Lovely nice retro pixel art!

Loved the idea. The music and art style set a really pleasant tone. Very challenging though.

Very challenging and I really love the art style!
Quite a unique take on the theme as well~

I like this! Good take on the theme and pretty good execution! It's pretty difficult but rewarding to figure out. I like the art as well!

One of the best interpretations of the theme. Loved it.

Very interesting idea! Well done!
I like it!:)

Controls are a bit hard, but the idea is, like many other said, refreshing. I loved it. However, you should explain a bit how to play, I had a hard time understanding that you had to keep the mouse button down to throw the block.

Really cool idea, the music sets a good mood and I love the pixel art (: Well done!

Cool idea.If you just throw a rock on top of an enemy without force the enemy disappears but is not killed and you cant move on to the next level.Bug or feature?

sweetbyte 2015-04-21 12:06

@eddynardo: Definitely a bug, I'll fix that as soon as possible

Thanks you all for the compliments and feedback!

Nice Game! While the Unconventionality of using your Enviroment as a Weapon was not fully in focus (since you can just ignore the enemys and move on ahead), it still was a really good idea implementing it. I love the puzzles this game has, and my only point of criticizism is that you need to kill yourself to restart the level manually. Everything apart from that is pretty good. I like it.

Innovative mechanic and impressive graphics

Really liked your games pixel art and music, suited it. However I didn't entirely understand it, and I think I solved the first puzzle a different way because I didn't know how I was meant too (http://i.gyazo.com/0b6d3ac97fb6bca7703432e69da30f82.png) I still really enjoyed it though, and playing it, I could see the depth of the gameplay. Really well done! I also like the starting story, shot your mood ratings up for sure. Pretty much gave all 4 stars.

Conpletly unrelated: Your website and demain name is so cool.

(I accidently posted this on the wrong persons game, it was meant to be posted here :D )

great idea, but kind of hard for me

benbateman 2015-04-21 13:22

I wasn't immediately clear on what to do, but once I got it, I loved it. Nice art style, soothing music, interesting levels. Definitely fits the theme of the jam.

acrimiens 2015-04-22 11:25

hahaha, I like it, good mechanics to continue working on a more complete game

spriters2000 2015-04-22 18:16

Good game. It has some bugs, but it is still pretty polished for a jam entry.

andrea 2015-04-22 18:19

Such a cool and simple game! The last panel was a little frustrating when you don't know you HAVE to kill the monster if you wanna win!
Awesome idea and awesome game, great work!

Really fun game, loved the idea. One thing I would change is the throwing mechanic. I think maybe a "Flappy Birds" type click and drag would be more intuitive. Love the music, it fit really well with the game.

Some of the graphics could have used a bit more polish, but they work well for what you've done :)

Nice presentation and music! Very interesting central concept. It could use a bit of work on the block-throwing controls maybe, as I found dragging the blocks up and clicking on the arrow to be a tad fiddly. Good stuff though.

awpteamoose 2015-04-24 08:58

It was rather hard to control where the block goes, but other than that - it's pretty good.

embalaje 2015-05-10 12:26

Clever game! Very beautiful. Nice mechanics, make you think but it´s not frustrating.
Hey, want to play more :D

The concept itself is interesting and decently implemented, but the level design could've been a bit better. Being hit by enemies next to the spawn point was a bit frustrating.

xanjos 2015-05-10 22:46

I liked the concept although the block throwing controls were pretty awkward at times.
