Cool little puzzle platformer. I liked the humor of it. Found the telekinesis to be a little difficult to control. Overall great entry!
I think this is a nice puzzle platformer but the controls are a bit frustrating. It feels very strange that the collision shape of the player is rounded and that he can slide of edges because of that. When I was dragging boxes around they were being dropped all the time. Other than that I enjoyed this one.
Good idea an puzzles, mouse control could be a bit better and it is a bit shame that you cannot take a box from under another box (tiresome with bigger box piles). Overall a good idea and nice art, good job!
There's some jankiness with the mouse controls and a bug didn't let me return to a certain room (the one with the hat), but you have something going on there with this idea, keep going!
This is such a nice little puzzle platformer! The physics were a bit awkward at times and it felt weird having the smaller range, but that didn't take away from my fun at all. It was relaxing and I loved building my character out of calcium. I won't spoil it for others but I love the ending you were able to put together in such a short time :)
Nice job!
Very funny game! I had a hard time with a lot of the jumps. It seemed like they were set up so that if you didn't time them perfectly, you wouldn't make it. That being said, I think the game has a lot of charm. Well done!
THIS WAS GREAT! i had a lot of fun playing it and the mechanics were well designed. yeah there were some troubles manipulating the boxes, but overalll i think the platforming was fun and the game turned out great especially for only doing the 48 hours! congrats!
Pretty jank game but still fun, i liked the dialogue quite a bit
I love the character, I'm terrible at platformers though so I couldn't get far.
It was really amusing, the skeleton looks very funny and badass. Sadly the fun stopped after I got softlocked in a level where there's boxes above you, and water. I couldn't reach the boxes, and scaling seemed to do nothing.
A bit slidey for a platformer, and the box movement feels a bit tricky and obtuse. However there's definitely something in the idea here that can be expanded upon
It's a bit rough around the edges, especially with the box move mechanic. But the concept is good with some good music on top of it!
difficult but rewarding! love the concept and such a good riff on the theme. great work :)
"Drink milk", is what they said.
"It's good for your bones", they said
Thats what I have from it! Im 100 % boner now!
in only 48 hours?? impressive!

Very creative theming for the game! The dialogue was really funny haha. I also enjoyed the platforming puzzles, although I wish the mechanic of scaling the boxes was brought in a little sooner. Other than that, I think this is a great submission!
This is a very unique take on how you get your powers in a Metroidvania.
As others have stated, fine tuning the controls would take this to the next level
Great story, could be an interesting metroidvania, but player controls could be imporoved
Nice idea to collect bones. The gameplay is cool. The level design is nice but the 3rd level was a little bit difficult for me (It feels like the blocks are a bit slippery). Good job !
