Great art style, interesting and challenging game play. The spikes could be more visible, was a little confused the first time i died. Shame about the music.

Love it, simple and fun.
I really liked the art and the design was clever! Nicely done!
@Piat Thank you! And yeah the spikes are kinda minimalistic haha, sorry about that. Thanks for the play/comment!
@Kruithne Thanks!
i like it), very cool art
Very nice, I got to the third level, it got pretty difficult trying to place blocks while jumping long distance (felt like the distance to jump was too long underneath on of those islands).
Thank you all for the positive feedback!
@aeveis It is challenging but I promise it's doable haha. I originally wanted to implement some more elements to be able to make it more of a puzzler rather than just a tech-skill game, but time was running short during level design so I had to make it challenging somehow!
Simple and fun but the spikes are so similar with the grass.
I love your art! :D
Nice, I really enjoyed it! :-) Sometimes I died because of spikes - making them more visible || letting the player see his "grave" for few seconds would be great.. But overall it's nice and polished.
Great game, one improvement I could see though is to add a checkpoint system so that when the player dies at a certain challenge they can easily get back to it without having to cross the whole level again, but apart from that a great title.
Cool! I liked the block placing mechanic alot. I wished the spikes were a bit more obvious and the jumping mechanic could definitely have been tweaked to be a bit more fun.
Very solid entry. One of the best.
Wow! I really like the idea here. The art too -- I've seen a lot of entries with simple black and white art but it really looks nice here. The gameplay reminds me of minecraft, actually, except you can only place one block at a time, lol. A little frustrating as it is, but some real potential.
Great art, and really nice gameplay.
This is frustratingly hard. This is annoyingly hard. WAYYYY TOOO FUCKING HARDDDD!
Its too bad I have to rate it well because it makes me want to strangle whoever programmed this!
@vanaficionado Mission accomplished!
Thank you all for the feedback, both positive and negative, it is much appreciated! Sorry, I know the difficulty is pretty up there...can't say it wasn't intentional though ;)
Very nice, love it!
Looks good, plays smoothly, well done. Good theme too!
Awesome style and very creative controls! Fun to play!
Good puzzle game! Funny!
Loved the mechanic. It was fun attempting to figure out the best method for making the distances. Solid controls.
Stylish art, and simple but fun gameplay. The third level is tricky!
Very well executed concept!! Liked this one!
I liked this game. It had solid gameplay and I liked the graphics also. I'm not too good at these sort of things so I gave up after the first save point (?). Still great game.
Nice game! realy tricky, just the way I like it. graphics are beauteful and machanic is creative and fun, but could have used more puzzelish levels to get the most out of it.
tied with one fork dinner for best polish I've seen so far.
verdict: added it to my games folder right away!
The art is really good. I know these games are rushed, but I wished there was ambient noise or music of some sort to match the visuals.
This game needs more ratings! Perhaps ditch the .jar and go for something web enabled next time? Aside from that - excellent art direction and I enjoy the block mechanic. Great work!
Nice mechanic, cool with the theme, good graphical presentation, minimalistic but effective sounds. Likesy!
Great art and idea !
This makes an awesome puzzle game!
But am I not supposed to be able to place blocks while in air? I got really stuck at the place where I am standing on a block before spikes and have nowhere to jump without placing a block while jumping..
@theholychicken Thank you! Try jumping and placing a block while you're in midair, cool things might happen :)
Interesting mechanic you have going here. too bad you couldn't get music because that would have risen your game to new heights!
interesting game. sort of reminds me of 'blocks that matter'. well presented.
Quite a lot of different scenarios from the main mechanic, nice job utilizing the potential of the idea with the level design instead of just throwing it out there.
Lovely art style. The music didn't work for me but I extracted it from the .jar and played it on loop in Windows Media Player. (I also took a quick look at the code, as I used libgdx too, but I couldn't see any reason why the music shouldn't play! The only difference I have is I use .ogg files, and I've not yet tried adjusting my music volume in code. weird :s )
I beat the all three levels with 52 deaths - most of which were me trying to start level 3 by going right onto the only platforms I could see! :)
A fine game, well done!
Really good puzzler. Nice graphic style. The theme usage is a great idea too. The mechanics are simple but give a lot of scope for puzzle solving, well done!
@Dry Tree You're an awesome person! Thanks for the play/comments/extra!
Good game idea and theme interpretation. But controls are weird. Because of camera always moving it's hard to "catch" block places.
But good work anyway!
