Game make my brain go boom but quite enjoyable nontheless.

Very cute twist on a classic board game.Could have been sweet to have the volume control BEFORE the intro though.

Originally I thought I would have time to implement a Main Scene where you could go into an options' menu, start the game and end it. I ran out of time, unfortunately.

Fun, just tedious... but then again that baked into the game's narrative.

I finished playing all the levels, and what a nice game! The puzzles were quite difficult but nothing impossible. Quite fun.

The sprites and music are good, and the fact that the girls try to talk when they move is a really great touch (I'd also like to congratulate Jackie Fox for doing the voices in the game!).

It's really impressive that you put 40 different levels into a week-long game jam!

The only problem I had playing was the fact that I couldn't really understand the position of the boxes and the girls on the map. Many times it seemed like the path was clear to walk but something was blocking me and I couldn't understand what it was. Other than that, it's a great game!

Developer

That was one of my main concerns, I wanted to make a 6x6 grid, but the Sprites and Background didn't really match that. With more time, I would either implement a true grid snap or chance the background to better represent the grid.

Needs a bit of work to show the boxes position clearly

Lots of content and nice idea! the gameplay is a bit tricky though- often the carts that are not meant to move are the once to move etc. For sure one of the better once this jam!

Thanks. I had bigger carts before, where that problem was even worse. I think it comes down to a problem in perspective, since a Top-Down view would be the best, but I made my sprites at an angle view.

40 levels? This game has a lot of content.
Good job.

Just a smart setup. The girl and the exit are always in the same lane, so I could reuse the Base Level Layout. It mostly came down to placing the objects. It also has no new mechanics for the later levels, so that saved a lot of time.

I love the idea and it great as a puzzle game.
My only wish the sound for the text was lower and was a bit faster.
Other than that, I like this aspect.

At the moment all the sound is controlled with the Volume Slider, so before moving out the girl in your last move, I recommend you lower the volume a bit. Originally, I thought I had time to also add an options' menu to chance the individual volume of the background music, the girls sounds and L.I.N.A.s voice. I didn't find that time in this week. You're not the first to mention the text speed to me. I thought about that too, but since there is no option menu, I decided to rather go with a version that is too low instead of one that would be too fast. For accessibility reasons.
