I enjoyed this game! The info you put in the help gave me what I needed to know, and I enjoyed using a combination of movement, jumping, and manipulation of the mouse. I did experience some weirdness with the physics when moving the boxes - maybe adding a bit more mass to them?
This is so far the best I've played so far! The platforming mechanics as well as the cursor implementation are done very well. As someone said before you can exploit the box manipulation to float around, but I think a simple fix for that could be to make the objects not interactable with the player while they are being dragged, but that's a very minor problem. The puzzles to solve were done very well and felt very satisfying to complete. The gravity mechanics were genius! The only gripe I had with the game was that I could not figure out how to properly complete the first level, I would grab the first jewel off to the left and then the level would end itself. It did not hinder my progress at all, but I figured it was worth mentioning.
I had a great time playing your game. That being said I kinda just sat on a box and flew myself through the levels which is probably unintended and something that shouldn't be possible but was quite fun doing nonetheless.
The game is really good!, I really liked the music you added, it really gave the game more personality! The game play is very smooth and fun to play as well. The physics were a bit wonky sometimes and it did making a jump hard but all in all this was really good!
I really enjoy this game; it's very engaging to play. Moving the box and the interaction is a lot of fun. However, I noticed that you can cheat by keeping one box with you the whole time and keep moving with it in mid-air. Also, resetting the game makes all the coins reappear, allowing you to double your score within the level.
Great game! It was fun and engaging to play. The box element was enjoyable and challenging at times with the axis turn. I enjoyed the sliding doors in Level Two. When you restart a level, the coins reappear and keeps your coin score from the previous attempt.
This game was really fun and I enjoyed the music and sound effects. The gameplay was very well done, I think it looks pretty polished! I liked the colors you used and the hat on the capsule made the player feel unique and not just like a random shape. The way the physics worked could be frustrating but it was never to the point of quitting, Overall, I really enjoyed the game. Great job and have a great summer!
I really enjoy your game! The SFX and BGM are both great, and add character to the levels, although I do wish the menu had some as well. I also love the player character's little hat! Your mechanics are interesting, and I especially like how you used foreground and background platforming design. The only thing possibly worth considering is that physics objects can be used to move the player character, allowing portions of levels to be skipped. Have a great summer!
