Man this game had me hooked! Very well executed!

I would have liked a clever little ending though, this one felt a bit underwhelming.

Overall very nice entry! Well done

Awesome little platformer. I did have some trouble with the floating platforms (I think it was more a triggering thing) but worked it out in the end.

Love the sounds, and the water effect is great!

Well Done!

Cool game! Good game design made this game pretty entertaining. Art simple but pretty good.

This is fantastic! Wonderful art and fun game mechanics.

I like the mechanics! Too bad the game ends as soon as we get familiar with them, I was getting hooked. :disappointed:

Sometimes it's a bit difficult to take and place dirt, but it's not a big deal once we get used to it.

The character design and the graphics are simple but very well done.

This is one of the few games I **actually completed** in this game jam. It is simple, and it has broken stuff, but those problems are only problems for polish freaks, yeah, the jump pads might be op, the way dirt is placed may seem awkward. But **IT WORKS**, everything here works to make the gameplay and the little puzzles **perfect**. You did not lose time on thing that are not essential, this game has nice puzzles, is atmospheric af and the mechanics are wonderful, I did not lose any time with challenges that were too dificult, I could figure out everythin by myself, and I felt great. Congratulations, your game deserves a lot more praise than it has

Your game has a lot of potential, it has its own visual identity and strong mechanics. The movements feel good, finishing it is satisfying.

I had some difficulty understanding the controls, sometimes blocking my path by mistake and trying to remove the chunk.

Good job, that was a pleasant experience.

Loved the idea, and amazing graphics. I hope you keep this game up after the jam.

I liked the puzzles and the movement, the water related puzzle wasn't super clear at first but I did figure it out in the end, and I really enjoyed the general aesthetic. The visuals are somewhat simple but the are super polished which I love. Over all very nice.

Interesting thing! Really liked the gameplay and design. It would be great to add some music for the atmosphere. All in all, great work!

Love the character, hate the blocks placement! :smile: I assume you were planning to add some mobs and more puzzles. E.g. water and fire both feel like an interesting direction. Especially if you can splash them in a short range. Keep it up!

Here is my playthrough:

Another very good one. Great idea, graphic and level design. Small game but pretty nice for 10 minutes.

The character reminds me of a certain well known indie bug, but it looks really cute. The aesthetics in general look great. There is some cool aspects about the dash storing a material that you can use later, there is some cool level design ideas you can wrap your head around to develop some cool interactions. An eerie song would fit this game pretty well, also the waterfall sound might be a little harsh on the ears. <3

This game is just oozing personality and style. The bucket mechanic was also super unique, though it could use a little more polish with regards to ease of use (particularly when dumping rocks down to make platforms). All-in-all, I had a lot of fun with this one!
