Cute art style and I like the mechanic. With some more obstacles and variations + difficulty ramping I think this would be a great infinite runner.

In the jam version though I think it might a bit busted :p I can go infinite with relatively little effort by using a block to push me up high enough and then just staying at the height with no other obstacles. I managed to get 20k this way haha

Thank you for your kind words and feedback! We are currently discussing not only to fix the various known issues but to also improve the overall flow and pace of the game a bit once the GMTK GameJam 2021 ends!

Love the art style! I was confused as to what buttons do which as it felt like randomly all the blocks would vanish and I would lose sometimes, I would have appreciated more of a tutorial. Also if there was a chance to raise and lower bob to different levels because I was just making a flat line for it. It looks very polished though. Well done!

Developer

Thank you very much for your kind words and feedback! Every single button will trigger every single TNT currently on screen. Sadly due to the time constraint of the GMTK GameJam 2021 we did not implement any animations or sound for the TNT. We will however add that in once the GMTK GameJam 2021 ends!

We are also currently discussing on how to best introduce the player into the game with the various material types and we will certainly improve that in the near future.

Great presentation, original idea, I'd only say it lacks a little bit of extra teaching at the start, took me a while to understand what I was really doing!

Wow, that gets pretty frantic. I think a little more active tutorial helping the player understand the different block types and functions would help. There were a lot of different block types that seemed functionally the same - don't step on them or it's instead death. The plunger, button, and TNT all seemed the same? It was hard to tell. The graphics and animations are very nice. Music is definitely repetitive, but tows the line between obnoxious and acceptable with minor variations. The simplicity matches the rest of the game though. 

Good job making this in just a few days! Well done!

Thank you very much for your feedback! We are currently considering and discussion on how to achieve a better learning curve to the game by procedurally slowly introducing new material variants.

Each material actually has a different purpose! The buttons trigger all the TNT currently visible, while the TNT by itself does nothing. The TNT simply explodes and destroys adjacent blocks. There are also a few different properties to wether they fall or not without a connection.

Yeah we really need to improve that!

Interesting and hectic score game. It felt a bit like I was just making a line for the character to walk over, it could have been interesting to explore vertical space. The presentation was amazing, and it was easy to understand how to play. This could be a great mini-game!

Developer

Thank you for your kind words! We are glad you liked it. We are currently considering to not only fix all currently known issues but also to improve the general quality of our game after the GMTK GameJam 2021 ends!

Amazing game! The art is really cute and it feels very nice to play. The mechanics are really well thought,  and it gets hectic, which is really nice. Had a great time playing it. Awesome submission!! :D

Love the game! 

Especially how the challenge can switch between the two modes of having so many blocks that you need to keep them out of the path of the player and not having any blocks and having to desperately put any block you find in front of the player. Great dynamic stuff!

However after I got around 30,000 points(I think?) the game game overed me even though nothing was stopping the cube. It almost seemed like the cube was getting slightly behind the screen until it hit a death wall, don't know if that's true of if it was intentional. 

Still though, loved it!

Developer

Thank you very very much for your kind words! It's possible that the pace of BOB is not a 100% right. But you can still push him a bit by placing a block right behind him! 30.000 is the highest score in the comments yet, but still not the overall highest score we've seen!

This is so creative concept and art is so cute i loved the game so much.

Loads of fun, I love the way the game looks. The only issues I had seem to already be recognized and will be addressed in a future version which I am very much looking forward to.

Love the game! The idea is unique, and the game is really fun. 

Just one suggestion, can you make the game faster as the player progresses? I'm not quite sure if that's already implemented or not, because I couldn't get a good score :P

Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much for your kind words and feedback! We actually did intend do implement that exact functionality but sadly due to the time constraint of the GMTK GameJam 2021 we did not finish implementing it. We are however planning on adding it in once the voting for the GMTK GameJam 2021 ends!

This is really fun, Surprisingly tense. Just the way I love it.

I also really love the art, it looks great and so polished.

Here is my high score, Fight me! :P

Developer

Thank you very much for playing our game! That is the highest score so far we have seen in the comments, good job! (But not the highest score yet!)

Nice mechanics of joining the blocks, i also like the pixelart and the music, good work on finishing your game !

Developer

Thanks a lot! We really had to crunch at the end to get it somewhat done! 

Submitted(+1)

The graphics are pretty and the concept really cool. Maybe just add a tutorial part where the player has the time to understand all mechanics one by one. Good job ^^

Developer

Thank you very much for your kind words and feedback! We are actually considering implementing a proper tutorial/introduction into the game after the GMTK GameJam 2021 ends.

really like the gameplay and the art style! the music feels a bit off, but nice work on styling the page!

Developer

Thank you very much for your kind words and checking out our project and project-page! We might consider working on the background music again once the GMTK GameJam 2021 voting ends.

Fun game, great presentation

Cool game with some very cute art style (definitely worth a few cuddles in payment)! Pretty difficult, and could do with some music that isn't just three notes repeated over and over, but good game overall!

5 star fun! The level is so magical. Once I died and restarted, the level is different from the previous one and lots of strange boxes appears.

I loved the pixel art! And the block mechanics were really fun to play around with! Nice work!
