I don't know what that little alien did to you, but he's so CUTE! I love that he squeaks every time I throw him out.

Just when I though the levels could get a bit more difficult I got stuck at the second last level for a while :smile: Very well executed puzzles! At the begining maybe a bit too simple, but as I sait the last two were on point. But it would have been cool if maybe at least one additional mechanic would have been introduced towards the ending, but you managed to get great levels nonetheless!

I think there is no way to get locked in a unsolvable state in a level, but a restart button would have given me some peace of mind :smile: BTW the embedded version does not work in Firefox, I get an `Uncaught DOMException: The operation is insecure.` in the console

Fantastic work on the audio! The bumping sounds are cool, the music is great and there is some nice space sounds.

@oadt Thanks for playing my game! I really wanted to add another mechanic, I had some cool ideas for it but sadly didn't have time. (Started on the game in with 14 hours left)

Maybe it was bugged but there is a restart button in the bottom left of the screen! I probably should've made it bigger, but like you said I added it just in case people get stuck in an unsolvable state.

I'll have a look at what's wrong on Firefox, hopefully not a big issue. Anyways thanks for the feedback!!

@jejkobb Ohhh yes, I see that button when I play it in fullscreen. By me it started windowed, so it got completely cut off (I enlargened the window to show the issue)

My Setup is Firefox on MacOS, so a pretty rare setup :sweat_smile: Probably the game always starts fullscreen on Windows/Linux?

@oadt Weird, this is what it looks like for me https://imgur.com/HDRJzlq

Oh interesting, this is definitely a problem of unity games in FF for macOS because I also just saw it on another game (Chrome and Safari work fine) Just wanted to let you know, I will not further bombard you comments section :sweat_smile:

Fun game. The graphics are very nice and all the puzzles were easy and very enjoyable. I like how the alien squeaks when you throw a box at his face =D I do agree the sound effects are very well made. Good stuff. Very nice work!

A super sweet and pretty fun little puzzle game. I like the visuals and the music. The gameplay is simple and pretty fun. I will say that there is a bit too many similar levels, and the final levels could have been a bit more difficult. But overall a very well made little jam game. Well done.

the only bad thing i could say about this game is that some of the puzzles according to difficulty were out of order, some were super easy to solve right after doing a tricky one. but other then that it was a fun game, i liked hearing the little squish alien thing bounce. too bad we had to keep chucking it into space. :D

Lil cozy puzzle game. I love grid based games like this and the character design is awesome.

Nice puzzle game! Alien is so cute. Well done!

Couldn't play the itch.io version with my computer since all the corners got cut off, but on this page it works just fine. It feels quite heartless to get rid of the alien :D Am I a monster now?

A nice slidey puzzle. The presentation is quite pleasant that it almost made me feel sorry for the little guy.

I had some resolution issues as others mentioned but I fixed it by zooming my web page out. Needed to do it through the firefox menu because the game stole the cursor, but it worked xD

Love it! Art is amazing. The cute 3d character, hand painted boxes and low resolution wall textures really speak to me :) The lights are a really nice detail too. Music really adds to the mood. Great job!

I enjoyed the idea that the answer to each puzzle was not obvious at first, made you think a little. could have used some differing obstacles or danger areas to add some complexity.

The first puzzle game that actually made me feel smart. The levels started out easy and were pretty doable all the time because of the limited amount of moving pieces. The music and graphics were all great and effective. I like the tween on the moving items. Great work!

very cute! The levels were challenging without being frustrating. The box/alien sound effects were lovely but the background music was a bit loud/droney. It's a space game, so...fair.

Regardless, I couldn't stop playing until I won. Great level progression. Overall solid entry.
