Funny idea, challenging game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 45 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/VLDt7yHE5-M

Great idea, i enjoyed playing the game, the last level was a bit difficult until i crushed nothing straight trough the wall at the right border and puzzled it around the wizard afterwards... dunno if it was intended to make it this easy tho xD the grafics are cool, nice style :v:

I really this is one of the more unique game concepts I played this jam. It is simple but really well thought. My only criticism is that the art style of the wizard and the other object is not consistent with the rest of the game. It could have been something very simple as well it would make the mood much better. Overall nice game, congratz,

I like the gameplay. Sound would have been nice, (as always) :) But still, well done.

Overall: Great gameplay but too short!

Fun: This gameplay is really fun. Why does it end so soon? You totally could have made another 10 levels and it wouldn't have gotten boring.

Innovation: Good; having to manage both position and rotation makes the the gameplay unique.

Theme: I really like this interpretation!

Humor: Good - I laughed at the ending... excellent commentary on society, etc.

Mood: Would be improved with music & sound effects.

Well done ! :) It would have been better with some sound effects when nothing hits the walls :)

Note: When you finish the game, if you restart it right away, when you get to the first level, there's the "Move mouse to the Nothing" message but nothing happens when I do it. Animations are still running, but I just can't get the Nothing.

The text is interested and nice and the character there is charismatic ... I confess I found it far too satisfying to just make the polygon break all the walls I possibly could to care about the points lolol perhaps there could be an alternative playthrough where you would gather points by breaking things instead than trying to keep them from breaking

Very nice game! I could see this being expanded into a whole game. The lack of sound effects was definitely a bummer, though. And I personally would have used A and D instead of Q and E to rotate the blocks.

Neat concept. Just needs to be a little more forgiving, as its currently pretty difficult traversing without damaging any of the level. One way to counter this would be to a) make the nothing pieces you move smaller, and b) have more moving obstacles which force you to move, causing you to take more care. Great work though! :thumbsup:

Really tight squeezes make this harder than it needs to be, though the health is pretty generous to make up for this. Multiple high score categories based on how much health is left at the end and how fast you do the level could be interesting!

Awesome game! Very fun as a co-op game aswell!

Pretty cool game! I liked the story, very smart! On the final level you can cheat and go right instead of left, and still not lose.
