This game had really good atmosphere, nailed the theme and overall great presentation. It was also short enough to play through and had some spins with moving blocks and stuff. Great job!

sassages 2019-04-29 19:42

Cool atmosphere, nice design and well-polished :)

nathaniel-jensen 2019-04-29 19:43

Very good puzzle concept. Had to stop and think on a few of them. I also liked how you changed things up from puzzle to puzzle to keep it interesting. Good job!

dick-claus 2019-04-29 19:43

Amazing logical game. I like puzzles. The sound was great and life advises also were right.

It can be longer game, you can add more features like meeting a partner and so on. Well done!

amykos 2019-04-29 19:47

Good idea but i can't pass level 2 (I am really bad at puzzle games)

fibonacci1321 2019-04-29 20:13

Some great puzzles in here! Excellent take on the theme. Keep up the good work!

coachsisyphus 2019-04-29 20:14

I've never had so much fun growing old and dieing. XD Nice work!

thermacon 2019-04-29 20:17

Amazing! Really made me think. Pretty addicting :smile:

paragonraptors 2019-04-29 20:21

Fantastic work! Fun puzzles and great overall mood. Loved it!

kemp 2019-04-29 20:21

great work! beautiful tone/feel, would like to play more

jozgames 2019-04-29 20:30

Um puzzle bem feito.

Achei bem diferente isso de se mover distancias diferentes dependendo da idade.

Eu acho que se vocĂȘ investir nessa ideia da pra fazer um bom jogo.

antztakeover 2019-04-29 20:33

I had so much fun playing this game! Really interesting mechanics and overall the game felt very polished. The level design was also really good and took a little while to figure out. Cool mechanics and great fun! I'd love to see more levels!

digitallimestone 2019-04-29 20:47

Wow! That first puzzle really surprised me: I didn't think it was possible.

Great game. I'd love to see more levels!

a-coltzz 2019-04-29 22:51

Great game nice to have some brain teasers so great job making it. If you want try out my game too :v:

lucas-kauff 2019-04-30 02:11

Wow great puzzle game, I can't figure the level 3 out... Good job !

spaceface14dev 2019-04-30 03:21

Sweet game! I really enjoyed the puzzles and thought it was a great use of a theme I, at least, surely was stuck on for quite a while.

gimblll 2019-04-30 06:22

Full little puzzle, great work on fitting the theme in it.

florian-klein 2019-04-30 07:38

Very nice. I loved the ambiance and the puzzles!

alienplay 2019-04-30 11:20

You really nailed the theme. And you also used those phrases like 'the path isn't always clear' and 'some goals are impossible to achieve' really good to explain the gameplay. Also, the whole atmosphere is nice and music and sound as well. Great job!

dumivid 2019-04-30 15:06

Finally an original puzzle game with good sound design. Great job dude, it enjoyed and finished your game, so far, this is the only "deep" kind of game I've encountered this LD. Keep it up.

taddl 2019-04-30 17:49

It fits the theme very nicely and is a very enjoyable puzzle game.

joemanaco 2019-04-30 18:59

I really like puzzle games and you've come up with a very clever concept which is also quite philosophical (smiled when I discovered that 'be perfect' isn't reachable). Would love to play more levels :)

konh 2019-04-30 19:11

Nice game! It's good if you put link to that page on itch.io, because somebody can find it here and can't find this page from it.

caevv 2019-04-30 20:06

really cool puzzle game!

ariake81 2019-04-30 20:08

excellent concept, really clever ideas :) the blocks that slide away from you made me chuckle :)

xmpted 2019-04-30 20:13

Exactly my kind of game :) Enjoyable puzzle mechanic, obviously pretty short but shows you the concepts nicely. I'm not getting "your life is CURRENCY" super clearly, but it was a tough theme. I've only just started paying games, but this is my fav so far - the music/sounds are really nice and atmospheric too.

sinitax 2019-04-30 20:16

Original and well thought out concept! Graphics and sound design creates an atmosphere that complements the puzzles. Love how you interpreted the theme!

kpedatte 2019-04-30 20:19

Nice game. It's a pretty smart design !

wassim 2019-04-30 20:29

Amazing game, Great design and solid concept!

rancoud 2019-04-30 21:26

Good Atmosphere Too short, I want more levels :)

abraxas-interactive 2019-04-30 22:02

Wow, brilliant job! Really loved this all around. It has never felt better to be "good enough."

deprecat 2019-04-30 22:59

A really cool take on ice-sliding puzzles! I feel as though puzzles are hard to design for jams since they take such careful consideration and planning, but you've done great here! Would play more of this if you ever made more levels

velvetlobster 2019-05-01 02:16

wooow now THAT is a nice idea of a game, simple, effective, perfect!

plexsoup 2019-05-01 04:24

Great puzzle game! Nicely polished.

anna-karpova 2019-05-01 12:22

Very atmospheric cool game! Nice work!

2019-05-01 13:13

aj karamaba! great game!

rudra-nil-basu 2019-05-01 21:52

One of the best entries I have played today, nice puzzles and great take on the theme!

boxedmeatrevolution 2019-05-02 16:22

Ah! It ended so soon. I want more! Instead I guess I'll need to learn the lesson that you can't always reach all your goals :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Honestly, the puzzles you designed were very well thought out. You set clever traps by ensuring that the "obvious way" wouldn't be the "right way". Then, when I did find the "right way" I got to feel clever. This is good puzzle design :thumbsup:

Aside from the puzzles themselves, the game was minimalist, but nothing detracted from the experience. Though the visuals were a bit rough, the audio was on point. Overall this is one of the best puzzle games I've played this Ludum Dare.

ropedog 2019-05-03 00:23

This is a fantastic example of what a puzzle game can be. Figuring out the solution to each level was a lot of fun, and I really wanted more! Cool color scheme, and the audio was soothing. It all tied together to create a mood, and I really enjoyed that aspect. I also liked how the movement of the player would correspond to musical tones. Great entry! You should consider expanding this and adding more levels!

spirits 2019-05-03 17:55

Nice game!, smooth game play and difficulty of each puzzle were perfect. It would had been great if there were about 10 levels. Congrats!

twan-mul 2019-05-03 23:48

great puzzler, well thought out in the level design for a gamejam. congrats!

kaisean-games 2019-05-06 09:06

Very very nice. Although... I couldn't go pass the 'good enough' level. Obviously I am not good enough. :smile:

randomphantom 2019-05-09 12:55

A little shorter than I hoped, but what was there was thoughtful and very well presented! Neat that you had the theming for each stage to be different which kept things interesting.

coleslaughter 2019-05-10 00:18

Always ambitious to do a puzzle game for a game jam, since you really don't have much time to playtest and hit that "sweet spot" for difficulty.

But hot damn, you absolutely succeeded with this one! Simple premise, easy to understand controls, pleasant visuals and sounds, and a *perfect* difficulty curve.

And on top of that, you added some story and symbolism as well! Absolutely dynamite job, this is one of my favorites, now! Would love to see this expanded upon.

tommyflower 2019-05-21 08:06

Genius game! You managed to make a great puzzle and at the same time it's full of meaning in real life, it makes you think and chuckle while you play. Amazing entry!
