This game was really interesting, I loved how you used the limitation. Great job!

Fun game! Really creative use of the limitation

Submitted

Great use of limitation. It has really great potential . Althought it is a bit buggy. I get stuck when a block fall and stack right into me

Developer

Thanks! Collision with the score is a little weird overall, but I fixed this instance at least, so blocks should collide properly with the player.

I really enjoyed it! There's a lot of potential in this concept for some really interesting puzzles, but the physics in this felt a bit unpredictable

Submitted

Cool little action puzzle game, I like this a lot. The music seems appropriately icy as well.

Submitted

Amazing, loved the concept

Submitted

Hah- very cute puzzler with some cool ideas.

Submitted

great game!  The art is well made and the gameplay mechanics is  simple and straightforward, the score was interpreted as an object which is appropriate with the limitation, overall I enjoyed playing this one! keep it up!

A unique approach to the limitation indeed. I Didn't have difficulty with the spring, but in the final level, the other block was being converted into float mode and had to restart a couple of times. It happens when you are holding (3) and jump on (2). (2) gets converted.


Aside from that, this is a very cool game with neat mechanics and unique concept.  Well done.

The (2) block's ability is to copy the last one it touched. Maybe it could use an easier level to introduce the mechanic, so players know to be careful with it on the harder level and not get stuck. Thanks for playing!

Awesome. Played it all the way to the end and really enjoyed it. Great use of the limitation and the puzzles are really well balanced. Just the right amount of difficulty without being frustrating.

This is a really neat way to use the limitation! I appreciate how the art is minimal and effective, with a cute color scheme. Thank you, it inspires some creativity.

Cool concept, really makes use of the limitation. Well done!

This is a great concept. I enjoyed some levels for a longer time. A lot of replayability because it sometimes takes some tries to figure out, how the levels work. Totally fell in love with that carrying-your-score-around concept. And then with that mechanics? That Level Design? Jeez, Dudes. That was a really great job! Props to you!

Submitted

Wow, what an outstanding submission! The puzzles were so thought-provoking and challenging, I loved it! The execution of platformer block mechanics combined with scores and abilities was done so well. Like many others, I did have some issues with the spring level but I eventually figured it out. Keep up the great work! The limitations you had to work with were executed perfectly.

I really like the concept and use of the limitation, how it controlled could be improved but thats about the extent of my issues with it

great job

The top competitor so far for use of the limitation.
