Neat little game! Looks really good and I love music. I found the gameplay very challenging, so a little tutorial would be great. With a little more work this could be a seriously amazing game. Good work, hope to see more!!

I'm glad you enjoyed! Appreciate the feedback, I'll keep it in mind for my future games :)

Very good! Interesting concept. Although I’m not very good at these types of games, hahaha. Great work!

Developer

Thanks for playing! It's possible that the game might just not be explained clearly rather than you not being good at it xD, I should've put more of a tutorial

Cool game! I wish it kept the platforms in the same spot when you died though.

Developer

That seems to be a common grievance, thanks for the feedback!

Cool concept and fairly relaxing to play (until you fail a few times in a row lol).

A couple non-gameplay related issues.

  • Level animations replay when I restart the level - I would rather just get back to playing immediately with no animations.
  • The letter configuration resets - I would rather it keep what I had last placed, so I can easily tweak what I had.
Developer

Thanks a lot for the feedback! Glad you found it not completely annoying xD

Thanks for playing :D

Really cool and fun puzzle game, although I had a breakdown trying to figure out jump in level B

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! I've realized I'm not good at gauging difficulty xD. Thanks for the feedback!

The idea is cool. However, some words of advice:

  • I believe that the player could be given a bit more information on how the controls work, because they’re entirely switched between even the first two levels, which was incredibly confusing.
  • I would also prefer if there was an option to restart the level without reverting the position of the platforms, because I found it a bit tedious to redo my placement each time.
Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely keep it in mind for the future, the second point especially has been said by a lot of people

Thanks for playing :D

Very cool game! I love the concept and gameplay is fun!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for playing :D

Enjoyed the game! I wish that there was a way to rotate the pieces, but I guess its just part of the challenge :)

Developer

Thank you! Some rotatable pieces were planned, but my code was the player was too terrible for me to be able to implement it :(

Glad you enjoyed!

I got softlocked on level D. Couldn’t move and so couldn’t die. I think it would be better if 1) you weren’t forced back into default arrangement on death but 2) you could press a button to go back into editing mode. That seems like it would avoid this kind of softlock and avoid frustration stemming from the distinction between “I have a bad arrangement” and “I have a good arrangement but mistimed my jump”.

Developer

I appreciate the good feedback! Thanks for playing

I learned more about the mechanics especially on Level B! I struggled but it was nice when I finally solved and timed the controls perfectly. Would love more letters!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed! Sadly the makers of the english language made half the letter just 3 sticks in different orientations and my level design skills couldn't keep up xD

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Fun gameplay and levels! I liked it, I think I would have played more levels if there were any.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I'd have made more levels but the English alphabet creators were lazy and made half the letters just 3 sticks arranged in different ways xD

That plus I'm not good at level design

Glad you enjoyed the game though!

This game is really creative! This would make a really good mobile game. Hope you make it into one.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I don't have any major ideas in my skill level about where to take it, but it's definitely going into my notebook for potential future game ideas. Thanks for playing!

I thought it was cool that each level was a different letter! I was a bit confused as to why some platforms were conveyors while others weren't. Its definitely something that could be built upon more! 

Developer(+1)

The idea was that the curvier parts would be conveyors while the straighter parts are simple platforms, but I can see how that could be confusing, should've explained it better. Thanks for the feedback and hope you had fun!

Submitted

Definitely fun! The best parts were flinging myself at an angle to the goal :)
