Great use of the concept.

Amazing art. This is a really nice game. Good job!

micdoodle8 2014-08-25 06:03

Nice Job, I really like the pixel art in this one :)

I like the graphics, but I can't seem to do anything? Are you meant to be able to move boxes between areas somehow? I think I managed to get a letter into the letter box but it exploded.

tijmentio 2014-08-25 06:08

I'm stuck :( ...I think... the graphical style is really sweet though! Congratulations with your first LD :)

Really tricky - it looks great!

shasharala 2014-08-25 07:30

Oh that is really neat! And super cute!
I really like how our friendly protagonist appears to be hopping from foot to foot.

zapaman 2014-08-25 07:32

Graphics look sweet as hell. Well done for your first Ludumdare, well done indeed.

Adorable graphics. But I got really stuck... maybe give us more hint ?

Beautiful art and great job on first entry. The colours used set the mood really well but did find the text difficult to read at times

chriskdev 2014-08-25 13:16

Wow, amazing art style! Looks really great and is fun to play.

Graphics are very nice, great work.

Great visual style. Managed to loosely figure out how to change things, but didn't get much further after that.

mrtedders 2014-08-25 18:59

Wasn't quite sure how to beat the game but I loved the art style!

tautnerve 2014-08-25 21:37

Loved the graphics and overall aesthetic.
I thought that I figured out the main mechanic
but couldn't quite figure out why some boxes
vanished while others turned into trees.
I restarted the game a few times but couldn't manage
to create a free path to complete it.
The real fun for me was actually to try and figure out the secret behind the game's mechanic, it was like solving a really good puzzle / riddle.

Beautiful graphics. It will be nice a way to move between areas without having to walk.

saampahlavan 2014-08-26 02:27

great visuals, but not enough feedback to understand what's going on.

canyon 2014-08-26 02:39

I couldn't move any boxes into storage, they just got stuck at the exit. But graphics 5 stars!

incredible-ape 2014-08-26 18:22

Looks great, but I couldn't figure out what to do at all after about 10 minutes of running around. Sound/music would have been nice too.

hypnohustla 2014-08-26 19:52

Very pretty game. Can't figure out what to do tho. :D

solifuge 2014-08-27 08:26

Beautiful graphics... I could get somewhere, but I just couldn't figure out what was supposed to go where, or really determine how I was influencing the scenes. I think a game with more stages or something might have worked better... as-is I felt like there was a solution, but that I was being punished for not wanting to sit down and go through the tedium of graph paper. Plus, any time I managed to do anything, it would all reset... !! It was just a bit too much.

Thank you for the game! I'm looking forward to seeing you next Ludum Dare :]

ruerob 2014-08-27 21:17

Thank you for your entry, but somehow I didn't get through. Your graphics are very nice.

honcho 2014-08-27 23:43

Art is amazing! really warm colors

makatak 2014-08-29 00:55

At first I was super confused... then after reading through the comments I thought I figured out what to do, but couldn't get it to work predictably. You have guts for making such a difficult mechanic, which I both love and hate you for. The art is top notch, but some music would've helped a lot. I really wanted to help those people... :'(

snicklodocus 2014-08-29 20:22

Pretty confusing. I felt like I was beginning to understand but then something would work differently! Still, I had fun exploring the world! Beautiful graphics and great mood.

praron 2014-08-30 05:39

I don't know how to play in this, but nice graphic and really good game. But font is not very good, hard to read D:

nesis 2014-09-03 18:06

Great idea for a game mechanic. Very nice graphics, especially the colour palette and character design.

A later version would benefit from a more direct demonstration of how the box room affects the outside world. One way this could be done is by starting the player off with a much simpler level (one box room, one outside area, with limited kinds of boxes and obstacles), then gradually introducing more kinds of boxes and obstacles to accentuate their difference from the previously known ones.

xrm0 2014-09-06 10:56

Well, don't know what to do!

01010111 2014-09-14 22:54

Wasn't really sure how to work things, but I love the art! Amazing job with the characters!

lokarunith 2014-09-15 22:03

Brilliant game. Understanding the mechanics was a true challenge, after exploring for half an hour I began to understand how it worked and after another 15 min. I fully understood the mechanics. A very well tought game.
