This is a great puzzle game. I played it way too long! I would def port this to mobile. The chill beats were pleasant also! Very nice dude!

Developer

Thanks - I think you’re right about a mobile port :D

Submitted

The music and look of the game really makes it feel calming to play this.  The levels feel confusing at first but as I progressed a quick look near the end and I could tell what path I should take.  My only issue was when holding down a button it could move one more off the edge resulting in a loss.  Overall calming, fun and really well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks - I’m glad you had fun!

I know what you mean about holding the button down; I only tested pressing each time. A bug to fix when the jam is done I think :D

Submitted

Super relaxing puzzle-game. Not to hard but not to easy!

Awesome Job!

Developer

Thanks :D

Submitted

The music is super relaxing. Also the level design is fantastic. Despite everything (except the bookshelf) being rectangular prisms it looks awsome.

Developer

Thanks :D

I’m glad you had fun- my art skills are mostly limited to cubes so it’s good to hear I still made it look good.

Incredible! i like the aesthethic in this game and how the puzzles are polished, the music is very relaxing, wisely chosen, nice game, nice palette, nice puzzles

Thanks :) Happy you had fun with it!

Developer

Thanks - glad you had fun!

This is a really clever and polished puzzle game. Escalating difficulty, relaxing music, no fuss when respawning... very well done.

I made it to Level 8.

Developer(+1)

Cheers- glad you liked it :D (I should probably make a ‘solutions’ video).

Fantastic 5 stars all the way!

Developer

Thanks :D

I love how simple the mechanic was. It almost felt like I was playing a weird spin on minesweeper, haha. The levels were great, and I think they really showed off the mechanic without overstaying their welcome. The music is especially the highlight, it is sooo relaxing and kept me from getting too frustrated. The only thing I would add is a undo button - I found myself accidentally clicking an arrow one too many times, and I had to restart completely.

Developer

Thanks - glad you liked it!

I get what you mean with the undo - either that or make it so you can’t just jump off to your death…

Submitted

Great concept! Loved the minimal art style

Developer

Cheers - glad you had fun :D

Deceptively simple yet fiendish! Level 7 is a killer. Beautifully polished.

Developer

Thanks :D

Good idea and level design!The music is attactive.

I suggest adding a rule which stops the player from jumping into the abyss.

Developer

Thanks!

Yeah, I think you’re right. Being able to jump into the abyss doesn’t really add anything, except as a way to restart if you’re stuck.

Submitted

Game is polished and very well designed. Music is calm, relaxing and really fits the game

Developer

Cheers :D

Submitted

The art and music are calm and wonderful.

A few more gimmicks would have been nice.

Developer

Thanks :) That’s a good idea, more gimmicks would have given me a bit more scope for puzzle design too.

This game was amazing! I'm impressed how many levels there were for a game jam. And they weren't super easy, also. It's really polished for a game jam game as well. I would suggest not letting the player be able to just walk off a cliff though. Kinda frustrating when you're holding down a key in order to travel in a straight line.

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

I get what you mean about being able to walk of the cliff; I mostly left it there as a lazy restart!

Submitted

I really enjoyed this game. There was a decent amount of levels for the amount of polish there was. Also the music was soothing.

Developer

Thanks :D
