I think I'm rating number 50 - quite a privilege :) The general thinking is that downloadable games dont get very many ratings but you're is just racking them up and I think that in itself is a testament to just how good this little project of yours is. The mechanic itself is quite beautifully simplistic and allows you some great extensibility for levels, which is very creative and great for creating loads of iterative challenge and fun. The aesthetics are obviously awesome - its just a pretty environment with perfectly balanced colors and of course it nails the theme. I liked the control over the character - took me a minute to get used to movement with the camera movement as well but after that it felt responsive and very natural. I've played several games this jam that are 3D and really struggle to get the movement down, but you managed it here really well. As you know from playing my games, I like puzzle games too, and as such I can definitely appreciate the thinking that's required to solve each level as it progresses to something slightly more difficult than the last - I'm 100% aligned to that 'methodology' for level creation on puzzle games. I dont say this lightly - this was one of my favourite games. Maybe favourite. Definitely top 2 or 3 for sure. Really great work and well done.
It is cool to get a review from someone who also makes puzzles, as we have similar game design and development struggles. Therefore I am really glad you enjoyed the game and the mechanics of Pixel. Movement was increased a lot due to playtesting and wanting to zoom around, haha. Speed and fun over slow precision seems like what everyone likes about the game. I spend a lot of time uh.. "playtesting" the driving mechanics of the game myself.
Yeah, my #50! I really appreciate all the reviews. As a first game and jam, I was not expecting people to give me so much of their time and play my game. I am really pleased with the engagement and the comments I have received, thus giving me a clear direction on improvement and further development of the game.
Top 2 or 3 is already great honour coming from a quality puzzle dev, so thank you for taking the time to enjoy my game!
