That was clever and cute, good job :)

lars-kristian 2014-08-25 01:32

Thanks, I am glad you liked it. :D

Nice work. The look is cool, and the idea is cool too. The controls are a little wonky, but that's the only problem I saw.

shico 2014-08-25 02:18

This is a fun idea. I like the way the trees shake when it come to a sudden stop, it's a nice touch. I wish there were more levels though I cleared all 6 in less than 5 minutes...

2014-08-25 06:38

Wow, nice and clever idea ! Good work. It deserve a post compo version with better control and more (and bigger) levels.

chriskdev 2014-08-25 06:39

Nice idea! I think the levels were a bit easy, but it was fun to play through :D

nonentheless 2014-08-25 08:44

Great idea, nice play on the theme. You should polish it ;)

tonasz 2014-08-25 09:17

I really loved the concept and can't wait till you upgrade it with more levels and better controls. I think it should somehow snap to a grid in order to avoid shaking.

tacospice 2014-08-25 13:30

Man this is cool.
Not much to say about the gameplay, it's perfect.
Very short though, I see this being one of those games with a billion levels.

The trees and skyscrapers bouncing around when you move the piece is a nice touch. Some sound and/or music is always a nice touch, so it could do with that.

The controls you've listed on here seem reversed. It's left to drag, right for camera. Also, every time I release rmb the Unity menu pops up (web player version). Fortunately the puzzles can be solved without moving the camera.

By the way, you should mark your web links as Web (Unity), since it only works on Windows for the time being.

Menu could do with some work. Maybe a little screenshot of each level, and showing which ones have been completed.

Overall 4/5 though. Some tasteful audio would have made it 5/5 for me, given the kind of game it is.

intelligentbean 2014-08-25 13:35

I like the idea. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I really liked the jiggle effect of the little buildings when you slide them around

khahem 2014-08-25 13:35

Great idea and I love the physics animation :)

Controls were not so bad, maybe a bit of snapping would help.

losttraindude 2014-08-25 13:35

Really nice puzzle design. The controls feel a little strange, but so far it's the only issue I've noticed.

Good job!

mrspeaker 2014-08-25 13:38

Wow - very effective... looks so good. It took me a litte while to figure out the way things moved, but I love that it didn't need instructions: very nice piece of game design!

mrexcessive 2014-08-25 13:39

Nice puzzle, good job!

saintheiser 2014-08-25 14:29

Well done!
Very clever concept. And I would like to see more levels for this game =)

dickpoelen 2014-08-25 14:39

Fun little game. Love the wobling!

lars-kristian 2014-08-25 14:41

Thanks to everyone for amazing feedback. It is so much fun to see so many have played it. :D

I agree on the controls not being the best, but this was the best I could do with given time. Hope to make a new and upgraded version on day. Maybe it have more levels and sound. xD

namnam 2014-08-25 16:35

Realy cool game, a little bit short but there is a good concept with a good level design. We want more ! =D

digiraze 2014-08-25 16:49

I enjoyed the puzzle.

2014-08-25 17:39

Very clever!

stridewide 2014-08-25 18:08

The houses are so bouncy! I like this game.

joonamo 2014-08-25 18:25

Super cute wobble on the buildings! Controls were a bit buggy, but I definitely enjoyed the game. Unfortunately the unity web player beta crashed my graphics card which caused a kernel panic.

pinqu 2014-08-25 19:15

Very good. Love the animation on the houses and trees when moving. Needs a little polish on the controls, sometimes you can get stuck even though you are properly aligned.

lars-faust 2014-08-25 22:30

Very cool. Got really fun when you ramped up the difficulty a bit for the last 2 levels.

Love the wobbling of the assets.
With some fine tuning and more levels, this can be really good.

gene-z 2014-08-25 22:59

toooooo much gooood ... very nice guy

foobraco 2014-08-26 00:03

This is a very clever concept and mechanics, really like it!

nikki93 2014-08-26 02:16

I love it! A really neat idea, and the graphics are cute. I like how the little houses bounce around when you move the worlds.

keddelzz 2014-08-26 02:19

Great game! - Sweet graphics! - If it had more level, I'd be fun!

taocayo 2014-08-26 05:43

Great puzzle game. Very smart and a great take on the theme. Would love to play a more finished version! Great job!

c_walden 2014-08-26 07:40

Pretty fun. It was a little tricky to control though; you need to hold right mouse button to move the camera, but right click kept bringing up a context menu. Otherwise, pretty fun! I played it to the end.

frr171 2014-08-26 07:40

Cool mechanic! My only gripe was that the puzzles felt like they could be easily solved through trial and error.

norgg 2014-08-26 10:16

Whee, really pretty. Love the way the buildings wobble. Found the puzzles a bit easy, and the controls a bit fiddly in places though.

