Really awesome puzzle game! It felt like the kind of game I'd sit up for hours playing as a kid. I'd love to see you develop this further! Good luck!

Really awesome puzzle game! It felt like the kind of game I'd sit up for hours playing as a kid. I'd love to see you develop this further! Good luck!
Somehow this game combined the nostalgia of old Commodore 64 games with the nostalgia of old PSX games. Took me a try to figure out what to do, but then breezed through the levels. Nice work. :)
I love the retro feeling of the game! Puzzles were relatively well thought out and I liked your take on the summoning theme haha.
This is a very cute puzzle with graphics that remind me that i'm old... Took me some time to figure out the gameplay, a step by step tutorial would be helpful. After that it was just my skills. Good levels, great job with submission and good luck!
Great graphics! It's an interesting combination of a logic game and Super Monkey Ball (sometimes it's a little annoying that the ball keeps moving when changing characters :P), but overall, it's a pretty fun game. In my opinion, the dash ability isn't very enjoyable. While it's cool to have some additional power, I think the game would be better without it (I couldn't pass level 6).
One small suggestion for the future: remember to try to loop the music so that you avoid the 'stop/start' effect.
Adorable art and I really like the combination of old school puzzle design with the frantic platforming. I would have really liked if it had saved your platform placement because sometimes I'd have to redo the platforming gaming many times even though I places the platform correctly because I was so bad at controlling the dog. It got frustrating having to re-place the platform every time I fell.
This was fun! I liked the graphics, sound effects, and music. This is an interesting "choose your own path" type of Monkey Ball game that fits the theme. One suggestion would be to be able to reset the level without needing to fall off of it. Nice job!
Really fun game, agree with some of the others, level 6 was very difficult! But still great fun
Such a fun idea to play with! Loved the adorable art and the potential behind summoning platforms and switching between several characters.
It would be helpful to have an option to quickly restart a level if one made a mistake or wanted to skip a cutscene. This way maybe it'd be even easier to stay in the flow of iterating through different ideas.
The creativity in this game is fantastic, good job!
Fun game, thank you for making it!
Nice monkeyball vibe from the gameplay and an inventive mechanic of building things in the levels and then playing them. The music and chunky resolution made me think of games for the original playstation, neat.
Absolutely love the sound design! The character responses are so funny and I couldn't help but mimic the wizard every time. :laughing:
The levels were also really fun! Easy to figure out the solution, but tricky to execute after the first few levels! I had a lot of fun playing! Amazing work
Only critique i have from my experience was the music loop getting a little repetitive when I started getting frustrated with level 7! I generally prefer arrow keys for non-FPS game movement so I had a bit of trouble with the controls when it needed a lot of dexterity to do everything left handed. Shadows on the clouds would have also been helpful for judging my position with the chained Bounce blocks too.
But amazing work for 48 hr! The graphics were spot on - I'm a big fan of pixelated 3D and you really nailed that style!
amazing, perfect, no notes
Just wow. It's hard to believe that this was a compo submission :smile: I hope you expand this idea further! There's a lot of potential to go forth.
I like how everything works, cute dog and flying wizard, the enviroment, sound design, everything is just fits everything! (also nintendo ish shortcuts are really cool, and multi use case in the last level, cool, too!
ps: it's sad that ancient wizard's magic hamsterball can not prevent his little pet from high tech lazer..
Really good platformer puzzle game, good submission! I especially like the dog suspended in a sphere, thought that was funny. And I also had a go at developing a speedrun strat for the last level (managed to complete it only using one jump pad, no walls or dashes needed). Had a lot of fun!
Challenging but extremely cool puzzle game ! The rolling dog gave me Marble Madness vibes haha. Really had to scratch my head for a couple of the later levels. I LOVE the dreamy looking environment and characters.
Very solid entry overall, well done !
I like this game! You guys are great!
Good concept, nice visuals and style. It felt very cohesive.
I really like minimalistic style with low resolution, simple shapes and particles. I think it really makes the game stand out, it looks so clear and cool.
I got a little bit stuck at level 2 because I couldn't figure out that I could place walls. I kept trying to go left around the lasers but kept failing. Fortunately, I figured out the way to change platforms with E key. After beating level 2, the game was a breeze. I appreciated variety of different levels and challenges.
Great job!
The gameplay makes you forget about minimalistic graphics! It’s very cute, it immediately immerses you in the atmosphere and makes you use your brain! I want more levels!
I really liked this! I _did_ get annoyed with the controls/difficulty and stopped before finishing level 7, but I guess that's more about my nerves than the game. :smile:
Awesome work with the graphics and everything working so smoothly! I also liked the puzzles, and you had made plenty in such a short time. Really good entry!
Cute graphics in a challenging puzzle game :smile: gets a thumbs up from me :thumbsup:
Really fun little puzzle platformer, I'm so used to these being 2D that I was struggling to work out if this counted :joy:
Impressive amount of content, and not too many mechanics either, so you get to explore the different ways they can hinder/help you. I do wish it were possible to respawn the dog if you fell off, instead of needing to re-place all the platforms - especially if I already knew they were in the right place, but that's a minor gripe, I enjoyed this one a lot!

solid and cool little game! tickles my super monkey ball bone, and it's cool that i can 'edit' the level and switch between two characters with different mechanics. nice one
I uploaded my playthrough to YouTube - hope it's useful for you!
