How does your game fit the theme?
Solutions to puzzles in our game require that blocks be "joined together" to extend your reach and change your properties. The idea of either joining blocks together or preventing them from joining together is how the puzzles are solved.

Wow this is just a properly good puzzle game. Looks and sounds good, the levels flow together nicely, the new mechanics are introduced at a good pace. Starts straightforward and gets challenging. Awesome job. Literally the only criticism is I wish it auto-restarts when you fall LOLLL

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot! And yeah lol we will definitely add an auto-restart feature to the game in the future, I agree it needs it!

I thought this game would be pretty basic and standard with this concept, but you really ran with it. The puzzles in this game are great, and I'll love to see an actual finished game come from this.

Does need an undo button though.

Developer

Thanks! Glad you liked the puzzles, we had a lot of fun coming up with them. We also do plan on making it a full game with a lot more content!

Also yeah we thought of an undo button but didn't have time to implement it. Definitely will have it for the future though.

This game sticks closely to the theme "joined together" (pun intended :3). Very fun, simple but yet challenging too. Overall this is game feel very simple to learn but yet complex to solve, easy for a new player to learn. I find this game nicely polish within 48 hr.

Fun part

-A lot of level and many ways to explore how to a puzzle. (almost got trick by the red button)


Suggestion for improvement

-Adding "auto restart" after the player dies will greatly improve the user experience, save time pressing "r" again.

- Changing those color squares to a simple Crypto Currency logo (Bitcoin, Ethereum) could enforce the game title "blockchain" as the word would lead the player to think about crypto.

Developer

Thanks for playing! And yeah, we wanted it to be very simple control-wise so it was easy for everyone to just pick up and play, so I'm happy that worked out.

Also I really like your suggestion of an auto-restart feature. I hadn't thought of that before but that makes a lot of sense to add!

Submitted(+1)

That was great. The concept seems super simple at first but you get some really interesting puzzles later on.

One suggestion is to not perform repeated actions when the user holds the movement keys. Quite often I fell off the map. I think having to release the button before being allowed to input another move works better for these kind of grid games.

The game is really good, I think you could make a full version out of it at some point!

Congrats on shipping!

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I will admit that I realized that the movement was a little too fast as I had some of my friends play the game after we submitted it. Will definitely change that for future versions, but thanks for the feedback and I'm happy you liked the concept! We do plan on making it a bigger and more fleshed-out game.

Fun game! This game has the same mechanic as mine but is topdown and grid-based like my previous jam game with similar art and music so I basically can't not like it lol

I really enjoyed the puzzle but my main advice is not even really about the game but you should really upload to WebGL, many more people will play your game if you do

Developer(+1)

Interesting to see you had a similar idea, and I'm happy it was fun!

Also, this is the first game I've actually published and exported from Unity so I wasn't entirely sure how to upload to WebGL. Is it just another build option or do you need to do something else to make it work? Thanks for the suggestion, though, and I'll definitely look into it for future projects!

Submitted(+1)

Yeah, WebGL is just another build option, this video should show how to do it. You also might have to set compression to none in the build setting otherwise it will be stuck on loading forever because of a bug. Only around 5% of the people that play my games actually download them, meaning the other 95% play the WebGL version - it really helps!

Developer(+1)

Oh wow, yeah so I definitely will do that for the next game I make. Thanks so much!

Did you just bait me with this red button that I didnt need to use?! Took me too damn long to figure that one out!!! 

Great work over all! Really solid puzzle game. Nailed the theme of course.  Would love to have you try our game out. 

Developer

Haha yes I knew it would work! We thought of that when we were coming up with puzzle ideas and thought it would be too funny not to add. I'm glad you liked it, and I will definitely check your game out of course!

Really fun puzzle game! I played with it for a bit, and really enjoyed it. 

Developer

Thanks! Glad you liked it :)

Nice game with interesting puzzles, I wish there was an undo button though

Developer

Thanks! And yeah we wanted to add an undo button but ran out of time. Instead we focussed on puzzles and polishing the game over other mechanics.

Hey @FrankAlfano @JoeFerrugio this is one of the most smooth and fun games I have played till now, sound design is also good very great job :D it could be a fun little mobile game.

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much!

Submitted(+1)

This was really fun. I liked the music too. Just wish there was an undo-button.

Developer

Glad you had fun! And yeah, if we had just a couple more hours we probably would have tried to make some sort of undo button. If we develop the game further that would definitely be one of the first things we add.

Honestly, one of the best entries I've played so far. I got stuck on a level and I spent well over an hour trying to beat it. I haven't gotten there yet, but I plan on trying again tomorrow when it's NOT 2:30 AM.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for your feedback! Glad you're enjoying the game!

Haha I believe in you! Thanks for playing!

Interesting mechanic with lots of possibilities. Had fun playing your game, thanks a lot!

Developer

Thanks! We tried to explore the mechanics as best we could with all the puzzles, so I'm glad it was fun!
