This game was very cute and the puzzle system very fun !
the game is so cute, nice pixel art style
The puzzle system is really cool! It was fun to come up with solutions for these sometimes kinda open-ended puzzles. The graphics were super cute and the audio helped set a good mood for the game. Good work!
@thomas-gelman Thanks! We hoped people would find all kinds of clever and unique solutions... and in my mind there's probably some kind of super optimal "two-click" solution to each one! Thanks for playing.
The pixel art style is great! The puzzles are well designed too, very impressive!
Very good game, I love the idea and the art is great. I'm surprised at how many levels they were able to add
Love the puzzle design, and not to spoil too much but "post-game" content in a jam game to this extent is super cool! Awesome stuff, reminds me of pikmin, trying to get poms to not to kill themselves at the start of certain levels. Great Job Team!
@i-cam YES! We love that you found it! Pikmin is def an inspiration for us and thank you for helping our tiny, helpful, self-destructive Poms get to safety.
非常棒的游戏，美术、音乐和玩法都很出色，各种机关的组合使得解密非常多元化This is an excellent game with outstanding graphics, music, and gameplay. The combination of various mechanisms makes the puzzles highly diverse.
Great game!!! The pixel art is adorable and the puzzle system was very cool, straightforward but has a ton of room for tricky moments in trying to perfect it. Also horrified at what big friend could do that I frantically swap tiles just trying to trap them when the level starts lol. Aiming to get rainbow for all the levels! -Swan
this pixel art amazing! vibe and music so comfortable
its so cute! i love the vibe it has :]
Nice game, I like how I was able to figure out what to do just by playing around. Reminded me somehow of lemmings :)
Game is absolutely adorable! The pixel art is top-notch, with every detail lovingly crafted, giving the game a cozy and charming vibe. The puzzle system is incredibly fun and cleverly designed, providing a balance between challenge and creativity. Each level feels like an opportunity to think outside the box, which kept me engaged throughout. I especially loved how intuitive it was to figure out the mechanics. It reminded me of classic games like Lemmings, where experimentation is key to solving each puzzle. Kudos to the team for creating such a polished and fun experience. Great job! 👏
Such a cute pixel art style, and the game is very complete! I really love these little creatures they are so cute!
That's a lot of levels! And then there are even more levels! That was a very pleasant surprise.
I think I passed some by using some shortcuts instead of facing the real challenge, especially once teleporters became available (like in levels 18 and 19). Also, in some levels I really wanted a pause button just to look at the puzzle and figure it out without everyone running around.
I loved how little creatures look like, they have very cute and charming, it's fun just to look at them moving.
Great job! Good luck to your team in your future projects!
https://youtu.be/3aNWSU6bI4Q I really enjoyed this game! The real-time aspect of the puzzles once the enemies were introduced made it a really unique puzzle game that was not only challenging to solve, but then required careful execution and timing. The mechanics have a few flaws that let you cheese the game a little bit on occasion, but most of the time I felt like I was solving the puzzle as intended. Like others have said, a pause button would have been nice at times, but I can also see the impact it would have on the synchronization so maybe that wouldn't work in this game. In any case, many of the little creatures were given as sacrifice to learn the flow of each level first before I made a move. Great pacing and level design. Love the art, really liked how the sounds had reverb and made you feel like you're inside the cave. Only complaint was the 'breaking glass' sound that starts around level 16 was kind of loud. Excellent game that had me engaged the whole way through!
A fun game. Beautiful and pleasant graphics, good sounds. No bickering) So far, the only game in which I have not noticed any bugs. Good job!
Really neat puzzle game that is sporting a lot of simple yet difficult mechanics to complete the puzzles, especially if you want to go for the 100% run and the difference there is really rewarding for players of all skill levels. Love the vibe of the music and it is overall a really polished product for a game jam!
@sviborg - Wow thanks for the incredible praise! I love that the classic puzzle vibes from something like Lemmings was felt, we were definitely trying to live up to such amazing heritage.
@goodwincek - You included a video! This is so cool, I love this. It's cool to watch how different people solve puzzles. I kind of like that there's a few puzzles that you felt you cheated on, makes me wonder how many levels could be optimized if you REALLY tried to figure out the 'best solves'
All this positive feedback is really heartwarming. Made my day!
A great game, with humorous little creatures. Good ambient music. I would play more.
This was way more than I was expecting, everything from the amount of levels to the art, music and design. Definitely in my top 3! I didn't pick out anything I would change, but that might have also been because I was having too much fun.
Great job, guys! I really adore that kind of graphics🤩 Gameplay is interesting and engaging, I enjoyed it! Really great job for the jam😙
Cool
I absolutely loved this game. As everyone else mentioned, the artstyle is incredible, simple yet cohesive and elegant, making it clear to read, perfect for a puzzle game. Speaking of, the puzzles were really well designed, although I am not certain I found the intended solution for some :skull:
The only thing I could complain of, maybe the initial zoom is a biiit too small, but I played this on a tiny laptop display with 2k resolution, so I don't quite know how the scaling worked.
Aside from that, absolutely great, engaging entry, that keeps you hooked until you beat all the levels!
There’s a lot to love here. The art is great and made me feel remorseful as I accidentally funnelled and flung the poor creatures into their grizzly demise (I’m pretty bad at puzzle games), having said considering that the various mechanics were introduced well and at a good pace it felt rather easy to learn how the game worked.
The audio direction was fantastic, with the music adding a dark undertone that paired well with the cutesy visual style. The way that musical layers were introduced as you worked through levels created a sense of mystery and progression. The reverb added an immersive quality. The sound effects, whilst minimalistic, also quite good.
