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. 

Developer

This normally doesn't happen on mouse and keyboard but only on mobile... I will improve that in the future, ty for testing my game and giving me a feedback:)

Submitted

Simple but fun. I just felt the controls for placing the boxes were a bit confusing.

Developer(+1)

Yes, I didn't give enough instructions, I will improve on that in the Future. Ty for your feedback♥️

Submitted

The idea is quite original, very smooth and enjoyable to play

Developer

Thank you:) Im glad to hear, that you enjoyed my game:)

Submitted

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!

Developer

Thank you so much, Im glad to hear that you liked my game and gave me such a nice feedback:)

looks good

Developer

Ty♥️

Submitted

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

Developer

Thank you for trying and giving a feedback to my game I will definitely try yours too:)

Submitted

Very great way of combining a platformer and a puzzle game by taking control of other characters and helping you get past obstacles. Amazing game!

Ty so much, I'm glad to hear, that you enjoyed my game♥️

Submitted

Reaaly nice idea. Just some polish and i think this could be a big great hit

Developer(+1)

Ty for that nice feedback:)D  I will polish my games more in the future... Bc that's what literally everyone suggested😭😂

Submitted

Nice game, but it needs improvements like words and buttons clarification
 I rated your game, kindly play my game and rate it, also you can write a comment telling your opinion about my game.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback:) 

I will definitely try your game too

The game need some polishing, but is very interesting in its premise. I think you can develop more interesting puzzles and mechanics, but for a short game is very cool. I liked a lot the transition between caves and surface, hehe.

It´s a very good project. Congratulations!

Developer

Thank you so much for your nice comment... I will definitely polish my games more in the future...

Developer(+1)

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the transition, because that means you played the whole game :D

Submitted

Sure!! ^^

Developer

Ye... I just don't know how many people actually played the whole game, even tho it just takes around 3-5min... The most people didn't understand how to play and else...

Submitted

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.

Developer

Yes, I noticed that too... This is my first game jam and I'm learning a lot from it, both what I can improve and what I did well... Thank you so much for your willingness to help and your tips. It's really good to get such honest feedback because that's the most helpful.

Submitted

Wow, your first Game Jam? Congrats, it´s a very solid project ^^

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I'm quite happy with my first game jam, and all the honest feedback (both positive and negative) and compliments make me very happy and motivate me to keep going ♥️

Developer

I have a question... Will there be a full ranking of all games or only of the winners?

Submitted

There be a full ranking. But don’t take it too serious. With more than 350 projects, being in the first half or the best 100 is a success itself ;)

Submitted

i didn't expect this game to be this good but I actually finished it which I rarely do, I can see you winning.

Developer

Thanks for your compliments... You made my day... I won't win because this is my first game jam and I'm still gaining experience... But it's still very kind of you.

Submitted (1 edit)

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 😉.

Developer

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!!!

Submitted

I think it's good. Main character is so cute. Gameplay, graphics, audio, all deserve 5 stars. Good job

Developer (2 edits) (+1)

Wait, what?! You gave me 5 out of 5 stars in every category? Thank you so, so much!!! My game didn't deserve that at all... But I really appreciate it... Thanks, you made my day, bro!

Developer

Thank you guys for all your helpful feedbacks I really appreciate it, and bc of this being my first jam, your feedbacks help me a lot to improve myself in the future♥️

Submitted

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.

Developer

I know, the Boxes have some issues on Mobile I will improve that in the future... And thank you for your really nice feedback... I dont think, that you would play this in your free time... But I appreciate it... Thank you brother, for your really nice feedback, thats making me insanely happy♥️

Submitted

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. 

Developer

Did you play it on mobile? Bc on mobile there are some issues with the boxes... But I've never had this problem on mouse and keyboard... Although thank you for your nice feedback, I really appreciate it

Developer (1 edit)

Ah, I didn't understand you at first... But now I know what you mean... Ty for even showing me how to fix it

Submitted

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 👍👍👍

Developer(+1)

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 ♥️

Submitted

Really great concept and fun puzzle game took me a minute to figure out how it all worked but once I did it was great

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you I really appreciate your compliments... And I will work on the Instructions in the future bc so many people didn't understand it at first or just didn't understand it, how to control the engineer and else....

Submitted

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.

Developer

I will clearly work on the instructions, bc literally everyone had problems on this and thank you for your nice feedback

Submitted

Gameplay is so smooth and it would be good if there will more clear instructions 

Developer(+1)

Yes I heard this a lot... I will work on that in the future:)
