Love the theme and execution. A really good game, everything feels right. Very well done <3

Hey mate, thanks for playing the game and for your kind words! Much appreciated.

Really original puzzle game!
Not sure I ever saw a "Sokoban" game like this before.

I'm stuck at level 10, I'm missing one yell. I could probably summon an old boss of mine for that one (yikes)!

Very cool art style and color palette. I will revisit that to finish it for sure!
Good job on the submission

Developer

Thanks for the great feedback SuperMegaDav, much appreciated. Super Pocketship looks like a load of fun too and I'm looking forward to playing it!

Super cool ! I still haven't figure out from the level 10, but is really well done and smooth, I love playing it !

Hey Horace, thanks mate! I hope you were able to solve level 10 :P (it does get a bit harder after that too!). Looking forward to playing your game, the title has sold me already.

Really good puzzler, challenging but not too hard, graphics are cute and simplistic and I like the concept of a angry boss yelling at others to crunch.

G'day Lynx, I'm happy it was a good difficulty level for you, getting that right is really tricky. Appreciate you playing and leaving a comment, cheers.

Really nice game! Reminds me of a Sokoban game I used to play on one of these old Siemens phones with an amber backlight, but better-looking.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm back to satisfy my crunch boss...

Cheers Daniel, it's such a classic concept but for me the puzzles just never get old! Thanks for playing, I will hopefully get around to yours soon :)

I really really enjoyed this game! Lots of interesting puzzles that kept me thinking for a while, i'll try to play it again later to see if i can beat all the levels! graphics and music are nice and help to focus on solving the levels! Overall, lots of fun.

Wow may be one of my favorites! This is a really funny concept for a videogame xD. I LOVE your color palette and minimalistic aesthetic, props to your for being one of the few who didn't break my eardrums xD. Congrats!

Developer(+1)

Hey Cro_bat, very much appreciate you giving Crunch Boss a go. My colour palette changed a few times but once I tried this one I knew it was right! I might try your game towards the end, I'm known to get a bit obsessed with clicker games and I have a lot to play haha, thanks again :P

Awesome work on this man. Puzzles were well designed and you really explored this mechanic greatly with each level. I absolutely love the aesthetic as well. The SFX was nice and crunchy and the music is stuck in my head now lol. Well done overall

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the great review Bad Piggy! I really wasn't expecting that people would like the music, so I'm glad you enjoyed it (although if it's stuck in your head you might not be enjoying it so much haha). I enjoyed seeing your progress on Teleportank during the jam and I'm looking forward to giving it a shot. Thanks again :)

What a delightful and tricky puzzle game. The satire is great, the puzzles are indeed brain-bending. The addition of the diagonal yell broke my brain. Each level gets harder and upper management is going to have a word with me on the skips...

The aesthetics are nice, the percussive music is minimal but it reinforces the corporate office doldrums.

I wish I was better at it, it is conceptually fairly simple but the complexity quickly increases with more chairs to fill. Puzzle design displayed here is way beyond me and very impressive.

Developer

Wow this is a great review! Thanks so much for playing through, jonah. Very keen to give Terrific Tennis a try soon!

Elegant puzzle design. Some gave me that HECK YEAH moment you gotta play puzzle games for

Developer

Cheers Matt, much appreciate you playing through and persevering to the final level!

Very clever puzzle game. I made it up to level 8, I need to revisit this earlier in the day. 

Nice presentation, nicely tutorialized mechanics. Good job!

Developer

Thanks so much for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Smoothing out the difficulty ramp is something I didn't get a chance to do so it gets tricky real quick! I've added Crazy Space Taxi to my To Play list, cheers!
