Very cool! feels very satisfying to play and the aesthetic is really cute. I’m somehow stuck on 1-4 but i’ll keep trying lol

I really like the art style and sound effect, it make it really enjoyable to play

Really lovely aesthetics. I particularly loved the blip effect when you move, very satisfying. Gameplay was starting to get repetitive near the end, you may want to add a few mechanics in order to extend it !

Developer

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback

Congratulations on your game. It's very challenging and enjoyable to play. I could spend hours playing it.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much, that’s good to know hehe

A very simple mechanic yet my brain wasn't braining lol. I adore the aesthetics and the little character and it's a very solid little puzzle game. Well done! 

Developer

I’m glad you liked it

Nice little Baba-like you've got going there! I really like games that do a lot with so little, and I think this minimalist approach can go a long way. Even the music is extremely simplistic and repetitive, but while trying to solve the puzzles you just drown into it.


Might have been total randomness, but I somehow spent a lot more time on level 2 than 3 and 4.

Keep up the good work, this could for sure yield a great ROI on you time!

Developer

Thanks for the comment, these are the comments that really help me improve haha ​​and I’m glad you liked the game 🤗

really cool, progression feels amazing! it looks pretty hard but you get the hang of it and then it gets to a very nice challanging point also cool visuals and sound design

Developer

I’m glad you commented 😊

This game reminded me of old Pokémon games that had similar puzzles where you had to move the rocks to progress. Really nice game that brought me back in the past.

Developer(+1)

I’m glad it brought back some good memories for you, hehe.

I love the puzzle and how they go up in complexity

This was really nice, good job!

Developer

Thanks, this is the first time I’ve uploaded a game made with pixel art, and I’d like to improve it at some point

:)

Stunning visuals, really like the art direction and mood it feels really cozy.
I'm not the best at puzzle game but I had a good time.

Also always nice to see another Godot game and dev, we also did our game in Godot if you have any feedbacks

Developer

I’d been thinking about how to make a cozy game for days, but it was just a thought, and now that you mention it, well, it just happened without me even trying, thanks xD

Quite fun little puzzles! I liked the shader :)

Developer

I’m glad you liked the game, although at one point my head exploded when designing the puzzles😅

Up to so far this is my favorite, this is a 9/10 for me, well put together

Developer

I like that it’s a 9/10; if it were 10/10, I wouldn’t need to improve. Thanks!!
