That was cool, I liked it.

vulpineblazeyt 2018-08-13 05:36

I forgot I was playing LD games for a minute, definitely a fun puzzle game.

SPOILERS but it was sooooo sad

4thwallstudios 2018-08-13 05:37

That was beautiful, so simplistic but complex at the same time. This has tons of potential.

ethan-nachreiner 2018-08-13 05:46

Short and sweet! Well... sort of sweet, more depressing really. I loved how you incorporated the story with the mechanics. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but when "she" was introduced and the game became harder I thought that the story and gameplay was a bit disconnected (to me as a player, she was just another obstacle); but then when the game became easier I also kind of missed her (because the game is only interesting when it's actually a challenge). The gameplay, graphics, and sound all succeed in doing everything they functionally have to, and the game just has a nice overall tone. Great game! (Although I do wish it was a bit longer.)

simone-cicchetti 2018-08-13 05:55

Really good to play, went by really pleasantly <3. A couple of times the puzzles could have been anticipated better, but overall the whole game is solid and has a strong identity!

lastleaf 2018-08-13 09:23

@ethan-nachreiner Thanks for your comments.

I think first several levels should be easy enough, so the second section (she came) and the third section (she left) are generally harder. I did not have much time to research the game mechanics. The difficulty control is not well enough currently :(

However, she is just keep bringing everything and do no cleaning. It is also a kind of "love" :)

Great puzzle game with a sad story. I liked it!

zachary-shah 2018-08-13 16:51

Puzzles were challenging and so fun. I loved the story and the music was really fitting! This game has so much potential. Feel free to play and rate my game if you like at https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/ouch

Great story and puzzles! The music did get a little repetitive though

jens 2018-08-13 17:03

Love the graphics! The gameplay is really good. I didn't get so far but you've managed to implement a lot of levels. Hats off to you!

lastleaf 2018-08-13 17:14

@jens you can try keyboard [N] if you find a level is too hard for you

historymaker118 2018-08-13 18:32

I really enjoyed this game. So simple, yet very touching. The music got a little repetitive, and the levels could do with a bit more challenge (I found the whole thing to be a little too easy) but a fantastic effort for a two game solo game.

2lol555 2018-08-13 18:34

Amazing storytelling! Great use of the theme :) Loved it!

literallyjosh 2018-08-13 18:38

That was great! I found oe one of the puzzles disproportionately more difficult than the others but it was nice.

garygreen 2018-08-13 18:46

That was such a unique puzzle game. I really enjoyed the story you added to it.

donitz 2018-08-13 19:14

Surprisingly deep story on top of fun gameplay. Nice!

dangogamedev 2018-08-13 20:03

Really special game, great job. Love how the music seemed to sync with moving boxes rapidly.

ismael-rodriguez 2018-08-13 20:08

Pretty much a masterpiece. Cute story, solid mechanics, good puzzles, charming evolving music.

If anything could be improved I would say it's the visuals and overall presentation. They get the job done, but it's just the weakest part of what you have here. Possibly some kind of sound effect or "yay" when completing puzzle.

Overall AWESOME Jam game.

@ismael-rodriguez Thanks for the feedback!

autumnotopia 2018-08-15 06:10

I liked how relaxing it was. The puzzles were relatively easy, but that's okay. Overall very charming.

stefan-jovanovic 2018-08-17 17:36

Really enjoyable puzzle. I like how there is a story behind everything. There were some challenging parts but overall wasn't that hard. Keep up the good work! :smile:

bigbosserndog 2018-08-17 18:54

Wow, very nice puzzle game! The puzzle mechanic was very simple and easy to understand but changes things up with different size obstacles and slightly more complicated layouts. It's not too difficult but this would be a lot of fun if developed further outside of Ludum Dare.

steffo 2018-08-18 09:27

I loved this!

The simple story is perfect for the simple mechanics, and all the levels are challenging enough to be satisfying to beat!

The best game I've played for this jam! Really well done!

isubka 2018-08-19 14:27

Making people feel things with such a small game is really really hard. For me, everything is well done here. Right now this is my favourite game of the jam (it doesn't look like a jam game at all by the way!!).

designernap 2018-08-19 14:33

This is simply excellent. Loved this. A nice touch that was perfect polish was the song changing to have two melodies that matched when "she" arrives. Loved it. Superb!

lastleaf 2018-08-19 17:36

@isubka Thanks! I also love your game. It is solid, interesting, and carefully designed in every aspect. This is my 5th game jam. This time I tried not to focus on the graphics and the detailed level design, but to do my best on storytelling. It resulted in a game which was different from other games I made before. I am glad you enjoyed it!

And thanks to all the advices and encouragements above!

maximemazet 2018-08-19 20:05

Its very good game ;) graphics very nice and the overal is very good too

riptidestudio 2018-08-20 15:43

Nice and fun puzzle game! That cube-girl made me nervous. Always that women makes things harder...

diego-escalante 2018-08-21 06:12

Good twist on a classic puzzle. And an equally good use of the theme. The game is pretty simple and intuitive, but has good challenging depth. I liked how the music changed near the end.

t8kk 2018-08-21 11:28

Oh nice story and game LastLeaf! I did truly enjoy this game! From sound design to story and game mechanic with a great fit of the ludumdare theme I found this game an excellent entry. Well done LastLeaf!

crastinator 2018-08-22 03:43

Ah the feels! Thanks for a touching experience. What a great entry!

king-kujito 2018-08-22 16:02

This game is sweet. Would love to see this game with more challenging levels.

lastleaf 2018-08-22 17:26

@king-kujito Thanks! I will do further development with more researches of the mechanics.

I am happy that you feel it sweet not sad ^_^

lilkrit 2018-08-23 12:59

I'm sorry I had to give you lower humor score, the game is just too sad :( other than that, only good ratings for you!

meatpudding 2018-08-24 14:34

Wow what a great game! I loved the theme and the story. The puzzles were really fun. So awesome.

eric-kulbiej 2018-08-25 17:33

Great art style and sound. Good job. I like the mechanics as well. Keep it up!

Please do check my game maybe you’ll like it and leave some feedback.

thegunmaster 2018-08-25 19:58

Oh wow, this game is great! Super fun to play and quite unique. Seemed like just a copy of that unblock me game at first, but turned out to be rather different. It also fits the theme super well and has very nice graphics, good job!

zirrrus 2018-08-26 10:05

Very good blend of narrative and gameplay! The change in music really emphasized the shift in mood. Very good job!

sibi 2018-08-26 10:17

Lovely game. Simple but emotional. The ending was a bit abrupt but otherwise great job!

sachay 2018-08-28 22:18

Oh my god this is so sad, at the start we hate the blocks she gather and when she leaves, we miss them :cry:

anna-petrova 2018-08-29 17:51

Nice art. Cool game!

jzjerry 2018-08-31 16:54

Very cool!It reminds me of the sliding-block toy which I've played when I was a little boy XD!

andrei9 2018-09-03 16:41

Nice game! interesting graphics :thumbsup:

wildcard 2018-09-03 17:24

Cool use of theme, I had fun trying to solve the puzzles, they are quite challenging. The story is very good! Well done!

f1krazy 2018-09-04 19:29

This was so sad, but so beautiful. I love it. Possibly the best story-based game I've played this Ludum Dare. I'm not very good at these kinds of slider puzzles, but I was absolutely determined to see this one through, and I did. For her.

There's not really anything I can suggest. It's short, obviously, but it doesn't need to be any longer. It's already a good enough game by itself.

lastleaf 2018-09-05 00:45

@f1krazy I am considering making the story longer (adding a happy ending?).
