So fun!

Thank you :)

Absolutely one of the best games i've played this game jam!  I can't praise this game highly enough, for me the staple of a great puzzle game is where you get that lightbulb moment where it all clicks and let me tell you, it happened more than once here.  I never got that feeling that the game was being unfair with a solution that seemed too complicated.

Wow thanks so much!! :)

Thanks for sharing it with me on stream, had a lot of fun playing through it, some very clever puzzles!

Developer(+2)

Thanks so much :)

Ok this is fun! I had to pull myself away so I could rate/review and play other games lol

But the puzzles are just hard enough to be interesting but not so hard that I'm completely stumped, and the music is super chill and just :D

Also the art is really nice, too!

Thanks so much :)

Very polished and fun to play! A lot of clever game design things like using the skeleton to help introduce the left and right edges being joined together. The visuals and music fit well and the theme of the minotaur in the maze is on point as well!

I did the last level using an "advanced" technique of swapping tiles midair; curious if this was the intended solution or if there was a simpler solution that I missed.

Developer(+2)

Thanks for the great comment! You can complete the last level without the midair jump, but we fully intended it to be a secret option for those who discover it. We'll most likely teach the midair jump as a proper technique in future levels.

Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed! Big fan of your puzzle games.

Very fun! Congratulations on the game.

I just didn't understand the connection with the theme of the jam, but I thought it was a great game.

Sensational art, excellent music sticks in the head like gum, very good gameplay and very well polished. I only found a bug that was when I clicked to go to the next room in the room "The end" (by the way, excellent idea in this room). Overall excellent game! Good job!

Developer(+2)

Thanks for the kind words! Will look into that bug you found. Thanks a bunch!

Worst game ever. Made me look like an idiot. 5 Stars

Developer(+2)

Worst comment ever. Makes our game look stupid.

But seriously, thanks for playing on stream and all the love. You rock <3

A really cool concept, I loved playing with it!

It really feels a complete game. Good job!

aslo...

I really love the music! <3

This was definitely fun and engaging. levels were well scrambled and thought out. Great job!

I would have liked the space bar as an alternative option to jump if you ever get to updating it but wasn't really a huge deal.

Submitted(+1)

I love the cute avatar, the music, and the puzzle idea/mechanics! Good job!

Submitted(+1)

Amazon implementation of the concept and mechanics. Absolutely astonishing visuals. Absolutely nothing to complain about. Good Job!

Submitted(+1)

Really a beautiful game, incredible feel, and the levels are so well designed!

Submitted(+1)

This is amazingly neat! Love the art, love the mechanics, the whole thing. Really impressive work!

This is Awesome! I have never played a platformer where you can move the world like this :) Game feel is pretty good too (Things like the screenshake when you move a piece adds a lot to the experience).

Any idea how you have gotten 268 ratings? :)

Submitted(+2)

They were winners of the previous jam 😋 https://kiraroci.itch.io/between-a-clock-and-a-hard-place

Would make it this time too! So people have followed these guys on itch.io last year from that game and these people rated this game too?

any tips to get more ratings for this? :)

Submitted(+1)

You won't be able to get to their level for sure, we can only try again year after year.

Really beautiful game you have there! It looks really well done, impressive 3D, colours and chain physics. Maybe what's not getting people to try it is that the gameplay doesn't seem so attractive. 
If you want to check out basically the opposite example, see my game. 😋 It's missing artwork and smooth physics but it's designed around the juicy "feel" of playing the game. (I wanted to play your game but I don't have windows!) :(

Wow! How did they promote to people on itch? 
Yeah if the game comes to most voted or popular pages, it will take off i think.

Developer

we mainly promoted on twitch, joining streams and stuff. it's  fun too, because you get to see all the other games while yours is on the list. i've played a lot of good games that i've seen on stream that i might not have seen if i hadn't joined that stream.

Amazing concept and polish. Very well done! Perhaps worth investigating doing a keyboard/ controller only mode for ease of play, and might want to add fullscreen to the Windows version. But apart from that it was great fun!

Submitted(+1)

The polish on this game is gorgeous ! Could totally be released as a full game with some furthermore dev. Great job !

Developer

Thank you! We're thinking of adding to it post jam.
