Game handles poorly, even when I knew what to do the overly touchy movement made it almost impossible to accomplish.

Fun concept. Wish there was more content. :)

I love puzzle games and this is a very clever puzzle idea! Im sure this would make for a great full game.

Really enjoyable. I have never used Stencyl before so I can't comment as to the limitations of its ability to implement movement, but I found it a little difficult to accurately figure out where I should from. Some jumps I seemed to be fine with jumping from the block I was standing on others I found I couldn't make unless I was standing basically in mid air with just the hit-boxes of the player and floor touching. All this being said you made a really great game. Not only does it match the theme, but its interesting to play and looks really nice. If it controlled a little better I would put this on par with some indie games I have bought and paid for.

Really nice!

Sometimes hard :lifter: But its good

This is great! Controls are a bit touchy but I got used to them. Cool concept, well executed.

A nice idea and a nice stack of levels to show it off in. With movement controls that were a bit less twitchy (i.e., give the player a bit of momentum and perhaps slow things down by about 15%), I could see myself playing and quite enjoying a full 50+ level single-screen platformer built around these ideas.

Cool game, thank you for including HTML5 and for giving us a mute button! Also great level design and neat scene transitions!

I love super difficult platformers, and this definitely fits the category. Awesome fun, loved playing it.

ruby-interactive-games 2019-10-07 04:38

Really love the jumping, feels weighty!

pizzasgood 2019-10-07 06:26

I love how tight this game is. Quick little levels, speedy respawn, zippy movement, clean minimalist art. This is the good stuff.

A little frustratingly tough but I enjoyed it. Quite emotive for a little blue square

noobexception 2019-10-07 17:26

Really nice game! At some points it was annoying and frustrating, when I just stopped jump on the ceiling.. Though the minimalistic design is lovely! :smiley:

I think this is the most solid game I've played in this jam. Tight controls, fast respawn, good difficulty curve, efficient flat design, it's one of those games that just work.

100th-coin 2019-10-07 19:14

Oh cool! I love the use of the theme! The levels are super well designed too! Great game!

thetacbanana 2019-10-07 20:07

Cool use of the theme! wish there was some background music, and the jump is hard to get used to (there is minimal airtime)

thomas-bringer 2019-10-07 20:16

Nice game! I especially love the powerups combined with the clever level design. Great entry! :D

dumivid 2019-10-07 20:20

To my surprise, the game was much more fun to play than I anticipated. I would suggest doing something with spike segments, they are overall frustrating, but besides that a solid entry. Try next time to make the level harder, not longer. The game "should" feel like a puzzle, but it feels more like a generic platformer. If you work on your level design it might come out as something very entertaining. Good luck with your next project.

trmrddr 2019-10-07 22:51

Impressed with you getting 15 levels in! Progressively harder as they go. Good job!

mathemagician 2019-10-07 22:53

Like others have mentioned: the controls are a little finicky, and the level design can be pretty unforgiving at times, but this plays like a pretty polished game with a super clean aesthetic. Kept me interested enough to play through all of it. Nicely done!

Very good puzzle platformer, perfect for the theme.

odeyalko 2019-10-08 13:49

addictive, did not go beyond the level with spikes. It looks nice, good physics.

nax-89 2019-10-08 14:28

Nice game, the 15 stages are pretty good, I really like the level design. A little tough on some jumps and when you get de speed boost. But enjoyable.

narffy 2019-10-08 14:42

I'm addict ! Very good puzzle game, and very good level design and nice theme interpretation. Good job

irock 2019-10-08 18:54

I enjoyed it! Very snappy and straightforward.

I think one improvement you could make is to have a tiled background so you can measure the height of your jumps. Sometimes it's difficult to tell where you're able to jump to, so you wind up just trying it out to see.

This game just give me a new idea of how to create some new platformer game: break down the basic elements and arrange them in the box sa the challenge or objective player need to realize. This is an excellent game I have seen in thie LD45. Really nice work!

mimi522 2019-10-11 01:55

Loved it! Best game i tried so far and the only one i actually played until the end!

2022-04-18 04:04

This game is awesome! Also, I just found out that [Duck Life](https://ducklife.online) is a fun game about the world of lovely ducks

2022-06-26 15:03

The game is pretty cool! Just another one wordle-like game which is exciting too [absurdle](https://absurdle.online/)
