Great concept, hurt my head a little though, especially when there were stacked shadows :P

Really cool idea, once I ran into the level with the over hang and two orange boxes I admitted my defeat. Pretty neat!

Ooooh that's a great idea! I love it :)

Really like the concept, some levels ain't easy but cool game, congrats :smile:

Really fun way to incorperate the theme!

Excellent idea! I wish the game had some kind of other feedback to hitting a wall than dying as having to start over very often doesn't feel great :sweat_smile:

I like it. Simple to understand, but tricky to solve, as puzzle games should be. I also appreciate your interpretation of the theme. My only suggestion would be for the level to switch back to the isometric view after you solve a level. But even so it's still a great entry. Good stuff :8ball:

I DID it!! Gg for this game you made all alone. The starting animation is very much needed bc it makes it all clear and is very cute, too.. (reminded me of these mario party minigames when you "jump in" in flies from 3 quarter view to top view). A simple, effective game.

Cool concept!

Fun idea. This is an interesting interpretation of the theme. If could display 3D levels when clearing each level, I would better know what I just did.

I like the game. Resetting player when bumping into walls is a bit annoing

Thank you all for the feedback! @mikan Big thanks for the playthrough video, I found some bugs and have fixed them in the update. Now, player input is disabled while the box is falling.

@oddballdave You can now have the full view after beating each level.

@uzpykes @3deimos I did try to let you return to your previous position when you hit the wall, but the code is kind of messy, so this feature was harder to implement than I expected. So I decided to leave it as it is.

haha, insta plus 5 stars into humor for game name. good you have walkthrough, cz from lvl 2 I got problems, anyway good game!

eugenik 2025-04-14 12:28

Feels like a complete game! Very cool!.

Nice game! Never felt unsolvable to me, you were very clever about shadow placement! Plus I liked how the controls were very easy to understand and were always visible on screen.

Quite a frustrating little puzzle game. i liked it, but i think 5 levels is enough :D well done
