Simple but well-implemented central mechanic. Nice job with the difficulty curve too!

Short and simple is a good thing for LD and this game succeeds in that. The mechanic is creative and fits well with the theme.

The clicking mechanic seemed odd at first, but then I realized that the stableness was locked once the treasure was obtained. So it became a game of setting up the path back. It was novel in that way and pretty fun!

A lot of the levels feel like they can be beaten pretty easily without using the central mechanic. I believe the final level only allowed a single ground piece to be locked, but the first blocked can be held up to the run around is not used. More levels would have been fun to play around with!

Overall great job on making this game!

Nice unstable theme usage XD.

Very fun!

Short but special. Good job!

Neat little game - definitely captures the unstable theme well, and a cool core mechanic! Would love to see some more levels!

Short but sweet puzzle game, liked it a lot! The core mechanic immediately hooked me in to want to play more.

Pleasant little game! I didn't release at first I could reinforce unstable blocks (who reads instructions anyways, right?) but once I figured it out the game was pretty fun. The game is pretty easy as most levels could be solved by placing a single reinforcement.

I would have enjoyed some music or sound.

Overall, this is a great entry!

Highly respected Theme. The game was pretty easy, but the levels work very well. I would have liked more levels ^^ Good job doing this game, he was really fun ;)

Simple puzzle game, but an enjoyable one. And additional points for making the game in Godot :smile:!

Would be nice to have more levels and more challenging puzzles, but we all understand the constraints of the jam. The core concept is solid though and could make a nice full puzzle game! The only thing that surprised me was that I could no longer make a platform unstable again after I picked up the treasure and everything fell down. I'm not sure if that's by design or a bug.

Some music would really help build the atmosphere here.

Nice little game, with pleasant graphics and clever mechanics. However I think I cut corners in some levels during walkthrough.

Good foundations built in the short time available. Just needs more level design and sound to make it a really compelling game.

OMG when I found out you can jump... :face_palm: Love the game. And the main character and animations was adorable. Thanks for sharing!

Nice concept! I like the simple and easily understandable gameplay, as well as the difficulty increase upon passing levels. I think all this game is really missing is more levels and some sfx/music. Overall, nice simple entry!

This is a cool proof-of-concept, would love to see it expanded with more levels! The mechanic is pretty interesting.

The controls were a bit awkward, would've been better for jump to be on up arrow, so I could play with both keyboard and mouse together.

@xlambein Thanks for the review

You could have played with A and D to move and use the space bar to jump. I should have explained that somewhere, sorry 😅.
