I think yours maybe broken. I can't play it. It's just a black screen.

drkrunk: i embedded it with js so i think it should be working now?
realoading also seems to help =)

The level with the downfalling elements seems to be broken after restart - but yeah: Very relaxing and minimalistic game. :)

Nice logic game, i like the minimalistic graphics, thou some explanation what each block does would be helpful!

Very nicely done! One of the most chill games I've played. It would have been nice to have a rough idea what the pieces did before playing the level. Also, my 's' button quit working in the game after a restart.

Hi, you should add arrow keys as alternative controls, those of us with different keyboard layout (AZERTY instead of QWERTY) can't play the game easily.
Liked it anyway, nice atmosphere.

Really nice puzzle game! I actually like the art in the game it is charming =A

Really nice puzzler! My only critisism is that the shapes aren't very self explanatory. 5 for innovation!

Nice platformer. Interesting mechanics. Great job.

I like what you did with this game.

The falling sparks (or what those are) adds something nice to the mood of the game.

The music instrument sounds good and I like the melody. I wish it was longer, for more variation (while still being minimalistic).

It would have been nice with some text explaining the various elements along the way but it was not hard to figure out what was going on by trying and failing.

Pretty cool game! :)

I was into the game with the first notes I heard, though they got repetitive after a while. I picked up the idea after a few seconds, as I have seen this game mechanic before, but adding some instructions would definitely help. Fits a lot into the theme, perfect execution and good puzzle progression. Well done!

Wonderful, relaxing puzzler. I could lose some time with this game. Great job!

Not a bad puzzle-platformer. One thing I noticed is the little person double-jumps into the upper space beyond the ceiling often. I liked the different effects and the gradual learning curve. It felt good.

I can't access your web page. I'll check again later.

Very cool puzzle game, the graphics are really nice actually and the sound is good. When I got to the level with the two triforces though, it's impossible to beat :/
I really liked it though.

oye-beto 2013-05-02 04:29

I won :)
It' a good puzzle, it entertained me enough to finish it.

edocentrique 2013-05-02 18:13

Very nice !

taylorlunt 2013-05-02 18:37

Interesting puzzle game, although some glitches made it hard to play.

tankete 2013-05-04 08:40

Wow! I really liked it. Loved the simplicity of the look and controls. The music worked well. And the introduction of new elements came at the perfect pace.

Well done!

lorancou 2013-05-10 11:20

Oh, looks like there's no ending, I just looped back to level one :) Good puzzle game, a few bugs sometimes but nothing that really blocks progression. Congratz!

aymes 2013-05-10 11:52

Wow, enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would! These kind of puzzles always appeal to me though :)

Nicely thought out and fits the theme well, good stuff!

ashdnazg 2013-05-10 13:06

Nice, simple and challenging!
Well done :)

lasergans 2013-05-10 13:33

Cute, innovative, minimalistic, varying - simply fun :)

Very awesome concept and really fun game. Really liked the puzzles and having to learn from trial and error what each new object did.
