Holy moley.

This is one of those entries thats so good its almost painful!

From the game boy era stylings to the wonderfully elegant design to the brilliant use of theme, there is so much going on in this submission!

I personally love that the old trappings of jumping are done away with, making you feel at first vulnerable and at a loss as how to solve what should be a simple problem. Then to have that replaced with the wonderful feeling of accomplishment as you grasp the mechanics. Its just awesome!

Really great job! Will definitely keep playing it! :D

Nice cohesive art style, absolutely FANTASTIC level design, fits the theme well. Only thing that keeps it from a perfect score was the lack of music. I'd like to see this on Steam with more levels, you're really good at it!

@tauntButtered I did want to put music in, but I was traveling most of the weekend, so something had to be cut unfortunately.

Great mechanics, and good use of them. The ramp in difficulty was a bit much for me, but hey. Well done.

Great puzzle

Funny puzzle game with a unusual aesthetic. Well done ++

Whoa this is really clever! Too bad you didn't have time to polish up the audio side of things more, though. That AHA moment when you first slinky up the stairs is great! :D

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

this was really cool! the puzzles were great, though i did get stuck for a bit at the second to last (?) one. very polished though, except for the boxes landing on the character

Very solid entry! I think theme is well played, also should I mention the art? It's great. Would be even better if you could add some music, but its not a big deal.

Really fun, would have been nice to let the player know how to restart.

Nice puzzle game!

Really great work! The step-climbing animation is so adorable, it made me smile when I first saw it. I love the character's faces, too. The art is perfect.

The puzzle difficulty really surprised me. It ramped up really fast, and the levels demanded a lot of very precise planning or else you could easily get stuck. You're really forced to plan out your moves, unlike some other puzzle games where you only ever have to think 1 or 2 steps ahead and can just trial-and-error your way through. I enjoyed it, and managed to reach the end.

As other comments have mentioned, the only issue is the lack of music.

Anyways, fun game! I'd love to see this released as a mobile game with a bunch of different levels.

Best game played so far! Best part is how the tall form move up in steps!

kzdev 2016-04-26 02:21

Very good entry, solid and unique mechanics. Like others have said some music would be nice but otherwise this is a great game.

Funny, you found my game while i was actually browsing your game ^^
Man, you made me use all my smarts! I ran out. Very nice puzzle design, it was very fun and the concept is super cool. Perfect use of the theme. :)

Nice Game Boy like Art. Fun entry! :-)

Very nice game. Fantastic GameBoy-like graphics. Puzzles are interesting and they get challenging fast. The only thing that could make this game better would be the addition of music. Great job.

mrshoestore 2016-04-28 14:49

well done. a little music would be a nice rug, but overall its a great look, and well thought out puzzle game

flummox2d 2016-04-30 17:15

Love the gameboy palette and the really solid mechanics. Awesome entry! :)
