I really liked the premise of this. Unfortunately it was kinda hard to gauge some of the jumps which makes you die a lot if you´re n idiot like me. Also get somewhat repetitive if you have to place blocks over and over before you can finish a level.

I win! I thought the last level was a repeat of a previous one, but it was a trick aha. I'm glad that you could move onto objects from others that were slightly lower, I was worried that you had to perfectly line things up. 

Good job:)

Its bit stupid quastion but what should i make and what do you like i dont want to just use this puzzle mechanic, also im gonna change music and when you die its not gonna restart the level anymore, its just gonna make you spawn again 🩵🩵🩵

I definitely liked the style of it for sure, but I'll be honest not sure what to add next. If you're unsure you obviously don't need to expand the game right away, you could use the time to try other projects and come back later! Music is always a good addition, and sound effects as well.

If you make it not restart the level, make sure the player can restart easily in case they get stuck. 
If you can find a way to add an extra twist to it, like idk maybe later on the player gets the power to make the bricks they placed fall out of the air, something that adds on to the existing mechanic could be cool. 

Ultimately up to you and what you want to invest your time into

Thank you🩵🩵🩵

Game had massive lag at some points for seemingly no reason. The music loop was very jarring, I would suggest adding some kind of fade to the start of your music for like, a quarter to half a second to stop it being jarring every time you loop.

I like the idea, however I feel like I've seen it done better elsewhere unfortunately, it's just a bit too finnicky to control and death planes are rather difficult to judge at times. However it still works as a puzzle platformer.

Developer

Im happy you liked my game, sorry about the annoying music problem i dont have music artist so i just used one music fiting the theme from freesounds, also sory about optimization problems too, thank youuu🩵🩵

very nice art style! I got the same failed to extract specific dll’s error, but the game ran anyway! unsure how that changed the game, though. gameplay was fun, but resetting my builds when i died felt quite punishing and I did not complete level 3. I thought the mechanic was quite interesting, however :)

Developer (1 edit)

I guess the error is about hte sound files, its bit common unreal error when you convert to a zip file, have you heard any musics 

Developer

thank youuuuuu🩵

Submitted

Somehow managed to run the game after 3 failed attempts at extracting the zip file.

The game is quite simple and short. The use of 3D and the art style + music made the game feels very different from the original. Slightly more challenging than the original too.

Developer

Thank youuu, 🩵🩵

Submitted

Unplayable, sorry :/

Developer

can you send me what exactly happend for me to solve plsss

Submitted

I'm on Windows PC if that matters. Tried both windows built in extract and 7zip and couldn't get it to work.

Hopefully something from this info is helpful to you, and best of luck!

  • Attempted to extract .zip using built in "Extract All". 
    • Failed due to Windows Error: 0x80004005: Unspecified error
    • Issue occurred when windows attempted to copy dbghelp.dll
  • Attempted to extract using 7zip
    • Encountered errors during extraction. The "reeve.exe" crashes when ran
Developer