lion 2014-08-26 12:00

Very cool ! I would love this idea to be developed further ! Well done !

ludipe 2014-08-26 13:18

Well executed game. A little hard to control sometimes but fun and with nice art.

yword 2014-08-26 13:26

Very unique and innovative concept! Well done! Also, don't forget to disable the context menu. ^_^

adventureislands 2014-08-26 13:31

Simple and sweet! I like the little things like the trees and house, etc bouncing with the movement with the block. The puzzles were nice and nothing too complex. Great job!

pixelmind 2014-08-26 13:32

Very clever and enjoyable experience. The block movement could be more fluid and you should disable the right mouse menu for the web build.
Great job. Would have played longer if there were more levels :)

lars-kristian 2014-08-26 13:34

@Yword: thanks for letting me know. :D

desmarkie 2014-08-26 13:34

Nice little game this! Good job.

dustyroom 2014-08-26 14:18

This game would be very popular on mobile.

jharler 2014-08-26 14:26

I love this! The puzzles are very cool and I love the mechanic. I really like how the buildings wobble when you move the pieces. Very nice touch. The controls are a bit tricky, but manageable. I'd like to see this idea expanded upon with more levels. Well done!

dustystylus 2014-08-26 14:35

Heehee, I love the way the various bits wobble on the ends. Got through it pretty quickly. I care not though, for I am sucker for isometric polygons. :] Well done, fab wee game.

kerdelos 2014-08-26 15:32

Nice game but a bit too short.

dragonxvi 2014-08-26 18:18

Need idea. Must've been fun to design the levels for :p Collision's a bit odd when you try and force something into a position it can't do, but overall controls pretty simple! Wasn't immediately obvious which bits to grab to see how to move the shape, but figured it out quick enough.

Fairly short as folk said - Guess it would be interesting to see how the puzzles & difficulty would increase as levels went on? Fairly polished result though!

lissar 2014-08-26 23:47

I'd love to see this concept expanded on!

pythong 2014-08-27 13:16

Great job! played all the levels, too bad there are only 6 :D and I love the little bounce effect

howkj1 2014-08-30 20:05

I loved all 6 Puzzles! I loved the little jiggle the houses make.

clownaround 2014-08-31 08:09

Like the graphics. Nice puzzles.

simonchauvin 2014-09-02 19:43

I love the way you interpreted the theme! And the game is pretty cool and clever. Well done :)

hb3p8 2014-09-06 14:20

Nice puzzle. Want it for my smartphone=)

lotusgame 2014-09-12 12:47

Very nice entry ! Challenging, interesting, on theme, good graphics. Bravo !

klianc09 2014-09-12 12:49

Great puzzle game, I have to agree with previous commenters, it's pretty short (but that's OK for a LD entry).
Sad that there is no sound, but the wiggle effect is a nice touch. (strange how such little things can make a game so much more enjoyable)
Sometimes the ... 'thing' got stuck in the wall, but that's just a minor issue.

andrewjamesadams 2014-09-12 14:53

I dig the jiggly buildings. Well done

brookman 2014-09-12 15:23

I really liked it. The idea is great and I like the visual style. Unfortunately it's too easy/short and the controls feel a little glitchy sometimes.

sephyka 2014-09-12 16:03

Very nice and ingenious idea. I like the three small worlds, with small shakes on move. It would be better with a bit more polish as sounds, logotype and better user interface. This kind of game might be perfect for mobiles. :)

tbamberg 2014-09-13 03:29

Very clever mechanic. Would love to see it a bit more fleshed out.

franklins-ghost 2014-09-13 10:14

Fun little puzzle game with really nice graphics for 12 hrs work. Also liked the way the trees swayed as you moved the platforms. Some nice ambient music would be a nice touch to the atmosphere. Would like to see an expanded version.

runvs 2014-09-13 12:11

Nice and well executed entry!

ncannasse 2014-09-13 12:28

Good but a bit short. The controls are a bit imprecise too, should maybe have been better to lock in the grid ?

apiotrw 2014-09-13 16:00

Really great idea

nilstastic 2014-09-13 16:55

The good: Very nice idea and nice graphics!
The bad: The menu could be improved

All in all, great work!

jackyjjc 2014-09-13 23:14

Nice little game, I managed to finish all the levels! Would be nice to have some music :)

stevesalmond 2014-09-14 05:31

Great idea for a puzzle - felt a bit like trying to change gears with 3 sticks at once or something... One of those games you wish you'd thought of yourself. ;) Awesome work Lars!

mcapraro 2014-09-14 17:45

really neat and original game, congrats on a great entry!

nicepenguins 2014-09-14 18:07

Great idea ! The controls are a little bit frustrating.

stannellc 2014-09-15 22:04

Really like this, the levels could have been harder, but if you were going to turn this into something then they're fine, because you could progress to harder later on. Great job!
