Great puzzle game! Very clean and aesthethic artstyle. Simple, yet creative mechanic. I'm waiting for more levels! :)

This is a very good example of how awesome games can be made from a simple mechanic. The mechanics of this game is not hard to comprehend, but it is so much fun! Taking a box with you can be helpful but sometimes can be a pain in the butt, so players have to choose carefully which box to take with them. The level design is brilliant and clever. I just wish there could be more levels :) Nice work for 48h!
This is so sweet and fun to play. It can appear "easy" at times but then that nasty crab comes and steals your "easy" away....clever girl. I kept thinking "Crab Battle" I love the simple mechanic and how you implemented it in such away that it felt fresh each new level. Well done! p.s. please please add some sounds/audio (unless there is then for some reason it did not play on my end) It would make it even more fun :D
Quite an original take on the classic push-a-box puzzle, and also it's refreshing to see an unhelpful partner for a chance! Liked it a lot!
Really interesting use of a mechanic which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. I would have liked some sort of visual indication of how close I can approach blocks before they attach, but once I got a feel for it the game was quite fun. Nice!
Wow, this is such a cool game! The puzzles are so inventive and the platforming is really fun, I would definitely love to play more. It helps that the crab is adorable, the entire game is, honestly. I think a nice chiptune track and some quirky SFX can add a lot more personality. Great work overall, loved this submission!
Very nice! Short but a lot of fun with the mechanics, I think there is definitely potential for more with this! Great job!
This is a neat idea, and it makes for a fun puzzle platformer. The idea that the player cant drop the box turns out to be an interesting challenge. I'd love for you to add more levels and continue development after this, coz I think there is so much potential here, I'll be rooting for you. Excellent job! :)
Cool! As an idea it's pretty neat. The thing that needs tweaking is the grab radius for the boxes
I really love the unique mechanic and how it lends itself to puzzles! id love to see more levels added someday after the Jam! its Great!
@arya-s at the second level I was a little confused about how to drop the box but after some time I realized what to do and I was amazed how clever the game mechanic and level design is good one on that, art style was good too, although adding bgm and sound effects would make things more interesting, overall very good job :D
This was a really neat idea! The puzzles worked quite well since it took me a couple tries to get right but was still satisfying.
That was a really short and charming game! It always feels bad when you can't fit audio in (at least I couldn't hear it), but that's the life of a 48 hour jam. Really cool mechanics and puzzles, would love to see it fully developed!
A very striking and clever game, would love to see a fully fledged version of this! I like how the grab mechanic is used as a blessing and a curse, really well designed.
Congrats on submitting!
a very cute game and a funny concept, good job! I would suggest making more puzzles where a player have to use the box to their advantage, I think there's a lot of potential there :)
