I enjoyed the variety of puzzles ALOT and loved the artstyle and visuals for the game

I have 3 complaints tho:

- When holding an item if it touches the wall, i instantly drop it. That was SOO ANNOYING

- I wish the speed of the character was a bit faster (but as that would probly break alot of the game) maybe we could increase it for a few moments and make it normal whenever we want? so we dont have to just watch him go to the other end of the wall as slowly as possible

- I love the mechanic where u click the bottom box and it makes the character jump really high, but the timing for it felt a but iffy, i get it that if the character is in the centre of the block when u click he gets launched highest, but the timing needs to be perfect and it can get to your nerves sometimes.

Nitpick: More music? As I took alot of time to beat the game, the same music kinda got boring for me xD

But.. I BEAT THE GAME!! And I loved the final boss and the ending

Though Id like to add that the plant level that messed up alot of the other's playthrough couldve been better explained in the game, I initially thought it was just a decoration as it couldnt be interacted with

I didnt get it until I read your tip in the replies!

Overall, I loved the gameplay and the visuals but it punished too harshly for the slightest of mistakes

(Also the comic style starting and ending cutscene was just precious and very well made!)

Right On Track!

Woah, thank you for such detailed review! Addressing the complaints:

1. Dropping an item on contact with the wall was the easiest solution to prevent it from being able to glitch it trough wall so I don't think it will be reworked

2. This is easily fixable, I can add a button that manipulates time speeding it up or just add a button that makes character run faster

3. Making the block launch more stable is possible in theory, but I need to test it on practice. Possible feature of the next update ;)

I'm also really bad at making music and even worse at working with musicians so I mighy add at max 1 more theme

I'll change the plant level a little to make it little easier to understand

Again, thank you so much for such a great review, this not only helps but also motivates to do more and better :D

I liked your artstyle, it reminded me of Pizza Tower.

Good job ! :D

Thank you! I can give you a hint for the plant level: You need the water cooler that is at the end of the room.

Louis "Veuch" VogelSubmitted292 days ago

My dumb ass actually found it and thought it was used for stacking and not for the plant lmaoooo

f.loruiSubmitted292 days ago

couldn't get past the level with the plant (i assume i have to do something with it), but good job on making this !
the music and color palette fit the theme you're going for

i think this guy needs to sit down after all that walking around

Thanks! If you are really stuck I can give you a hint: Plants need water.

f.loruiSubmitted292 days ago

see, my first instinct was to move the plant a bit to the left under the light so it would grow, and once i figured i couldn't pick it up, i forgot to think i could bring something to it instead haha

Great Game! The art style is really well done and the story is very funny. Great use of the prerequisite. The Controls were a bit janky sometimes, but nonetheless I still enjoyed the game.

A game about a funny old man, the controls really fit the theme... The cutscene is interesting, I want to praise it separately. Overall, 8 mental hospitals out of 10

Thank you!

This was really funny and fun to play, I got a few levels in but got stuck on the one that SEEMS like you have to stack a million things up. It’s hard to get them when the camera is moving around from him walking so much.

I did abuse the fact that you can push him though.

Thanks for playing! You just made me realise something. The level you got stuck on was not planned to be for stacking suff, because under all that junk was the flower that helps you jump higher. So since there is so much stuff it just covered the flower and you could not get up. This was not the intended way so I think I need to fix that

Lol there are like 3 or 4 puzzle games I’ve rated so far and I can promise I played at least one section of all of them “wrong”.
