I like the challenge! Nice job!!
I like the music! It was really pretty fun to play!
Love game jam games with a leaderboard :) Very smooth feel to the game.
The music was, sadly, unoriginal, but you used it very well in the game!
Neat game! Nicely done, though it would be nice to get an overview of the level at the start so it is not as much guessing as to where you need to go.
Realy awesome game!! I love the game concept and execution, very minimal but predictable and with fast learning curve, and really challenging! Great work! I did find a few bugs around the level resetting system, where I was even able to fly up without the timer starting ;) I suggest you'll take a closer look on the level resseting if you want to fix the game for larger reach :)
Nice game, the controls felt good and the levels increased in difficulty nicely. The only thing I can suggest is maybe allowing for zooming out the camera a bit more; I found it hard to see what was coming!
Nice work!
I had to eventually give up on the spiral stage 😅 The collisions/health ultimately felt pretty unforgiving, as just rattling gently on a wall would sometimes rack up a ton of damage, but smashing in at high speed and bouncing off was not a s bad, so it felt a little dissonant.
Had a lot of fun !
Wow, that was hard. But good! The movement felt challenging and fluid, but not unfair, and I was able to largely adjust to it and hit #1 on a few levels. The music choice was great and fit the game perfectly. My only real gripe is that the falling boxes spawn too quickly and I found it way too hard to avoid them when I needed to, but I made it through. Really fun and well done!
A nice twist on a classic game. That second pedestal level is hard! It did take me a second to realise that the thrusters weren't pushing the box in the direction they were facing but once I understood that, the controls were smooth. Maybe having the thrusters get bigger or smaller based on their angle would make it more obvious that the arrow keys move the box in a constant direction and don't control individual thrusters.
The rotating box makes it difficult but very satisfying when you manage to wrangle a spinning box back under control. I liked the amount and variety of the levels as well. You've obviously thought a fair amount about the level design and difficulty curve.
Like @bmanstudio I also noticed a couple of weird things with level resetting. I also noticed that the boxes didn't clear from the level on restart and sometimes my box would take damage immediately at the start of the level. Small things though overall. Nice job!
Simple concept but executed well and the leaderboard made it a fun challenge to get in quickly and carefully. Good job!
It keeps getting harder each level but also fun to play. Level designs are really nice. Good job!
Nice amount of content and a decent difficulty curve! I know the controls are supposed to be chaotic and unwieldy but it felt a bit extreme. I would've lower the velocity a little. Was still very fun to try to navigate the levels though.
The music was kind of irritating and didn't really add anything to the game. Would have been better off just using sound effects imo.
Also completely resetting the level each time would have been ideal as the spawning box hazards started to pile up if you failed a level a few times.
Overall, a fun little game chaotic game!
This is really nifty! I wasn't expecting to be controlling the crate, much less with rocket thrusters! Super cool!
