You’ve got something potentially very addictive here. The loop is simple, side to side, bash, jump, slam, but the balance is what sold me. The number of runs I had that came down to the last 15, 10, 5 seconds before ending in a death is a testament to the tuning. My final score was 1253.

Those weak boxes though, I have never hated and prioritized something so much at the same time, they led to so many of my deaths :)

A couple thoughts if you keep building. A small tutorial covering the buttons and the box types would smooth out the first run. And I could see extra modes doing well here, something like a slam only mode, or boxes that make the raft list to one side when the weight stacks unevenly.

What’s the top score you’ve seen so far? Trying to figure out how proud of 1253 I should be. Also, do the different boxes have different weights or is it just the amount of hits each one takes?

This is a really solid game, can be quite addicting. A bit difficult to get to the end but I enjoyed it still.

The simple Pixel art fits the game really well, the controls feel nice, and the sound design is well done. I don't really have much to critique, mainly suggestions - The game could do with a waves or a level system, having upgrades, being more difficult, maybe adding other things to do as well. But those are really up to the dev

Overall it is really well polished. And I enjoyed playing it a lot.

I feel so dumb, I didn't read the controls until after i beat it the first time and I didn't know there was a shoulder bash, i kept worrying about getting a stack more than 2 or 3 because I couldn't destroy them at all. Turns out I should read cause it would've been SO MUCH EASIER

Really cool game.   I love how you made this simple game, but little things matter like what type of box it is and how you should hit it based on whats above it and how it breaks.  Really fun!  I didn't get under 30 seconds, but frustrating in a good way. 

Great game with great art! The mechanics are suproisingly deep and interesting. I found it pretty hard and unforgiving though. Maybe some easier beginner levels to get used to how things work would be great!

I really enjoyed this arcade style game. Every single box adds so much to the gameplay, I didn't expect for the most fragile box to be the most deadly. Also, I like the Wario inspired character.

This was really enjoyable!

(Gushing) Okay this section is just dedicated on how the deep the mechanics and movement

Blocks

• Each of the blocks added really gives the game some ridiculous depth
• The heaviest chest is an immediate but easy to deal with threat, push it out to sea and its done and deal!
• The metal blocks take a while but their frequency can allow for some safe pushing without risk of getting crushed
• The wooden boxes meanwhile are one hit and can be killed instantly, something to clear off
• And finally, the brittle... oh the brittle... This one in combination with the rest is one of THE most dangerous blocks.
• If its on the edge you can die easily
• If its on the middle you may get through and get squished by something else falling
• If any block is on top of it, as its really deadly. as slamming into it kills you by the falling block on top of it.
• Every time I see this in the dangerous formations I have to think on how the hell am I going to deal with this

Movement

• The way how the movement is done is so satisfying, with the basic movements, the really awesome bash and dash.
• Jumping after a dash can provide some really quick speeds allowing to get away or get into safety (or danger into the sea and another falling block)
• A jump-bash can allow to deal with the deadly fragile formations as it pushes 2 blocks at the same type if you got the positioning correct.
• Or the jump-bash can allow to get up and deal with threats up above in safety, with...
• the downward slam able to stop your movement mid air and giving some much needed control.
• Not to mention after bashing a non fragile blocks, you can slam down to get back quickly (Don't do it though for stacks, you get into the crates too early and you die)

From just the simple elements it makes for a good game, I'm not even talking about the chosen assets and art, its well-chosen and put into composition it makes for a good game! The music was nice as well!

The score mechanic allows for some replayability and looking again at the tips section, I saw treasure chests being valuable while broken...

Overall, this is really cool, I guess it counts down in both objects going down, you have to account for each one, and the ship counts down as its too overloaded... Thank you for submitting in the game jam!

P.S. Oh completely forgotten, there was a weird bug of crates floating on the sea... I wish I could tell more or screenshotted it for reproducibility, but it did happen.

Controlling the character felt really nice. Definitely took me a bit because I kept shoulder bashing the planks when there were things on top of them. Overall super fun game.

This is a really fun game! The controls feel nice and fluid. I like the music too. I was able to spam the downward-slam move to break things really quickly, maybe you could add a cooldown so you can't jump immediately after slamming. Overall great job on this!

This is a really great little arcade game! You've done really well, especially solo! My only feedback is that I don't think the weight bar should change when I hit a box as the box is still technically on the raft. But that's such a minor detail. Great work

This is a really well polished game. there is more depth to it than what it seems like. The only thing that might make it better would be to have "E" or "Q" be the control scheme to push blocks around instead of "X" or shift. I got a lot of sticky keys notifications lol. Overall, solid minigame with a more depth to it than meets the eye. Nice game :)

Really hard minigame ! I love the simple concept of the game, and the execution is great. One addition I would make is to maybe have the raft dip to one side as it gets heavier, to add another dynamic to the game or different box sizes?

I DID IT! After so so many attempts I did it!!

Such a good game. Definitely among the best I’ve played the jam so far! I love all the littles quirks (like the weight decreasing when you jump); the mechanics and the polish of this game. You did an incredible job for a jam so short.

Final Score: 1492
