Just goes to show you can make a good game with squares! The difficulty curve was great and the level design is well done. I like how you introduced things slowly and that the timing on everything got tricky. Good job overall!

Love the nice crunchy sound effects in the game, and sliding is appropriately fast. The clean and simple art style reminds me of the good ol flash games of the day, and that's not a bad thing! This game would be awesome on mobile. Good work!

Appreciate it :)

The flash games vibe was exactly what I was going for, growing up with them is something that really influences the type of games I make.

I'm currently working on a mobile port for iOS & Android along with adding more levels to the roster.

fun puzzles!

i wish there was some music in the background that would have been cool

if i could change thing it would be to have checkpoints. like once you get the key that opens the wall, if you die, you restart from where you got the key. you've already proven you could get the key, now you just have to get the gold

good job tho!

Thank you for the feedback!

Unfortunately I ran out of time with adding music, but it's something I'm currently working on along with mobile support.

I'm not sure that checkpoints fit with the levels being very compact and short. If I were to do bigger levels than I might think of it as a viable option, or maybe be something that the player could toggle in the settings as some sort of "assist mode".

Quite enjoyable but yet ever so slightly frustrating puzzles near the end, meeting what I believe are the two requirements to make a good puzzle game. Great job!

Thank you very much! I also got that feeling when I was play-testing so I think that's perfect :)
