WOW, EXCELLENT PUZZLE GAME MECHANIC.

Like: - mildly juicy animations, looks like a polished game - crisp pixel graphics - amazing game mechanic - yay for GameMaker! - credits in the game background, smooth!

Try Differently: - steep learning curve - on my 3440x1440 screen, double or triple pixel size would have been sweet :) I love 'em chunky, you know. - add sounds to juice it up even more

Overall: - very innovative puzzle game - awesome title - works on Windows 10 just fine (gives a nasty "Windows Protected Your PC" dialog, though)

Really good game. Is there was a level reset button so that the level could be reset if you get stuck?

Great entry, the mechanic goes really well with the theme, well done. I think the 2nd level is bugged, the second switch doesn't do anything.

Oof, those sound effects were kind of grating. The graphics weren't terribly impressive. But that gameplay was really fun! I was hooked right away with the mechanics, and I saw it through to the end. Not too tough (until the fifth stage, omg watch out), and I enjoyed it.

Enjoyable core mechanic in game that has a lot of potential. The graphics are a little simplistic (although the players movement is animated really smoothly. Some music would be a huge benefit also but otherwise good job!

I like the title, going around in the game with the character making decisions.

Excellent! Nice puzzle mechanics, simple yet difficult levels, nice sound. I love when I have to draw on paper to get through a level. Good job!

Amazing game! I loved the puzzles, especially the last level. My biggest recommendation is making R reset levels instead of or in addition to enter, just so that it is more intuitive. I really liked the font for the numbers and the animation for the character was really smooth. The tiles pushing down when you jump on them was also a nice touch that made the movement feel really good. Great job!

Puzzles are solid 10/10. Sound effect for jumps was quite annoying. I'd also rather see the whole level right away instead of wasting first few attempts to do so.

An interesting puzzle mechanic. I found myself wishing your character moved a bit faster though. I didn't have an issue with the sound effects, but my speakers were also turned down low.

Like it very much. I think the sounds effects work very nicely with the overall feel to the game. I think it fits the theme very well too. The fifth puzzle, was super hard for me lol

Nice puzzle mechanics sir. It really hooked me up with the game .Graphics and sound effects are good enough too . Good luck with your entry.

Nice little puzzle game. I got a good experience, but couple of things made me not enjoying 100%, it is minor things thoug: - The SFX was little noisy, so I've to must my speakers. - The game can't restart the level with "R" button, which is the universal thing for most of the GM games. I know you can restart the level in another way, it's what i figured out later form the page here, but usually when i play a game i don't read any of the above descriptions, so i can see how friendly the game is with my gamer soul :D

Overall, good job

Nice minimalistic game! The puzzles are very well designed and they were really fun! I wish there were more mechanics involved though! Overall god job!

Keep up the good work!

nice work!!!

This is a clever little take on the theme! I really liked it. It's simple, it's smart puzzle solving and it's really fun. Add music! And make it clear that enter restarts the level, it was confusing at first. But overall this is fantastic.

Nice game, Level 4 was hard.

Note that some people won't bother too much with level passing and will give up so it is wise to implement skip level so they see all levels and end of the game.

The puzzle concept is great and clever, I truly enjoyed it. I like the minimalist art style but I was a bit annoyed by the sound effects. The level were enjoyable but the difficulty escalates quickly. Overall, good game :D

The game just feels good to play. TBH I was pretty happy with the animations and presentation even though they were simple. Nice use of the game mechanics throughout all the level design, I'm sure you had to put in a decent amount of playtime to get those all lined up. The levels that were open and gave you a lot of choices were challenging and satisfying to solve once you got it. Give my game a shot sometime, it has a somewhat similar premise in terms of limited movement puzzle.

A challenging game with nicely designed puzzles. But the sound effects get really annoying.
