Very cool concept, I like it, it feels good to play, sounds and visuals are polished. Good job!

Looks extremely polished and the concept seems cool but i can't for the life of me get to play it without dying in like 4 moves so i can't really rate it high on enjoyment sorry!

What a cool idea! This game is so hard but I can tell there's actually a lot of hidden strategy about how to play optimally.

I thought this game was really creative, and especially on the gameplay side, the emergent gameplay that comes from being able to manipulate the level in a specific way while also giving the player lots of options in terms of which path to follow was fantastic. Visually, the game was also very effective at conveying information to the player that is vital for them to make decisions with, and overall the only flaws I can think of were the lack of any narrative element. Amazing game.

SO fun! Great job! :D

Simple idea yet polished and fun to play, the strategy of keeping an "escape path" not to get stuck and the balance between breaking and pushing is cool!

Very unique game idea., simple yet fun! Good pixel art and all around polished experience good work!

I like the concept, however the audio was quite uncomfortable with the sfx being too loud and the music too quite

This game was quite challenging, with a high skill ceiling and need fast decision making

An interesting approach to the theme!

A bit hard to manage, but really interesting concept

One of the more interesting concepts I have played so far, well executed!

Deceptively simple looking game with a surprising amount of depth in the mechanics. Really fun to just mess around and try to come up with paths on the fly

Simple but clever! I had a lot of fun playing it and developing a strategy.

Such a satisfying game! I wished bumping the columns down was one input rather than 6 or  9--since you're not selecting which column to drop, it felt a little unnecessary to have to pick the right key so I just wound up mashing the whole line. Super fun tho!!! Loved balancing when to push and when to wait for my pickaxe to charge.
