Really fun game! Quite a bit hard to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's really great!

Super fun! If you make the game look better this could be amazing!

Nice game, really fun! Love the aesthetics, it's  simple but works great. Good work!

little tiny game ! loved the tiny cube following the orange dragged box , keep it up! -Ivory-

The real out of control for this game is when your orange box got stuck outside of the screen :'( However, this is still a fun little game. Good approach to level design! The game progressively got more difficult in later level. Few tips I would have are to make the collision box a bit more lenient, since it was a bit harsh sometime. A reset button would also fix the orange box stuck outside problem. Overall, this is a solid, fun game. Great job!

A nice take on the theme. Some interesting puzzles with a nice difficulty curve :) A bit of visual polish once the jam is over could make this something really great!

Really fun little game and cool approach to the theme. Definitely one of my favorite games of the jam! (I would really appreciate it, if you would check out my submission!)

Very fun game, could easily see some polish and making it to a nice puzzle game. My only advice is the color choice for the background and the color for the black walls, can be hard to see for some.

I like this.It's a unique and fun game with cool concept. I know it's a very difficult thing to polish in 48 hours. Could be a really amazing game if you polish it after the jam.

Nicely done! The levels eventually got a little too tough for me, but I had a blast one the ones I could beat!

Developer(+1)

thx :D ! your game is far more well done

Submitted

I like this concept! I also loved the music - I see it wasn't made in the 48 hours, but did you write it?

Developer

what? the music? not actually

needing to click and drag the block feels a bit unnecessary, but the levels are designed ok.

Well, when i clicked start game on itch and immidiatelly the game started, whitout a menù or a tutorial an what to do, letting me die over and over until i figured out the controls... Also "click" is ambiguos, change it with "left mouse click". 

With more polish i'd see this game as a fun game, but for it his rn i just can't say that... i'm sorry... 🙁

Dont worry! ill post an update at the end of the jam!

This is a pretty fun game, I love the presentation, the audio and graphics are simplistic but nice! Definitely needs some extra polish, but I guess all game jam games do... Also a great approach to tutorials, you let the player find out what everything does instead of explicitly telling them which I always respect. Great work here!

This is a nice game, though a bit rough around the edges. I like that the orange cube kills the player, as it means the player would need to be constantly on their toes. The level design is good, too. 

If there's one thing I'd want to be improved on, it would be to make the screen slightly larger than the stage itself, so the player has space to move the orange box, instead of the orange box instantly jumping from one spot to another. Another way would be to have the orange box collide with the edges of the screen, so the orange box would stay in screen, even when the mouse position is out of screen.

Developer

Thx! ill keep that in mind (and the orange box collide is fixed, update coming after the voting ends)

Nice job! It's a very cute entry and I liked the extent of the simple gameplay and the nice graphics! Well done. :D

Submitted(+1)

Very clever idea, I like how you managed to add some puzzles to a very simple mechanic. Maybe some faster rotation for the blue cube could help in tight rounds.

Submitted(+1)

I also think it's hard! :) I really like the name! Some ideas for improvement:

  • Slower movement speed should make it a bit more forgiving.
  • Constrain the mouse pointer to the game window.
Submitted

The game is very good, a really nice idea, simple but effective presentation. The hitboxes are really unforgiving though. Nice but pretty hard experience.

Submitted

This is a really nice game, I really like the Idea and it could easelly be expanded upon
