very unexpected! Some out of the box thinking required in a lot of these puzzles - maybe a bit too out of the box to figure out that exiting the screen on the right brings the flag through the door in the top left. Gliding is a bit funky. But overall super clever levels :)

Fun game with an interesting mechanic. I struggled but started to click. Clever level design..You should make an updated version with your own assets though..Give it your vision on an original idea.

The twist got me right out of the gate lol. I thought my controls were'nt working until I realized the trick of who you were actually controlling :) Good submission, neat level design. Definitely good for a solo project.

I was definitely not expecting that. It's really polished and you have some really cool mechanics. It's funny how removing jumping allows for so many puzzle opportunities. All of the aspects were simple to learn and allowed for great puzzles - both are things I struggle with when creating a puzzle game. Very impressive!

Thank you for the wonderful comment. Hopefully one day you will master the skills that you currently struggle with.

Have a good day!

This is pretty neat! I think that maybe the level design could be a bit better, but even what y'all have now is super fun. My favorite part was the sliding :P

AkuziDeveloper5 years ago

Hehe much to be improved on level design but im glad you love something about the game XD

The game was definitely unexpected. I like playing it, but was a little confused here in there. Probably my puzzling skills haha. Cool little game. Maybe create your own art and work on some of the controls. All in all nice game!

Oh yes would love to learn to make my own art. Will slowly pick up that skill and apply it into my own game.

Anyways thanks for playing the game!

I thought that the unexpected bit was very clever, I was definitely a bit shocked :). I thought the puzzles you created were well put together - but I agree with Purple Dragoon that the gliding was a little bit difficult. That said - I thought the game was a lot of fun! Great job!

Happy to see you enjoyed playing.

Yeah it might be a bit too hard for new players. Will take note on this.

Appreciate the feedback ^^

Purple DragoonSubmitted5 years ago(+1)

The character you control was very unexpected ! Good mix of strategy and skill. But the gliding was quite difficult and hard to use.