There were only a few little niggles, like the initial zoom being a bit too far out for some displays (but this is fine given that you can dial in the zoom to your liking, a great feature). Others have mentioned a pause function, but I also think the frantic scramble to swap or rotate tiles to stop the little creatures from getting into harm’s way adds something interesting. You should all be proud of what you’ve managed to create in just three days, well done.
Very fun little games, it reminds me of some of the games of my childhood, and the fun of simple spins and swaps
Loved the art style and the game was great once I understood what was happening. Would have liked to have seen an in game tutorial or popups or something like that. Good job though! :)
Really polished game! The visuals and the somehow creepy atmosphere give this game a cool personality.
The game was easy to understand and you introduced new mechanics step by step, which is a good sign of level design.
A minor thing that confused me in the beginning. I didn´t understand that I could use the right button for spinning the tiles. Would be nice to see it ingame, because I had to look it up on your game page.
But aside from that everything is fine! :)
Absolutely crazy what you guys have done in this short amount of time. The art, the level design, the sounds. Everything feels so damn polished, its insane. Phenomenal works you four! :)
Adorable art style. It is a brilliant puzzle game with smart design. But i'm stupid, it took a lot of time in the 2nd level. I love it anyway!
Really well made and very polished. The first couple of levels had me going "This is way too easy". I was proven wrong though. I love the art style and the unique puzzle mechanic. The music was also a great fit.
The only critique I have is that a web build of the game would make it easier to playtest for people
Super cute game! Fun puzzle mechanics as well. Finished 12 levels at one stand and will probably come back and finish the rest later today.
One suggestion in my opinion is that it might be better to add a start button at the very beginning to let the player spectate the whole map and everything in it, cuz right now the very first few seconds is always super intense and it almost feel like a test of how fast you can swap certain tiles instead of being strategic and plan things out. (but maybe that's by design I am not sure haha)
Overall a great game! 5 out of 5!
The art style is simply amazing. I really find this to be a cool game that I've enjoyed playing!
Stellar job! The puzzle designs are great and with original mechanics, visuals are cute, go well with the sounds and vibe, overall awesome!
great pixel art!! also the puzzles are fun
This is a great puzzle game, I can't believe you guys did so many levels, and introduced the new stuff really smoothly!! Great work!
Got up to level 20. Super creative and its interesting to see a puzzle game that's so open like this. Love the sound effects
Fun puzzle game! I liked the atmosphere! I am quite perplexed on the open nature of them. I one side it is original (at least I haven't played too many other puzzle game with that many solution) and quite relaxing, on the other I found that it made some puzzle not really "puzzle" as I did not really have to think to beat it, just move some pieces around. Great submission!
Very interesting puzzle bad, but I got a little confused at the beggining with gameplay
The amount of content and polish for a GameJam game is insane! It looks incredible, the sound is great, I did not encounter any bugs and the levels feel like they have been tested and planned carefully.
Overall maybe THE best game I played this jam, a bit more levels and this could count as a fully fledged game. This definitely is a contender for the nr. 1 spot this jam!
Love the game! Is there by any chance an itch.io site?
Great game! Also super cute aesthetics and characters. I am very impressed with the length of this game. Plenty of content to stay entertained for a while. Nice job! 👏
Really cool game! It's beautiful, music is great, I especially like the added instruments when reaching the goal. Puzzles are interesting and well made. I find the puzzle mechanic to be a bit tedious after a while tho, but that may just not be my taste. Really nice polish, everything looks and feel great. Great work, congrats!
Great job!
I don't know why you called it Porn Planet
Must admit I felt a bit mislead
I'm youthful so I made it work,
but did have to think of big breasts
This game is super fun, love the artstyle and the gameplay is innovative while self explanatory. The additional elements that get added on as you play to complicate things (like the cat, which I love the sprite for) keep the game engaging throughout, and suggest the sky's the limit for what could be waiting for you in the next room. There was a sort of surrealist vibe to the whole thing - aided heavily by the music - that I really liked. What you guys were able to do with the limited time you were given is seriously impressive. Great work.
This was a joy to play, the animation and level design were fantastic. The game really made me think and I loved all the different mechanics you were able to manage in a ludum dare. Excellent stuff!
Great game! Just want to point out how lovely and full of character your tile looks. While at the same time full of visual clarity. As an artist I am struggling with it myself which is why it is the first thing popped up in my mind.
@yufan-lu Thank you so much for your lovely praise of the art, I really appreciate it!! It took me a while to get the tiles just right- I had to search for more high-contrast color ramps in my palette that didn't look terrible with each other lol! Thankfully I think it was readable enough in the end. Your game looks so pretty so I'm excited to take a look at it!!
Honestly, I really love this game, inside and out! The art is absolutely adorable and fits the theme perfectly. I wish I could create such a polished well-crafted design too.
The great level design really made the game stand out！I super enjoy the work！
I really enjoy your game; every aspect of it is just right. Whether it's the graphics, character design, music and sound effects, or level design, they all come together perfectly. I have to say this is the most comfortable game I've played, and I truly love your game.
Very cute and polished! I really dug the little touches like the different creatures having different movements. Puzzle progression felt very smooth and clear what was expected. Really nice in the time.
Very good puzzle game, I really liked the style of the game, the pixelart is rally good and does a great job at making it feel like an alien world, especially with the track that plays
the levels were designed clever ways and made use of the stage gimmicks in fun ways. I really like the tile moving mechanic, it allows for a lot of creativity. I probably solved a lot of the puzzles in ways that weren't intended lol. I tried to go for rainbow on all levels, I gave up on 20 because I failed too many times
I enjoyed this entry a lot!
