Really polished game! Loved the art and sound, and the gameplay is loads of fun, even if those lizards are difficult!

Really polished game! Loved the art and sound, and the gameplay is loads of fun, even if those lizards are difficult!
That was so good! A super relaxing and fun game, with really gorgeous art and sound design! I loved it!
Hey, great game! I agree with others, controls are a little too snappy, but still very good! I got stuck at the first triple jump area, I just couldn't make it up. But a really enjoyable little game!
As a note, it ran on linux using wine just fine!
Thanks! I'll update the links!
@aevek That's perfect feedback, it didn't feel great to me either, but your suggestion is great! That would also allow you to mark (right mouse button) blocks from farther away, which would be nice.
I've updated the input method! It's much easier to deal with now.
@blob Thanks! That's great feedback! And nice high score!
@littlegamer Thanks for the feedback! The flag marking range is a common request, for sure. Thanks for the scoring feedback, I was wondering if it was good, cause going deeper doesn't get you much score right now.
@microchasm, thanks! That's great feedback. I'm planning on expanding the game, so I think better movement options are a must!
@hugimugi7, I was thinking about finding a open source version of Hall of the Mountain King, but I ran out of time.
Beautiful art! It's a very relaxing game for sure. I enjoyed it!
I'm using Linux with wine, and while the game runs, it is incredibly laggy, like 1 fps. Dunno if there's anything to do about it. I attached a gif of the intro text. It literally took 5 minutes to get through. Sorry to have such bad news, but it sounds like windows users are having a great time with it. It does look gorgeous!

This is a pretty good looking game! It's fun and silly, though I kept "failing" pretty soon after starting the fall down the stairs and I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong, the guy would stop for a bit and it would fail just as he was starting to move again. So, a little confusing, but a good bit of fun!
That was a pretty fun game! I liked the music, though it didn't feel like it fit the game well. I also found the strategy of just running away and shooting, but it was still fun! I died falling down a hole, cause I didn't realize there were death pits. My suggestion would be to somehow telegraph that the holes are death pits.
Other than that, great job for a first game jam game!
Cool game, the physics are hard to get used to, but I enjoyed it for sure!
The feel of this game was very good, it was nice to play! I over expanded and died my first time, but I really enjoyed it!
Love the graphics, and it's super cool that you made a NES game! My two issues were that you couldn't pause it and the controls were really difficult for me to use. I'd rather drop boxes immediately with the B key rather than have a sort of separate menu come up and lock me in.
Otherwise, really fun!
Really cool, very nice to control and fun to try and beat your time! Great work!
It was a cool surprise when the attackers won, and then replaced the defenders and it just started all over! Very cool!
This was an incredible game, really cool concept! I honestly just thought it didn't feel inevitable! It felt like you could out-build Bario indefinitely. But still super fun!
Absolutely a beautiful, polished, and fun game! I believe this is the first game I've given perfect marks to!
Literally the best Laundry-based game I've played all year. Perfection.
Brilliant game! Loved the theme! My only complaint was you had to wait the whole duration of the microgame if you had already won or lost it, but that's not a big deal.
Wow, this was a **tough** puzzle! I think I got like, 9 points once? Definitely fit the theme!
Great art, great little game to play!
That was a cool little racing game! I really like top down racing games like that, and it controlled great and the theme was very clever!
That was a cool game, and pretty incredible that you made it in 72 hours! It was really difficult to keep a combo, but I'm so glad there wasn't any penalty beyond that to getting hit! I would have died seconds into every playthrough, haha!
Great job, very impressive!
That definitely was a beautiful game, very atmospheric and relaxing. I had some slowdown along with input lag, and I even clipped out of the train, but I'm going to say that's because I'm on linux using wine, haha. I think having a bit more interactivity with the passengers would be cool, but this was a great weekend jam game!
This is such a cool idea for a game! The only issue I found is you can get the wizard trapped and I didn't know how to restart.
It's a nice, simple game, and it works well! Good work!
That was a cool game. Really unique, really well executed. No notes.
@jumbods64, darn, I'm sorry about that.
@random-ideation-studios, so it *can* be a two person game, but it is balanced around being a single player experience, where you control both the factory and the tetris board.
@rabbitaddix Thank you for the feedback. I could start the game with instructions up. Do you have any suggestions on how the instructions could be improved on the description page?
@adrieldf, @flanne, yeah, adding some graphics to show how the factory works should help.
@roguebrain, it's definitely meant to be chill, but if you play for a while the speed increases, and if you fail to deliver pieces, you'll lose.
@0x-void-x0, @mikyll, @polinachrr, thank you, you guys are so kind!
@nandelind, thank you! My brother's wife found that bug, too, haha. I'm glad you liked the gameplay.
I've just uploaded a version with some of the reported bugs fixed, along with a brief instruction at the very beginning.
Really good game! Beautiful cards, and solid gameplay.
I really liked the game, the music was good and the graphics were fun! The puzzles were solid, but the way the screen zoomed in and out when the mouse moved honestly gave me headache. Maybe it could be controlled directly by the player instead? Other than that, awesome game!
Not sure if it was because I was playing on linux through wine, but when I got to the door, it just transitioned, but nothing happened.
The game is gorgeous, though, and I liked the jumping and throwing, though I found it far easier to go around enemies rather than fight them. Related to that, it didn't seem like there was any invulnerability frames, which made it punishing to get trapped by the mice critters.
Still, it was a fun experience! Great job!
Wow, that was a cool game! I got up to $180 my first game before I started getting too many fines. Great work!
Hey, this was really cool! A nice simple game with tight controls and a good loop. The graphics were excellent, and I thought the music was great.
Holy cow, this game was incredible. Amazing art, sound, music, and a super good puzzle platformer too! Loved the theme, really, loved everything about it. And the ending was so sweet!
That was a solid puzzle game. I'm really impressed how clear it was when I made an error how I could have avoided it.
Amazing work, and super unique!
Hey, this is a solid game. The art is good, it's engaging. However, when the screen scrolls, it makes it very difficult to grab what you want, and I basically can't get past two or three screen scrolls without messing up. My suggestion would be to scroll the screen *only* when the mouse button is not being pressed, perhaps just scrolling right after the next handhold is grabbed would be best.
That was fun! I played the dodge insults game and thought I could squeeze through the N and T in Don't, but I couldn't, haha. Great minigames!
This game felt really good to play. Great work team!
