Unique take on the game! It's great that you guys didn't go with a literal timer like most other games. Wish there was a volume button. Apart from that, solid game!

Submitted

The art style is super charming and the controls feel great—honestly impressive work considering the short dev time.

Submitted

Excellent game! I love seeing fellow puzzle makers. The mechanic is really creative, the puzzles are very clever, the art is really beautiful and adorable and the music and sounds are spot on. Good job!

Ok so i'm probably a dumb dumb cause i got stuck at level 4.
But i really enjoyed what i saw and played. It had a nice vibe and good main mechanic design.
Fun brain teaser. If you can spoil me on the level, i'll come back and try again later.
Well done!

Amazingly cute art style and very fun to puzzle, very well done on this! Also great to include the puzzle solutions, very thoughtful! :)

Submitted

Love the use of the theme! Some levels were quite hard to figure out, but pretty smart!

Submitted

Eggcellent submission to jam with a really cool core mechanic and well crafted levels. At any point in development did you guys consider arranging the blocks horizontally to for a type of train?

What a wonderful game. So cosy in many ways... the art, the music... just the gameplay is nerve wrecking at times but still very fun!!! :D

Submitted

This is such a cute game; I really like it!!


If anyone wants to try out my game:https://janoschcode.itch.io/blastout

The visuals are soooo cute haha

Submitted

Really great looking art and very cool concept! I thought the platforming quickly got too complicated. If you wanna move forward with this idea, allow more time to get acquainted with the concept before challenging the player!

Cute game with very nice pixel art style, I'll try it a couple of times, haha!

Submitted

Great game! Really clever mechanic, and I liked how each level kept finding new ways to use the countdown blocks, very creative! the puzzles definitely gave that "aha!" moment, especially level 5 for me. The presentation is super polished too. I got stuck on level 10 but that was definitely a me problem! I can easily see this as a full game, keep it up!

Submitted

I couldn't get past level 10 unfortunately, and I think I found a skip on level 8? Really fun and great take on the theme! I loved the visuals and audio its so nice and cute! :D

Submitted

I cant come past level 3, huge skill issue lmfao, i love the game tho, the art style is nice and also the idea is quite original it reminds me of box boy for the nintendo 3ds

Fun platformer! Lovely graphics, sound, and challenging gameplay. Unfortunately, I couldn't get past level 5, but I'm still trying :)

Submitted

I find it a bit too frustrating to have the main character that is not able to do anything by itself

He is sooooooo heavy

But the game looks very polished overall, well done ^^

Submitted

Got to level 7 or 8 or so, feels super polished and well designed!

You have to release this one! The art style is super cute, the sound effects add even more to that and the gameplay is so classic that brings a lot of nostalgia back! It's one of my favorites!

We're planning on doing some more work on this after the jam!
