  • I had a lot of fun with this one. The box-throwing mechanic is simple but satisfying, and the puzzles build nicely in difficulty. I liked the minimalist visuals and the explosive feedback loop worked well both thematically and mechanically. The audio and feel were polished too. Would love to see more levels or an expanded version.

It reminds me of Nitrome games, really simple, cute and fun!

Such a simple core mechanic turned into a really enjoyable game. This is one of those games I could easily see on Steam with the level of polish presented here! Could easily add more objects that have different behaviours in future.

Developer

Thanks so much! Not sure if it would be popular to be worth putting on steam though, but yes it does lend itself to easy extensions

this kind of game is pretty popular for mobile, maybe play store!

I think this game is very clever. The pacing of the mechanics and how they’re taught is really solid, which makes the game a lot of fun to play. The art is nice and simple, complementing the design very well. Overall, it’s a really polished experience. I did feel like some levels could be a bit too hard, but that’s probably just because I’m not very good at push-the-box puzzle games :)
Really well done, adding a fun twist with clever level design and wrapping it all in a beautiful package. Fantastic job!

Thanks so much! I always feel like I make games too easy or too difficult but that must be everyone, I probably made this one a little too challening... Glad you still enjoyed!

Really fun little puzzle game!

I was able to beat all the levels except for level[7] and liked how I had to approach the puzzles.
I also think that the music and SFX fit very nicely.

Only thing to critique would be how I feel like it maybe doesn't fit the theme of "feedback loop" all that well?

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Yeah the theme isn't as prevalent here as with many other games, but I really liked this idea and had to go for it, I also wanted to submit to this jam and the summer slow jam 2025: puzzle. I'll take the consequences for that!

Just great. Not much to critique here, other than maybe how fast the difficulty ramps up. 

Developer

Thanks for playing, that's been the general critique so far, I guess I need to work on my difficulty reading for my games!

really fun game with good polished mechanics and level design. maybe you couldve added something else to interact with the boxes for more depth in the puzzles, but a great game :)

Developer

Thanks! I would have loved to add a bunch more but I didnt feel like I had enough time to execute that :/
