Graphics are not great, but it's a neat game with good music.
It's nice to see that I'm not the only one using Game Maker.

This was one of the only games I've played all the way through. Good job on the game play. The graphics (even for pixely) were lacking, but graphics is only s bit of what I rate you on. The music had loads of wrong notes, but I'm not sure if that's intentional or not, because it does create a different mood then some upbeat music done in a major scale. Good job overall!
I really enjoyed it, very intuitive. I liked the graphics because they're heavily stylized. The music was also great for the mood. Is the arrow under the trees there for a reason?
I liked this a lot, played it though till the end with a time of 12:41.
Excellent level design. A few teasing glimpses of the goals here and there kept me motivated to keep exploring and the puzzles were easily understood.
The music gave a stark lonely feeling of being lost and made me connect with my character, I couldn't stop playing until I got the little rectangle home, poor little guy.
Graphics, schmaphics. Non-blocky graphics would have ruined this. It's exactly as it should be.
Well done!
Interesting! The minimalism of the graphics, music and mechanics lent it a very cool transient feel that seemed to clash a bit with the ending to me. The platforming felt too fast at first but I can see how it would be annoying if it was slower. Good work!
Exploring the level is really fun :D, even though the graphics are very low-res it still conveys an interesting varying world.
The ambient piano music fit the mood, but the sounds quality was low(got lots of crackling, possibly a problem on my end though).
Overall a nice game!
Liked how you concentrated on making an easy to understand game rather than tons of graphics and unnecessary complication. It all came together nicely and the exploration aspect was fun.
Enjoyed it, good atmosphere and liked the graphics
Played it through the end, this was really interesting little adventure. The music was nicely smoothing and the maps simple. They could have had perhaps a bit more detail in them, especially the underground maps were pretty empty and repeative. Disregard that, this was really well done, good job!
Also my time was 8:47
Great game! Loved the music xD I like the graphics also but the char needs a bit more detail, a white rectangle is not enough :) also the file was a bit big.. maybe you have unused assets?
No, I don't have unused assets. It's just that the music filesize was absolutely absurd.
Took me around 9 minutes to beat, pretty good maze.
Great! Made it all the way home! Thanks for an awesome game!
Wow, this is great! My favorite entry so far!
Expected more LD games to use this aesthetic honestly, but yours is the first I've seen this time. I'm a total sucker for this minimalist style so I enjoyed it. The collection/switch/key aspects also made it more interesting than similar games which are mostly about exploration. Nice work.
This was really fun. I love your platform game; the game was like a huge cave maze! I love the way you used simple graphics. I like the piano music. There are levers and switches that you must use to destroy the huge blocks.
Nice use of minimalism, both in graphics and sound.
Nice little platformer. I like the minimalistic pixel graphics. Enjoyed playing it.
This was a nice little platformer. It played pretty smoothly despite the discrete inputs, I guess because my guy is pretty small. Fits the theme appropriately. I liked the wandering grain-slowed piano soundtrack. The part with the green dots was a bit aggravating, to have to go back and forth. But I liked the one-way passage; that was a deft surprise. Unfortunately it bit me later: After I get to the beach there are some trees (the screen right after your last screenshot) and it seems that the leaves are solid, and I got stuck inside the middle one because of the same one-way trap. I ain't starting over! :(
Whoops. I should fix that.
Really well done. Loved it. My kind of game.
Good mood, I like how the pixelated graphics bring out the "tiny world" theme. Got a little bored after a while though, but finished the game!
I would try it, but I am on an iMac.
Nice atmosphere and mood. Nice music.
