I Loved the game! And the art style too!! Keep up the good work mate!

The pixel art is awesome, gameplay was alright, not a big fan of platformers myself, but could see the appeal :)

Terrible artist you say!? I LOVE the art style, great job! :smile:

talios 2018-08-13 11:13

What's it with the pixel art being good ? I have literally 0 skill in art xD Thanks a lot then ^_^

falk-bruskeland 2018-08-13 12:21

Fun game! It's difficult, but enjoyable! Good pixel art!

randdir 2018-08-13 12:26

Nice mechanics and a good pixel art, a bit confused but very addictive. Keep it up !

Very fun and moody game, pixel art is beautiful, only thing maybe could have been more fitting to the theme in some way, very good job, now we want more levels of it! :D

This game was very well polished and doing things such as moving crates was very easy and seamless. The UI and everything was very neat and clean. The mechanic is very good and has a lot of potential. My personal gripe is the control scheme. I'm not a fan of arrows + space since it forces me to cramp my hands which is why I prefer arrows + X. Adding in the bombs and raining crates really added to the levels and the pacing was almost exceptional. Anything else? mmm... no. I had a lot of fun with this one.

There are some nice details in there. And the art is really cute. I played it several times :) It's a hook.

Aaah too much kind comments ! Everybody is so nice ! I have to thank all of you ! ^^

@sdrrv Thanks a lot !

@justinsix Thanks a lot !

@fryderider Thanks a lot ! And woah how can you love so much my pixel art ? I thought this was impossible !

@falk-bruskeland Thanks a lot ! I was afraid I made it a bit difficult though !

@randdir Thanks a lot ! It gets very confusing really fast indeed !

@andreadbx Thanks a lot ! I'll make more levels in the future if I can find new gameplays twists, because right now I feel I have exploited the idea as much as I could ! (Although that may be because I need some serious rest right now)

@call-me-nutty Thanks a lot ! I'm glad I succeeded to provide at least some fun ! For the control scheme, I wanted to play it safe as I don't know all the button locations for keyboard, so I went for some classic space bar and shift / crtl. But I agree that it is definitely something I should rework.

@hakro Thanks a lot !

The artwork is really adorable and the game as a whole feels polished.

I like the concept, and the sprites are reaaaly cool :D The crates that spawn can sometime make the puzzle impossible, but it still fun to try to get the hell out xD

Great job!

Really hard and fun game! The level design is amazing, everything seems so perfectly timed to the point were you always have under 5 seconds to spare when completing a level. Graphics and music is good too. Well done!

xcvzxc 2018-08-13 16:59

difficult game, but not boring and really fun to play!

anton-potatis 2018-08-13 19:19

Very nice game! But pretty difficult. Good job!

dom-harris 2018-08-13 19:24

loved it, really well done! Great amount of challenge, there was an actual menu and the font was decent :wink: neat take on the theme, and wasn't scoped too much so you polished it really well. Great job!

jharler 2018-08-14 11:04

I like the simple, but coherent graphics. It works well in this game. Puzzle design was good and some stages required some thought and experimentation. My only point of contention is that the controls were a bit confusing and difficult. Overall, great entry. Nice work!

deaymon 2018-08-16 16:31

This game is pretty neat! I love the art style and the sound, although simple, added to the mood of the game. That secret level was HARD, but I liked that it put to the test all that I had learned in previous levels :grimacing:

The fact that everyone thinks your art is good except for you is a sign that you're improving as an artist : p. The puzzles are pretty open ended because the crates are so unpredictable. That's good because you can come up with many different solutions, but it also means that it's easier to accidentally stumble upon the solution without having to think about it. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the game.

talios 2018-09-04 15:41

Well, thanks to everyone for their constructive comments ! I heard you all : A bit too difficult, sometimes too random, and controls to rework would be my #1 priorities if I had to work on this game once again. Thanks again !

martintristan 2018-09-04 16:55

pretty cool game! and pretty hard too! i love the pixel art, simple and clean. the gradual introduction of mechanics is pretty good. the controls were a little tough to get used to and the movements of the crates seemed a little unpredictable. overall, a great game! good job!

Coool! Nice game :thumbsup: +++++
