A fairly unique, and frustrating puzzle game. Is each level designed so there is only one solution or are there many solutions with maybe an optimal one? I had a hard time figuring out a method to use to solve and mostly just kept shuffling rooms around until it fit. It does feel very polished also.
This game is pretty cool. There's a lot of polish and the main puzzle aspect is very satisfying.
Great game. The visuals are very well done and the theme is creatively used (no snowmen is a plus). The voice-overs are a nice touch to the engaging humor.
I found though that each level was too similar to the last. Maybe I'm stupid or tired or both but the little differences (windows and doors, etc) were too difficult for my monkeybrain to register.
Overall: great polish, needed more depth.
Fun puzzler, kept trying to rotate stuffs :)
Very nice puzzle, got a little samey but well put together :)
The screenshot intrigued me. The gameplay is pretty unique, I liked it!
Very fascinating puzzles. Quite difficult too, I think. In a good way. Either I'm no good at them or I didn't understand them well enough.
Wow! I love you game. Nice idea.
The "Hey champ" caught me off guard, and I was too sleep deprived to not laugh. A Jigsaw puzzle isn't exactly a revolutionary concept, but this was a particularly enjoyable Jigsaw puzzle.
I dig what I saw. The hitboxes for the buttons seemed to be offset too low, which made them impossible to click on my 1366x768, so I wasn't able to go to the next floor.
Very well done puzzler. Graphics are really nice, sound is cool (only lacks some background music), and the mechanics are well done! Maybe you should highlight windows/doors/etc. when they are introduced to the players to make it easier for them to spot them. Overall nicely done!
This is actually pretty fun! I always love building stuff. The game itself is pretty simple, but it sort of feels like it's deeper than it is. The transparent blueprint graphics are perfect. "Ey, champ!" is great too. ;) I just had a couple of issues...First, I wonder about the scoring system. If I put windows on the outside, does that give me more money? How about doors on the outside? I put a door on the outside and as far as I can tell nothing changed. Maybe if you had a "+$500 window bonus!" pop up or something. The second thing is that a couple of levels I'm sure cannot be solved ("solved" in the sense of no overlap, all blueprints used, all windows on outside). And finally, I wondered if the game was ever going to end. After level 22 I was started to feel mentally exhausted, so I stopped! Good work though. ;)
Truly addicting, held my interest through 36 levels.
Very nice, kept me busy for a while. Oddly enough the game seemed to get easier over time.. not sure if that was just me getting better at the game or the game actually getting easier, but I feel the window and door mechanics were quite helpful to find a good solution. Either way, it's was nice to see new elements be introduced every few floors. Also the art style is spot on, those blue prints look really nice. :)
It was a fun experience and well made! included it in my random LD31 gameplay video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei_gJeG5cgM
