This is pretty clean. I like how you kept the minimal style through the audio, art style, and gameplay. The main mechanic is pretty simple but the nuance of maneuvering boxes and altering your jump height leads to some neat puzzles. Well done.

Developer

Thanks! Loved your game, glad to see you enjoyed mine. Hoping to add in a lot more levels/puzzles in the future.

I like the puzzles. The marginal adjustments to weight work very well.

I think the spikes are just a bit too unforgiving. Or maybe I'm just butterfingers.

A little music would have been nice, also.

Developer(+1)

Will definitely add music in later, and will work to fine tune the mechanics and level design.  Thanks for checking it out!

Concept is amazing, physics is amazing! The keys for picking up and dropping boxes were a little confusing as they were different, but altogether a really well-made and well-working game!

Developer

Thanks! Didn't get a chance to add instructions into the game itself, but I was hoping that the keys would be a bit intuitive as being pick "up" and put "down". But I'll definitely work on teaching that a bit more in the game itself.

The sounds are amazing and it's very pleasant to listen to!  I would have liked to see some more levels as they were very fun.  There is a bug where if you press space and then pickup immediately after  you maintain your original jump height with the book, was able to get the WIP map halfway done with this.  Maybe a little music too but nothing that clashes with the sounds.   Overall really fun just needs more levels and more mechanics!

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you had fun! Will have to look into that bug, didn't expect ya'll to do that lol. Definitely will be adding in more in the coming weeks, hope you'll stick around till then.

Great concept, and excellent use of limitation! Weighing yourself down to manipulate your jump height to avoid ceiling spikes was very clever. Would love to see more post jam!

Developer

Will definitely add more levels with new gimmicks in the future. Hope you'll come back to check it out!

Nice game. I liked the feel of the game and the detail of the sound changing with the amount of weight. 

Developer

Thanks! I like using sound as part of the gameplay, glad to see it going over well.

I like how you utilized the mechanic for the game. Especially using the weight as a means to getting through the spikes. There was a bug where I dropped the box and it fell on the outside of the map, so it would of been nice to have a restart button. Overall though, this game was pretty nice.

Developer(+1)

Weird, hadn't seen that happen but will look into it. I can definitely add a restart option though, it's such a simple thing that I honestly just forgot about. Thanks for the feedback!

I like your concept.  There are some collision issues. Character kept getting stuck on certain areas.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! There is an issue with getting caught on the side of some blocks, will try to put in a fix soon.

Nice work! I really like the artwork and unique sound choice. I had some issue sticking to the side of some blocks though.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I think I know the issue with collisions, will try to put in a bug fix soon.
