Controls for the engineers need improvement. Sometimes I am able to place three blocks or just one block per engineer. The latter usually happens after I die on a level. Other than that, this was a pretty nice game to play.

Simple but fun. I just felt the controls for placing the boxes were a bit confusing.
The idea is quite original, very smooth and enjoyable to play
Very wonderful game! I can easily tell that you have put a lot of efforts into this game. Some levels were difficult but yet they were manageable. Nice choice of music too. Also I am amazed how you have made so many so many levels in such a short time and the levels actually had depth and the level designs were thoughtful too. The theme of the jam "Take Control" was also perfectly implemented. At last, the transition in the last level was very great it reminded me of "Bounce Tales" because bounce tales also had the same glitch effect for weather changing. Great work! I left you a rating too!
The resolution is too big in my browser, but the game runs very smoothly, I like the concept of placing blocks for footholds, it's very simple but fun, the music and background are also beautiful, if you have time don't forget to try my game :D

Reaaly nice idea. Just some polish and i think this could be a big great hit
Sometimes is a bit frustrating, but in my experience, in Game Jams we need to give redundant info to the other players. More than usual. In my first attempts I always though: “But if it´s easy, why people don’t understand?” But it occurs. So the more info of the mechanics, the better. Even a Youtube video can work.
i didn't expect this game to be this good but I actually finished it which I rarely do, I can see you winning.
I got stucked here don't know what to do I'm playing the game on mobile :( - the sound was pretty cool I'll still rate it 😉.
You can press R to reset the level and yes placing the blocks is really bad on mobile... But if you don't move while placing blocks then it shouldn't be a problem... Also don't forget to press the "Mind control" button again if you have placed all 3 blocks, so the camera follows the player again... Hope this helped:) Thank you for testing my game!!!
I think it's good. Main character is so cute. Gameplay, graphics, audio, all deserve 5 stars. Good job
Amazing game!! I loved the music and sound effects, and the gameplay felt so smooth. The only issue I had was the boxes sometimes snapping to a different spot than where I clicked, but overall, great job!
Definitely something I’d play in my free time.
Great game. Only problem I had is that when you clicked to place a block, the block was placed on the bottom right corner of the mouse. (That might not make sense). It's an easy fix though.
for the creation of the box object, create Just create the object at CursorX("", 0) - 36 , CursorY("", 0) - 36.
Other than that, I really like the game.
I Honesty like the art style the game self.. And the game is pretty simple and kinda fun.. However.. Sadly level 2.. And especially level 3 was hard to beat it.. ( and not for good reason sadly :( ) I wasn't able to beat level 3 because.. In this game.. You control other characters.. Who can place a box for you.. To jump box over the sand to avoid deadly..know at first.. I didn't understand it.. Completely.. But because the tip..I slowly understand.. And seem like everything fine.. Until this part where you control other person to pull box in top of sand.. To control player again.. To jump at box.. Know For some reason.. Place the box in.. Basically every where.. Feel off.. Most of the time box just doesn't teleport in right place.. where there supposed to be at when you click at something.. Heck the only reason I beat level 2...because I get luckly where box next to other place.. But level 3..in Other hand.. Was impossible ( to me at least ).. Because the camera doesn't go down after the player go up.. Which I didn't understand how to beat it after I know that.. Because that was sand and other platforms down there.. So because of That.. I rage out.. ( Also.. For some reason.. when I click at somethings.. And control other player.. The player self.. Start to move???????.. That not supposed to happened.. Or work like that.. Is just more annoying and not fun ) but the music music & sounds dose nice.. And art looks good.. You just need some work with game play.. To improve it more .. Make it so simple.. The point almost everyone understands.. Without make it player rage or confusion or annoyed.. You need something main focus without make it too complicated.. And also without feel off.. Or at least.. Not so much the point someone like me rage out of game ( Especially the box One.. I also prefer to control the other player than place box.. Is just seem more fun and possible for more puzzle ) but other than that.. You did it good job for this game jam.. Is not perfect.. But is pretty well done 👍👍👍
Thanks for your good and honest feedback. Regarding the camera tracking the main player again, you should have pressed the spacebar again, but maybe I didn't explain it clearly enough... The boxes don't actually spawn randomly; that hasn't happened to anyone yet... Unless you were playing on a touchscreen, because the box system doesn't work perfectly there... But still, thank you so much for your honest review. It's my first Game Jam, and with all your feedback, I can improve a lot for future Game Jams ♥️
Very impressive work for the time given. I loved the sound effects; took me a little bit to figure out how to control the other character, but was smooth gameplay once I figured it out! Great work on this.
Gameplay is so smooth and it would be good if there will more clear instructions
