I had so much fun playing this game, it’s great :)

The 1st playthrough was fun because the puzzles were good, my favorites are the floor 5 and 4, which are good levels to learn the control of the air time with landing. My least favorite is floor 1 because the last part is a timing trick more than a puzzle one. Also it’s easier than floor 3 which is the one I struggle a bit to solve

I like the mechanic of limited landings, I like that you have a room to play and get used to it before the game starts. Also the visuals are good, I really like the little drawings in the first couple of levels, I think they are cute and a good guide to the gameplay

I don’t mind that if you get a box over your head, it locks your movements since you can restart the level. And my favorite part of the game, I really didn’t expect a speedrun of the game haha, it’s very fun to do and I like this because the movement feels great, maybe there is a little issue with pushing the boxes at the last level, making it a little slow but the player movement is great and this would work as a platform game or more than a puzzle one

I like the song of the game, isn’t repetitive and gives a good mood to the game, also the ending is cute. I really had fun with this game, one of my favorites I have played this jam, great game! ^^

Wow, you found the secret trophy! I really appreciate it for playing until the very end.

And yes. I agree the timing trick was a bit too much for the puzzle genre, should have widened timing window or something.

Thank you for your detailed feedback!

God, I love this game. Level 3 was my weakness. I hope to see the full version of your game one day

nice puzzle, the last few levels require speed, precision and good timing, which is okay but bit hard to execute

Really great puzzles, got me thinking without getting frustrating. Fantastic work

Very nice, love the animation and sound when you try to go down without any downs left.

Counting your downward movements to navigate each level makes for such a unique and brain teasing puzzle platformer!

Great idea! and I think the difficulty is well balanced

Really fun game! Although I'm not one who likes puzzle games all that much I enjoyed this one, although, like all other puzzle games, it made me feel rally stupid. The art was nice, and I liked the character getting all anxious and shaking their head when you're at 0 drops left and try to drop. Really cool concept as well!

Great to see another puzzle platformer (I also made one) and a really unique idea, the only feedback i'd give is to make the hitboxes a little more forgiving since lining yourself up perfectly doesn't feel a 'fair' challenge

Clever game with a fun concept! It could definitely be expanded further and I hope you do as I really think it has a lot of potential!

The concept is very creative, and your interpretation of the theme is the best I played. Even the title fits the theme really well. I also appreciate that you included a mobile-friendly option—it made the game much easier to play on my phone. The puzzles are fun, creative, and satisfying to solve. So far, this is one of the most creative interpretations of the theme I've played in this jam. Great job!

Nice idea! It was fun to paly

This is one of the most creative interpretations of the theme I have seen so far: however it feels like it is creative to a detriment. After a certain point I found the gameplay to be quite confusing, and it felt like after a certain point the level design of the game was conflicting with the gameplay. However I thought the artwork and audio was consistent in directing the player's decision making, and overall it was a fun play.

Same here. Puzzling part after the first few levels is more about figuring out the rules of the game than solving actual puzzles. 

This is not bad in general, but for some reason here it felt a bit frustrating.

If it will be scaled into a bigger game in future, I'd suggest adding few more levels for any mechanic before going to the next one.

I might have been too obsessed with coming up with new interactions, should have held back a little. Thank you for valuable feedback!

I was just playing mindlessly when I realized I couldn't get down at the final exit—I was totally thrown off! I actually played this before the voting period, but it was so memorable and fun that I had to search for it again. The game's title is really memorable, too!

Great puzzles at the end that made me think and experiment for a while.
