SO HARD!!!!!! UGH
I like it , just needs some easier controls :)
Cool game although it is very hard. If you get hit once it is pretty much over, at least for me. So maybe less punishing if you get hit or something. But all in all a solid game!
It is very fun and nice to play. Just the fact that I got stuck between a wall of crates and I was holding a crate made me lose my record run D: <3
This game is a masterpiece of design. The controls could be tightened a little, and it probably should have some music, but the core game play is infuriating but genius (although recovery is too difficult)
It reminds me of a reeeeealy old game I had on my phone. It was almost the same but you had to put the box of the same type in a row of 4 instead of sorting them by color. Playing this game felt very nostalgic. This is much harder though! I have no idea how you managed to get so many points in one game. I only got like quarter of it. The game is really fun, I'm not sure if other entries will even be able to compete with this!
This got difficult very quickly. The visuals were nice and polished and the mechanics interesting. I would have liked to hear some more variation in the audio, but what you have is fine. Overall, great job!
It's a really well put together game! It's very challenging yet easy to get the hang of. Graphics are nicely done and I didn't come across any bugs or glitches. Well done!
The mechanics are great. The game is fun and make me want to play more.
However it might be too difficult. When there is already a wall, it is too hard to rescue. What about providing an "easy mode" for practice?
I liked the difficulty and quick action. I just had trouble with the control, wasnt used to it
Art was cute and the difficulty kept things interesting, but the controls were a bit difficult to manage. I was a little confused that blocks that fall on you seem to disappear, but otherwise cool game!
Incredible design, excellent difficulty, and obviusly amazingly well crafted! You made a real gem here! :)
There is a great core of a game in here. I think the idea is solid and I could really see this being a lot of fun. My main frustrations is how easy it is to get stuck, and then the crates keep falling while I'm stuck. If the controls were more forgiving and you coudl move stuff around a bit easier I think it would remove the frustration while highlighting the fun. This is a great start!
Pros: - It's refreshing to play a difficult game. A lot of people play it safe by making their games kinda easy. - The global leader boards were a neat idea - I really like the gameplay. The chaos of frantically balancing grabbing blue boxes in the red box area and rushing them across the field with knowing when to give up on that and just trying to get as many boxes from a closer proximity provided a real challenge and difficulty curve. ___ Cons: - Sometimes the controls could be a bit frustrating (e.g. if you're trying to grab a few boxes and have to jump to get them, it felt like you had only a few frames to grab) - Occasionally I found myself in an awkward game state where I was stuck in a corner surrounded by boxes. I suppose this could be argued as a part of the difficulty but I felt like rushing around to try and get as many boxes in holes was plenty difficult enough ___ Overall really great game, lots of fun. Thank you for sharing :)
Such an innovative game!
Liked the graphics and the simple sounds. The mechanic was easy to understand and worked very well. Reading the description i though that collision would be a problem but i found no bugs in this aspect, the gameplay is very fluid. Cool to have a global leaderboard. Congrats!
Nothing crazy when it comes to theme. Graphics are ok. Audio too, but missing music. I got stuck in a hole.
BUT ACTUALLY FUN!
Well done. I'm impressed
It was difficult, but it was still interesting and fun! Not only does it fit this theme, but it would have also fit the previous 2 themes of "Combine 2 incompatible genres" with combining match 3 and platformer sorta and "The more you have, The worse it is" with the boxes building up. Overall it was very innovative and fun! I liked that it was difficult, there's a special place in my heart for fast-paced difficult games. I got stuck a lot before remembering that the start screen mentioned picking up boxes underneath you. Maybe you should have had some kind of playable tutorial, where you are walked through each action and get to do each one for yourself. I made it to 20th on global leaderboards with my score of 46! Overall, great job!
Nice variant of a Tetris game. I gave it a few plays and made it to the leaderboard. I think it follows the theme well and has some nice simple art. The player handles well and I had few issues with placement of anything.
The one issue I would say the game has is after a certain point there doesn't seem to be a way to come back if a stack gets too tall. The time it takes to reposition blocks to scale your way over to the stack threatening to end the game is the same time it takes to continue growing.
I had a lot of fun playing this! Nice game!
The game is fun! haha I thought it was cool how you guys dealt with the Jam theme!
This game is great! Very good idea, perfect for the theme, good art and appropriate sfx, no apparent bugs, and a working leaderboard! Props to you.
No bugs, very intuitive design, optional strategy, and some rather nice sprites. Overall it's a good game!
Had a lot of fun with this entry! Gave me super nostalgic memories of playing games like "Mixed Up Mother Goose" as a kid, primarily through your choice of sound. Love that you included a global leaderboard! It appears there are a few situations that cause immediate loss. However, as someone else who did a crate based game, that occurs in mine as well, and it does match the theme well! Great job.
Great game. Solid.
This is great! I thought it was a pretty creative action-puzzle game which created a number of interesting situations. The biggest drawback for me are the controls, which seem unnecessarily difficult. When I'm holding a block and facing a stack of height 1, I should be able to just put my block on top of there without jumping. And putting a block on a stack of height 2 takes very precise timing. The positioning required to do various actions could probably be tightened up, too. The other thing is that the stacks can get pretty high pretty quickly. I would have liked if there were more opportunities for dealing with it (I spent a lot of the games having "given up" on one of the colors). For example, dropping a combo of 3 could destroy the lowest layer of boxes, perhaps.
I still had a lot of fun with this. Good job! My high score was 87.
Smooth controls, great visuals, nice sounds and fun gameplay! Also it is trickier that in looks :) loved it!
Very fun and challenging. Placing a box mid jump can be a little finicky sometimes. I think your options would improve a lot if you could place a box beneath you mid-jump.
NIce entry! Really like it :)
It is a real challenge but in a good way. Slower box drop or perhaps a double jump may make things a tad easier.
Cool game! :thumbsup:
Very nice game... even if I always end up stuck between two piles of crates waiting for the game over, I really enjoyed your entry. Good job.
i got stuck at one point as i was carrying a box and dropped into a hole. Other than that, awesome game! Flow of the game is smooth and the concept is nice!
Cool game! Controls are a bit weird at first, but pretty fun.
This is hard but fun! I really like the graphics, the controls were weird though. If you could rate my game that would appreciated!
Fun game, but really hard! Solid entry to the compo!
Super game! Very fun and challenging, the best I could do was 66 :)
Overall great entry!
Although the game is hard, it is fun to play ! I really enjoyed the graphics. I was honestly too slow to keep up with the pace of the game and wasn't skilled enough to manage to create stairs and empty the stacks with more than 5 boxes. As tom7 said it was frustrating to have a short lapse of time while jumping to pick or put boxes there. Despite of that, this game is a great entry, congrats !
