Cool game! Got stuck on some levels for a bit and considered giving up but after trying a bit more, I eventually managed to succeed. I liked the boulder and would be happy to see more elements added to it in the future :)

Thanks a lot for playing and congrats on clearing the levels! :) 

I have some ideas of new blocks and mechanics, I'm hoping to be able to release some of them soon after the voting period ends.

Great little puzzle game. some levels really stumped me at first, but i got the hang of them eventually. would love to see more levels and audio!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing!

I have some ideas of new blocks and mechanics that should lead to some interesting levels, I'm hoping to be able to release some of them soon after the voting period ends. Audio was on my todo list but couldn't even touch it at all aha, hopefully for later

I liked this game, nice little puzzler, I just wish there was more variance in the gameplay because the concept is so cool. Also, it needs some music! 

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing!

My plan was to add more levels and gameplay elements, but didn't have enough time during the jam unfortunately. 

I will continue working on this after the jam voting period is over though, as I had quite fun developping it. 

Music is one of the things I didn't have time to start at all aha, but hopefully in the later versions

Fun puzzle using waves to erase sandcastles. There are some things to fix like the tiny level selection buttons. Besides some shadows for the waves could make them more visible. Sound is missing too.

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing. :)

That's a good point for the buttons, I'll implement that in a later version.  Shadows is a nice idea, will experiment with that thanks for the idea. Sound was on my todo list but didn't have time to touch on it at all. But I will continue working on this after the jam voting period is over

Strong theme interpretation, good graphics, fun gameplay. I enjoyed this game.

Developer

Thanks a lot for testing, glad you like it :)

Interesting take on the theme, fun little puzzle game with some interesting order of operations puzzles. Great work!

Thanks a lot for playing!

Nice puzzle game. Enjoyed it. Could have some sound, that would make the game more polished. Good job nonetheless.

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing, glad you liked it!

Sound was on my todolist but didn't have time to start anything on it. It will be in a post jam update hopefully as I plan continuing work on it after the voting period has ended

Cool little puzzle!

 I missed some music, and the tiles are highlighted outside of the "puzzle island", where it makes no sense. Otherwise thanks! It was satisfying to figure out

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing!

Yeah sound is on my list of things to do after the voting period is over, did not have time to get to it during the jam unfortunately. That's a good point for the highlight, it's one of those things I noticed but never went on fixing 😅

A really cool concept for a puzzler! I think you did a great job with puzzle design here, and designing a good puzzle is not an easy thing to do. I liked the simple graphics, too. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Submitted

Interesting concept and implementation. I'd love to see in-game tutorial.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Yeah it's part of the things I wanted to add but didn't have time, definitely on my list for the full version!

Submitted

I hope this comes up in my queue so I can rate it too, but I really enjoyed playing it! The style of puzzle is very fun and not something I have encountered before, and the graphics made me feel like I was at the beach.

Developer

Thanks a lot 🙏

I'm really not good at graphics so I'm glad it gave this impression

Submitted

Very nice! Made it to one of the levels with rocks and many castles.

Really challenging

Submitted

Very cool concept. I would love to see this game polished and expanded on more, and it fits the theme very well

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing and for your kind words! I plan on continue working on it after the voting period is done, I do have a few more ideas that I couldn't get in in time!

Submitted

Very nice game. I enjoyed it a lot, defintetly can be a good game for the play store even. Very good work.

Developer

Thanks a lot for trying the game and for your kind words! I need probably a lot more work before being able to put that on any store aha, but that could be a cool goal idea!

Submitted

Very unique and fun!

Thanks a lot for trying :)
