Really charming-looking and unmistakingly Game Boy game with interesting mechanics cleverly designed around thought-provoking puzzles. Well done!
Cute puzzle game, could include a couple more challenging puzzles. Has great gameboy vibes.
Good visual and audio feedback
Got a score of 14670 and it was really fun!
I think it should of had more mechanics but honestly it was fun for what it was. Really polished and clean.
Okay, one hundred percent this is a Game Boy game. Top points for soul. I would have spent hours on this as a kid.
Love the attention to detail, especially the little “BOP” text when you knock blocks away. The sound design is great and everything communicates really clearly.
I wasn’t sure what the oil did when it showed up in stage 5, but after dying while trying to reach the gold I realized it must refill the drill gauge. I liked that the game let me figure things out naturally instead of stopping to explain everything.
The puzzle mechanics are fun, and new elements are introduced in a way that makes learning everything feel natural. Really professional entry that feels like it considered every part of the jam. Nice!
Love the graphics in this one! Definitely nails the GameBoy aesthetic really well, and I like the way the mechanics were introduced gradually each level. I played this on stream today (recording here in case you’re interested in watching someone play your game) and had a great time with it! Good job as always!
