

Developer

Thanks for playing and for your feedback :D !

Yea the limitation could have been presented better, I agree.


Thanks again!

I love the puzzles, some of them were a bit challenging, and the game is visually pleasing, but the limitation needs to be incorporated more.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes agreed, I could have done a better job presenting the limitation. Many lessons learned :D !

Thanks a lot for taking the time to play and comment :) !

a very good puzzle game, but i don't see the jam's theme or limitation that much.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! Yes, I didn't really focus on the theme, but I tried to embed the "limitation" in the core mechanic. I could have definitely done a better job here :)

Thanks a ton for taking the time to play :D !

It's a very interesting puzzle game with excellently designed levels!

fun  consapt, but i didnt relly get the limitation, overall great game <3

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! Yeah I probably could have done a better job ironing out the idea behind the limitation. I wanted to present more challenges that would utilize the melting ice mechanic, but ran out of time.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to play!

Cool game! Would do numbers on CoolMathGames, and I mean that in the most positive way. I didn't really struggle with the puzzles, so the limit of moves didn't really effect me. I really liked this though!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yea I initially intended for 30 levels, but had to stop at 8 so I don’t lose my day job lol! 
thanks for taking the time to play and comment!!
