I think that was hard, but a very cool idea. I like how certain pieces have to stay together like the chairs.

micahtron 2018-08-14 02:58

Great idea. Was able to get the final large box halfway in. The "scrunch" mechanics took a while to figure out, as did the view sliding. Fun game though. I always love a good slider puzzle! Nice job.

Woo, I finally got it! First I didn't realise you could stack the chairs together lol. Great idea, and use of theme. Really nice artwork too!

caerul 2018-08-14 04:30

Definitely harder than I thought and took a bit to figure out how things worked. It's a great use of the theme :)

Nice one, calix ! I didn't know you participated in the LD :p

gmaker 2018-08-14 19:56

I quit! I give up! Is it even possible? ;) Good job!

I really like most things about this game, very challenging and some really good art! Definitely one of the strongest games I have played so far! (It took me ages to get part the first bit)

dps2004 2018-08-14 19:58

the player is one heck of a hoarder lol

earnso 2018-08-14 20:27

The artwork and concept are really good.

calixjumio 2018-08-14 21:46

It is possible @gmaker !, the description on itch.io has the trick on the last hint, but it has to do with the chairs!, anyways thank you very much for trying! \o/ <3

pinoza 2018-08-14 23:54

It's an original idea, but if I'm allowed, I think the game would have worked better at individual levels, which are increasingly complicated and using tileable squares instead of physics, but Good job I like the art!

calixjumio 2018-08-15 00:01

@pinoza Yeah I can see it, didn't have enough time, I would have loved to introduce proper UI and a character on the congratulations screen too, and a hint system, but oh well, thanks for the feedback!

webthingee 2018-08-15 00:01

Challenging!!! Puzzle Design is so hard. Nice Going!

pohko 2018-08-15 00:02

Very cool take on a sliding puzzle game. I really like the graphics. I found it pretty challenging but overall a lot of fun!

andrey-ugolnik 2018-08-15 00:08

Game rules isn't clear for me.

calixjumio 2018-08-15 00:16

Yeah I wanted to explain without words with no success @andrey-ugolnik , you are meant to push the blocks outside of the storage rooms inside the rooms, specially the big brown box.

swini 2018-08-15 00:24

It is quite difficult but i like the sprites. Cool idea with the big room. Go on with this game!!

frank-gevaerts 2018-08-15 00:26

I did need the hints, but it was fun. I agree that introductory levels would be good.

thecommonthug 2018-08-15 00:26

We were going to make a game almost exactly like this except with a refrigerator and food so I'm really happy to play this and see an actual implementation of the idea. Totally understand the challenge of actually making this style game which made me really appreciate what you got done. Also, nice graphics. Well made.

calixjumio 2018-08-15 00:30

thanks @thecommonthug and oh man I tried to make it smooth but it was hard to code!!, so I ended up with game maker's default wobbly physics n_n; , I should have used a refrigerator instead of the 3 boxes!

calixjumio 2018-08-15 00:31

Ohh also I would love to play yours but I don't have windows qq @thecommonthug

2018-08-15 00:33

Very nice game, I liked the style and it was also well done. Maybe it isnt very innovative but a nice game overall, deserved good ratings. Keep it up m8 :)

nolic0321 2018-08-15 00:50

really loved this puzzle! I love the slider/escape puzzles and this was one a doozer! Lots of "figuring out" mechanics but when you get it it's not too difficult to solve :) Good use of puzzle shapes and the art is awesome! Loved the little cat too :)

nikasxirtla 2018-08-15 08:21

Great puzzle game! Loved the art style. It's kind of hard though.

matank 2018-08-15 08:22

Very fun! I got very close but eventually couldn't do it. Cool variation on the theme! I think the controls were a bit rough but it was very ambitious and worked relatively game for such a short time to implement this complicated mechanics.

el-metallico 2018-08-15 09:20

Wow, I really like the game - very cool puzzle, but something is wrong with the chairs - like they moving only in pair.

badabooom63 2018-08-15 10:48

All of my friends thought that my game is too hard,I need to show them yours :D Great idea ad great puzzle

calixjumio 2018-08-15 15:12

They are suposed to do so @el-metallico !, have you ever tried to pull chairs from a storage room? They get stuck! also I didn't find a better analogy hehe, I had that piece on paper and didn't find a better fit, thanks for playing!

jesterseraph 2018-08-16 01:45

Really interesting puzzle idea, haven't played anything like it before! It was definitely a bit challenging though, but had fun!

tomg 2018-08-16 03:11

> On the rightest room you can put together the four chairs and freeing up two very needed spaces

DAMMIT, that's what it was.

Nice art, frustrating game! Love it.

saoi-games 2018-08-16 05:48

omg @saoi-games thank you very much!, its super valuable feedback!! you deserve all the <3 <3 <3 also thanks to mads for pointing it out <3

shozou 2018-08-17 20:52

Hey! As I promised earlier, I played the game off stream for a tad longer. I, unfortunately, haven't managed to beat it, ran out of patience too early. :( If you would wish to make a game post jam that would stick to the similar theme, I would certainly recommend adding a hint button for dummies like me. ;) Still, had fun with this, the graphics looked very nice as well. Perhaps it really is not a game fully for me, but I still really enjoyed it!

calixjumio 2018-08-17 21:20

@shozou yeah I was aiming for that but had no time to even write them, thats why they are so vague on the itch.io site, but tyvm for playing !
