End of the Rope

Interesting idea, and you managed to get quite a bit out of it. Well done :).

Creative spin on the theme, and a unique puzzler! Having to ferry weights over jumps and use weights as platforms were my favorite solutions. I also appreciate how the heavier your character is, the harder it is to jump, so you can't be too greedy with the weights. My one critique is that the controls felt a bit unwieldy at times - sometimes I would figure out the solution, but couldn't actually execute it without some struggle. Even so, I had fun with this and appreciated the unique take on the theme!

The way Mr Sumo moves is pretty satisfying with the weight and speed etc. I think it would have added to the fun if there was music and some funny SFX or something but good job for coming up with this, it's a unique interpretation of the theme!

Good idea and I liked the sumo guy, haha. I was a little confused at first with the pickup mechanic because I was holding down shift before touching the weights thinking it was going to make me a magnet or something. Didn't realize I needed to press while touching, haha. Besides that, cool game and good idea!

Oh gosh, I love this idea especially the one where you have to build platforms with weights, much brainstorming has been done for game design I assume.

Great job! Very smart to use weights that you need on yourself in order to complete the level as a platforms. Turns this into some kind of physics-based puzzle game. Wish there was sound.

You did an absolutely brilliant job ramping up the difficulty on this. I even forgot about jumping three or four levels in until it was necessary. Just really clever. A couple were a little easy -- I finished one 400kg over -- but still good design.

Yes I did the play testing on my friends and most don't play computer games so levels turned of easier than expected. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for playing.

The movement and the puzzle in this game are really smart, and I liked bouncing around as my sumo guy. I think the controls could use some work (Q and left shift felt hard to get to) but I'd love to see where this one goes.

Me and My Monster

Interesting concept! Close to Katamari but with a twist that gives the player some additional control, I enjoyed the challenge c:

Thanks a lot for playing and hope you enjoyed. I did see your stream the other day and really appreciate the feedback.

Jacob WelchSubmitted5 years ago(+1)

I thought it was an interesting concept. I think you could add more mechanics, such as a way for the sumo to be forced into dropping his weights. Fun game though!!!

Jumbled Connection

Really creative concept with joyful presentation there :)

I was actually a bit surprised with the amount of variation you were able to work in with those mechanics. Some clever level design there :D
