Couldn't actually make it past the second ice puzzle, but what I played was quite good. Great work!
Thanks! Remember, you can shoot yourself while sliding!
Seems like a cool concept. I like the tile mechanics and looping edges. I too got stuck on the second ice puzzle. How to get the box out from against the edge? I tried shooting myself into it.
Very nice game. You weren't kidding when you said that some of the levels at the end were hard! I made it to the Fin! Yay! The level designs were challenging and fun. I also felt the music and sound effects fit the game nicely. Good job!
Didn't run on Win 7 32-bit, error:
"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."
Thanks tequibo, I'll publish a 32 bit version for people on 32 bit systems.
Can't actually play the game, but the soundtrack is awesome, and I can give you a 4/5 for actually making one.
"if you press space you can shoot yourself" Jesus D:
I couldn't get it to run
I ran the batch file and tried the exe but it says it isn't compatible with my windows, it's not designed for a x64 is it? as mine's x86
Yeah, sorry everyone about it not working in 32 bit systems. When it was written it was made for x64, I read that you should use x32 anyways. Until I can get the packaging to work properly, if you want to play it, a manual install of python and pygame for 32 bit is necessary.
Best rating I've given so far; this was tons of fun! Very devious and clever puzzles! It also has a nice polished feel to it; can definitely tell you put some time into this. Thanks for sharing your game!
Nice game! Was fun to play. The winning sound reminded me of my first mobile phone (Which is still my only one btw :D )
Nice game but I was locked as a rocket: http://i.imgur.com/2eUOQ.png
Very good level design and great job on trying to twist a bit usual puzzle mechanics.
Tough! But really well made. I enjoyed it a lot.
Dax, you can press R to restart the level and transform yourself back into human form!
Amazing I love every bit of it! Very Fun And Challenging.

Tried to make my way through the whole game but unfortunately got stuck on the level with the single strand of ice that runs from left to right. Simple yet effective graphics, good music, well thought out puzzles. Overall pretty good! Great work for your first dare :D
Doesn't run for me on Ubuntu (32 bit). No idea why. When I run python tinyboxes.py it just hangs. No traceback or anything. I have to kill -9 it. Sorry! :-/
Sorry cosmo. I'm assuming you have pygame installed. I have never heard of Ubuntu either. I looked it up and it looks like its Unix distribution. There is a pygame download here http://pygame.org/download.shtml is pygame isn't installed.
The levels ramp up a bit too fast in difficulty and it's not really explained when you need to use new mechanics to pass a level. Other than that... the sound was good, really nice art-style and game idea :)
lots of good content here. i got stuck in an infinite loop on the second level, got boxes pinned in corners or against walls a lot too. a 'restart level' option would be great. download/install process was a bit much. would be nice to get it all in a single exe or as a web game. nice music! not quite sure how it relates to the theme :P. nice job!
+ nice tile based puzzle game
+ very nice tune
+ clean, functional graphics
Nice job.
Very nice puzzle game with some challenging puzzles. Great job!
Not bad, I really like the use of screen warp, it makes you have to think. Overall great game. Also I like that you included the soundtrack :)
Cool puzzles! Well done!
Neat puzzles, nice soundtrack! I had some fun shooting myself endlessly on the level with the band of ice.
This was a lot of fun! Very simple, but the level design and the introduction of new concepts into each level was well done and kept me interested. The only trouble I could really find were minor quirks: Sometimes shooting myself into an infinite loop, getting the timing right on the crate tricks later on and wishing I had a reset button other than going back to the title screen each time. Great job!
I Love the music and the mechanic. Cool game :)
Nice! Too bad the last teleporter in the stage with lot of them stopped working for me. Oh well, really nice and well done concept, this was fun to play, good job!
Interesting... unfortunately it doesn't work on my mac.
I listened to the soundtrack but I probably shouldn't rate the sound without playing the game too, so no ratings from me!
Very nice game. Good graphics and audio. I liked the puzzles and thought the difficulty progression was pretty smooth.
Nice little puzzler. Sokoban with some nice little extra touches to it. I am impressed by the amount of levels for a 48h game.
Fun puzzle game, but a stretch for the theme!
I'd love to play this, but I have no Windows machines at home. (Mac here)
I can't play your game because I don't have Windows. Perhaps another member of my team will find and rate your game.

I had to edit a few lines in tinyboxes.py to get it to run on linux. But after that the game worked just fine.
I wish the shooting mechanics was used for more things than just sliding though (and racing against the clock). Some of the later levels were a bit annoying because of the restarts needed when making a mistake.
The music is a little bit annoying and I don't see the connection to the theme, but otherwise a great game.
I'm not into puzzle games but I quite liked this one. Nice graphics and music and the first 4 puzzles where easy enough for me :-)
Pretty nice game, impressive diversity in the levels. Kept me surprised with new challenges so it never got boring.
Pretty clever puzzler. Challenging, well done for a first LD. Why did you choose left hand controls as a default?
The music became a little annoying after some while.
