Very fun although the puzzles can be tedious, also, there's a delay in the player jump.

Developer

thanks for the feedback!

Actually, it was a chrome issue. For some reason, on google chrome, I simply jump higher and the game runs at a lower frame-rate. Playing through this game on a different browser, it's AWESOME! Super geometric, awesome puzzle-action levels, and good control!

Thanks a lot! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)

Unfortunately, level 2/10 (the one with the spiked ceiling) seems to be impossible. No mater what side I pick, I hit the spiked ceiling. I think it might be an issue with low framerate, because the school potato I'm running this on runs this at about 10 fps. I'll play this again and leave a more proper review when I get home and can play this on my actual computer.

Really nice take on the theme! I really like everything no complaints other than what I heard from some others is that I was confused between the hexagon side and the circle side. Other than that really good job!

Developer

Yes, a couple of people have mentioned that! I'll definitely change the hexagon side to a square post-jam. Thanks!

Really nice concept!

Developer

thanks a lot :)

So many mechanic, the game doesn't get a chance to be boring XD

You did an amazing job with the level design and the background music,

although I would rather it continue playing when starting a new level and not start from the beginning since it is feeling repetitive that way

Overall a very solid game, well done!

Developer

thank you!

Very solid, clever game. Love the mechanics, and the graphics and sound aren't bad either! I love the sound effects of stabbing stuff, and hooking onto the buttons, they're really great.

While the gameplay is really good, there are a few things I feel could be improved:

  • I'd prefer Space as a jump button instead of Up/W
  • A few levels ask for fairly precise movement, but that's hard to get due to the lack of a variable jump height, and the player sliding off of platforms.
  • A lot of the levels that require timing are very strict - Level 10 in particular is tight enough that I kept losing because the enemy bounced off while the block was fading away.
  • The hexagon side of the puzzle piece is too similar to the round side, and  I kept getting stuck on one level due to thinking the hex button was the round one. Maybe try a different shape?

Despite that, the game was still a lot of fun, and I like how there were achievements for replayability. It's a very good game overall, and it'd only get better with more levels and mechanics.

Thank you so much for such thorough feedback!
It’s literally a matter of seconds to add space as another jump, don’t know why I didn’t just add it as an option. 
Variable jump height has been mentioned a few times and I’ll definitely add that first thing post-jam.

Lowering the friction and time restraint of some levels is an excellent idea too.

I’m not sure why I went with a hexagon instead of like…a square? I guess I just like hexagons. Anyway that’s a really good point as well.

One of my personal favorite mechanics was the enemies that could press the buttons. That opened a lot of possibilities.

Thank you once again for such thoughtful feedback, it is very much appreciated.
