Really cool entry, but I was not able to win Level 4 :D
I would love a mobile Version with faster Block moving and touch conrols(I often got confused on what arrow to use)
Why is there no Linux build? Its just a click away!

Very good idea. However it seems to be a bit slow. And I think that the board should be oriented the same as the small map.

Cool! I liked the overall feeling. I got stuck on level 3 tho haha. Nice game!
I like this type of games. But it was better to make full mouse controls (by hitting the arrows, for example). Keyboard is not very good for that.
Loved the mood in this game. Nice and relaxed :) Was hoping for mouse controls because I tend to use the wrong key now and then. Also there's currently no way to restart a level if you made a mistake.

the linux build somehow did not work :(

Very nice puzzle concept! Good complexity through simple mechanics…
criticism: @fatsopanda says it all :)

Good game! Maybe not super innovative, but solid puzzle. Got stuck on Level 5 with no pattern to follow.
+ Graphics and Animations - Something other than black background would be nice, otherwise great
+ Audio - Sounds good.
+ Not being able to move single blocks was a smart and simple design to enable creative puzzles.
- Controls - Using keyboard to move felt very tedious
- Got stuck with no pattern to solve
Anyway, well done

you can move single blocks if they are not part of a line when you move them.
can you explain "with no pattern to solve"?

update: the bug in level 5 should be fixed in the web version. had no time to test pc/mac
Good puzzle game, enjoyed the music but I am not smart enough to play well but I can still admire the work xD

nice puzzle game. the controls could be better. you have to click the elements but use the arrow keys to move because you can't click the red arrows in game. also the rotated map/game make a bit hard to see whats wrong, so i could not solve lvl4

Great game I love the puzzle games, and this one was very fun.

I really loved the mechanic and the overall aesthetics of the game, but as others mentioned it before a mouse control option would be really good, i constantly used the wrong keys.
Cool take on the shapeshifting mechanics. The perspective made figuring out the controls a little confusing. Overall, great graphics!

A good puzzle game, nice graphics, nice audio!
Well done!
A very cool puzzler.
Connection of the tiles provides a nice challenge.
Putting a compass on the board might improve the game, as I failed on the first level right away, placing the floating crates in the wrong orientation.
I enjoyed playing your game to the end. Good job :)

This was a delight to play! The puzzles and mechanics were fun, albeit a bit tedious given the controls and movement of the blocks; it made the game somewhat boring at times. The story element to it was lost on me, though I did like the idea behind it. Did get dragged in by the puzzles themselves, which made me finish it in the end. (and having a great time doing so) Thank you for making this, it was entertaining.

Really nice game! The visuals and sound combined very well and the puzzles were interesting and easy to understand.
Great game so far, my biggest request is a restart button, preferably R. Also it would be nice if your object stayed selected after you move it, if possible. Keep us updated on progress :)

- clickable arrow
- restart button in every level
enjoy :)

oh, and also the level is not rotated that much, should be easier to navigate now.

Cool little game. But Movement are to slow and maybe one or two gameplay elements was cool.
Good luck !
It's a little annoying that you can't do everything with the mouse, especially since the direction isn't apparent with the board's perspective. A reset button would also have been useful. Solid entry though, nice work!

Great job! Levels are clever and interesting. Spend some good time solving it.

Level 4-5 are hard as ... , but after others are OK/(but maybe 6 is so easy)
Music is good, but I think you should don't use pixelization of models for better art style.
Good smart game. Hard a bit (but I know, it's so hard to create smooth complexity .. in Ludum time)
Played a bit with the jam version, then switched to the post jam one. In my opinion the new camera angle is a big improvement, the previous one paried with keyboard controls was confusing to me. Enjoyable puzzle, not too hard and relaxing. The audio adds a lot to the immersion. I'm conflicted about the slow sliding of the pieces: on one hand it reinforces the sea theme, on the other it slows the game down. An enjoyable experience overall, well done!

Pretty fun and interesting mechanics. Some of the puzzles are actually quite hard.
Nice and relaxing game. Good mood.

Great puzzle game, but I don't really know why the movement is so slow... :P

Why is the embedded version not the jam version but the postjam version???
I almost gave some fine scores but now I really have to mark it down.
The game itself is a bit slow, but the problem is that it's a bit easy. I've stopped playing after level 9, but for levels 7,8,9, I have steps left. (Not going to recheck this since the game is so slow and you can't reselect finished levels.)

Nice work.
I would play more levels if you speed up block movement by 4x or so.
