  • Cute and fun! I'd be careful to use better contrast for Blocky so it's easier to see them on the screen. Also, the contrast between the tiles and the light of the shapes can be tiring for the eyes, so be mindful of that when you design games — screens are already not friendly for the eyes, we want to make sure people want to and can look at our games for as long as possible! The puzzles were fun, I loved how you integrated the theme into it by making each square Blocky's friends who want to be closer! A clever interpretation. Each puzzle was unique and challenging. I had more issue with level three than level four though, but maybe that's just because all brains are different. There was no music, but the sound effects absolutely were enough to keep the vibe up the whole time. Very good choice of sound, added to the cuteness of the rest. A strong use of a classic gameplay pattern, wrapped in a neat narrative direction; you leaned into the simplicity of the gameplay to allow for more variation and that gives a lot to games of this style. The level selection menu was also clever, using the right amount of blocks for each increase in difficulty. I really wanted to get three stars everywhere!
