This was a stunning little puzzle game! I love the little effects and all the smooth animations. Really clean!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words!

Relaxing game, with good level design, and well executed :)

Developer

Thank you for the kind words & for playing!

This such a cool game! I'm not usually one to play puzzle games but I really enjoyed it, excellent job :)

Developer

Thank you for the kind words!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Really cool idea, perfect difficulty level, I almost thought I wouldn't finish it but then got the blocks stuck to each other.

Also love that I could understand how they moved without it needing to be explicitly explained, outside of "they want to move back".

Only thing that I'd change is maybe to let the background sound play in a loop, I missed it a bit when I took a long time solving a level

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you made it to the end!

Yes, totally agree regarding the music. Just caused by me being forgetful and forgetting to loop it.

Thank you for playing!

This was honestly a great game. The idea of the block resetting is an innovative one and adds a fun mechanic to the puzzle!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words & for playing!

Wow man I gotta say this is one of the best I've played yet, excellent visuals with logical puzzle-solving gameplay it's just damn good, great work

Developer

Thank you so much for the very kind words & for playing!

That was excellent!
Such a creative idea, like physics constantly striving back to their balanced state.
The movement felt a little finicky, but it doesn't take a lot from the experience.
Also, the visuals and SFX are really neat.

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Completely understand regarding the movement, but glad it didnt affect things too much.

Thank you for playing!

It's fun, but very hard to predict how the pink cube is going to move

Developer

Thank you for playing!
Glad it made you think!

Submitted

I really like this game a lot! I hope to see more projects like this from you! Rated!

Thank you very much for the kind words!
Glad you enjoyed it!

I really like the concept but maybe the movement could be improved a bit to make it feel more smooth and obvious. Maybe just a hint where your character is going to helps.

This game has a lot of potential and the puzzle system is really cool! Really like it!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Completely agree over the characters movement, and an indication of the route the character is taking is definitely a good idea!

Submitted

I probably spent more than an hour on this one! Just wished the BGM would loop, other than that a very polished game, nicely done!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words!
Glad it captivated you for over an hour!

Totally agree regarding the BGM. A shame I forgot to loop it during the jam.

Thank you for playing!

I like the concept of an isometric puzzle and the game has a great graphic with good level design, really love the graphics tho, though, I find it kinda hard to move around since the delay between the character moves to my mouse position which takes a long time, and sometimes pushing the box just confused me a little bit but overall is a good game ^^

P.S. This is my clone account since my main account (used to submit the game) is restricted from commenting. You guys can check out my game here, thanks /jam/brackeys-13/rate/3349422

Amazing game ! It has a unique and cool concept. I found it hard at first, but after that, it became really fun to anticipate the next moves. It kept me playing until the end, taking time to think about how to solve each level.

The minimalist art is great, and I absolutely want your pixel low-resolution shader, it looks fantastic. The sounds and visuals are perfect for this type of game. This minimalist style allows for clear visuals without any distractions or confusion, and that’s awesome !

Developer

Thank you so much for such kind words!

Wow, your game really reminds me of my game (which is also an isometric puzzle game)! Super cool idea where there is so much room to expand on! Two small suggestions: Lengthen the music, introduce more diversity into the soundtrack. Check out my game how I did that: I used the environment itself to interact with the music and create a "variable" soundtrack. Also what could be optimized is when you click somewhere and interrupt it (click somewhere else), you have to wait for it to move to the old location. Maybe find a workaround for this (e.g. cancel it). Otherwise super high quality submission, grid transitions etc. I like it!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words & advice!

Totally understand regarding the music. Having the sound effects add diversity to the game is a really nice idea, and one that i havent encountered until now. Having played your game, it seems a very clever solution to monotony in music, especially for a puzzler.

As for cancelling the movement - yes, that's something i wish i had changed during the jam. You can press RMB to stop the player's movement, which during the jam I felt fixed this issue. I wanted the player to be able to plan out all of their moves in advance, in case the movement animation was too slow for lengthy levels, which is why this is present. Regardless, i totally understand how it can be frustrating sometimes.

Thank you for playing!

Submitted

Big fan!

Developer

Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Loved the aesthetic and the incredibly unique gameplay! I would like to see new clicks cancel your previous movement but otherwise I really enjoyed it!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words!

You can press RMB to stop the player, but i completely understand your point!

Thank you for playing!

The game looks amazing! Some of the puzzles are really challenging and the puzzle mechanic is so unique! I would say that overall the game is really really cool, but I don't really see how it fits the theme. Regardless, great job!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words!

I suppose I would argue that my game fits the theme due to the main fact that nothing
can actually go wrong, because the game actively resets everything.

As I wrote in the description, you can also interpret the theme as being relevant to perfection, in which case you are actively moving objects from their previous perfect positions, and the game is moving them back. 

Finally an unintended meaning woud be that things can go wrong quite quickly, if you make a small mistake.

Really, i suppose my interpretation of the theme is irregular, but it's my opinion the theme is supposed to be more of a guide rather than a rulebook, and i didnt want to follow in the footsteps of other jammers. 

Regardless, thank you for playing!

Submitted

Very unique and interesting game! It would be awesome if you expand this beyond this jam!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words & encouragement!

Submitted

Really really good game! I love the puzzles in each level, the whole concept of the retracing it's steps block is awesome and makes the puzzles very tricky but rewarding when figured out. The isometric view is aesthetically really pleasing and makes the game look very nice (also reminds of me of bloxors) but it can also make the clicking of spots a bit annoying when it's behind objects. Fun overall and challenging.

Great work!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Totally understand over clicking where you need to go.

Thanks for playing!

Ejnoyable game , the concept is original and the visuals are awesome. Music also helps making the game relaxing (even tho I struggled a lot lol)

Developer

Thank you for playing!
