It's difficult to suss out what the icons do. Perhaps include some rollover help text or something next time. Otherwise, smart work here. Keep it up!

Nice game and smart game. Really fun mechanic

Nice art. Seems like a fun game. Needs a bit more guidance

Good job!

Nice idea!

I loved this! It really appeals to the tinkerer in me. I've played some games like this before, but what sets this one apart is how you pick up the new pieces to work with as you progress through the level. And how you're going back and forth between setting things up to go further into the level vs. getting setting things up to acquire that one new piece.

Really well done! I got stuck in the upper right with the black holes and didn't figured out how to pass.

Some improvements:
1. Don't restart when you die. If you die then you always want to make some changes.
2. Make sure it is deterministic. It fells a bit random at sometimes if the runner makes it or not.

Superb work with this one!

If anyone finishes the game, can you post you run count (in the bottom left corner)? I'd like to know how many tries it takes to get through :)

Loved the Incredible Machine vibe! Goob job!

I like puzzles, especially Incredible Machine like, and this one seems really good. But I'm stucked just after taking the red mushroom, because unlike previous gains, no new room opened. Am I doing it wrong, or something ?
Anyways, I give you a good rate, because it's a good job you done. :)

Its look like a "maze game", nice work

Cool concept! Seems like it could be a really cool game!

hippolyta 2014-12-10 15:37

Wow, that's a cool game and idea - I like the mechanics and style!
Well done!

Absolutely wonderful. A huge amount of gameplay in a small space. I appreciated the way you reused areas to make multiple puzzles. The music is great, and I laughed at the ending.

I finished it with about 170 runs. But last night I played and got too tired and gave in, and I'm sure I played over 100 runs. Put me down for "about 300". So... it's hard.

well done

sushin 2014-12-11 10:21

Really fun! I like the idea a lot. Also the music is quite nice :). Congratulations!

magicolo 2014-12-11 18:40

Thanks everyone for you nice words. Don't hesitate to tell me what doesn't work with the game, that's how I'll get better ;)

cyros 2014-12-15 19:58

First level is really hard, great job though!

rodobodolfo 2014-12-15 22:31

Challeging Game! vry good concept. A checkpoint system would be nice...

arzi 2014-12-15 22:42

Very good puzzle game, although too difficult to be completed while rating games. I really like the concept, it would be a good idea to expand on this!

ramyaanudeep 2014-12-18 16:31

heyy....wat an awsum job guys

ynots 2014-12-18 16:52

nice..

johnbrynte 2014-12-28 11:23

A really nice game idea, sort of a fusion of a platformer with upgrades and lemmings! It would have been interesting to merge the play mode and the build mode a bit more, like having a stream of ghosts, but maybe that's not feasible when the level is so long. More explanation of the power ups, or just making everything a bit bigger, might have helped.

Linux build there is no data folder, and the Windows data folder doesn't work either.
