Still - very cool creation and destruction mechanic and good platform physics! A variable jump height would have been nice but minor issue! Nice mood, definitely had fun, just wish I knew what to do!"},{"author_name":"jprogman","author_uid":"15225","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 2:48am","epoch":1429756980,"text":"There needs to be a hint to what to do at the end. I see a flashing black box and a big hexagon. Not sure what to do.\r<br\/>Very interesting game. My little suggestion is having a counter to show how many blocks you have in your gun."},{"author_name":"internetpaulicy","author_uid":"25260","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 2:58am","epoch":1429757580,"text":"Wow the music and sounds are top notch. I love the minimalist style. Everything is clean and complete. While I agree there is a certain vagueness as to my purpose there is a wonderful sense of mystery and discovery. This is certainly one of the most polished and unique games in ld3d 32 imo."},{"author_name":"chikun Dev Team","author_uid":"29857","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 5:48am","epoch":1429767780,"text":"Interesting platformer puzzle mechanic, but could have benefited from (1) a counter to limit and indicate how many blocks you can store (2) greater direction in where to go for the game to develop, either through signs, levels, or a narrative.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>All in all, a game with a lot of potential."},{"author_name":"terpin","author_uid":"51787","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 6:00am","epoch":1429768500,"text":"I'm in love with the graphics but not entirely sure what the win conditions for this game are!"},{"author_name":"TheMeorch","author_uid":"44776","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 7:18am","epoch":1429773180,"text":"Lovely art style, and an absolutely haunting atmosphere, from the music to the sound effects to the flickering squares and incomprehensible messages.

I really liked it..\r<br\/>I found only two probleme. First using space to jump. This mean i need constantly switch between mouse and keyboad. Using the up key would allow me to jump while keeping the hand on the mouse.\r<br\/>Also, the jump physique is weird...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Otherwise I really realy like the concept... I'd like to see more of this... (I also realy like to be able to work with this mechanic)."},{"author_name":"Tangible Games","author_uid":"25746","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 8:15am","epoch":1429776600,"text":"A game?

Leaving everything up to the player to discover gave the whole game an air of mystery to it I didn't expect to see.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>For the actual block placing, I fould it very difficult to draw straight lines, specifically drawing a bridge as I walk across it. My block beam would collide with the block I just placed and make an L shape instead of continuing to place blocks in a line. With all the lines you need to draw, I found this less than ideal."},{"author_name":"zerocreativity1","author_uid":"17115","time":"Apr 26, 2015 @ 10:01am","epoch":1430042160,"text":"Would be nice if there was some overall objective, though perhaps meaningless was what your going for.

Lots of the logs were too mysterious to piece together and far apart to appreciate.  That said, I was encouraged to see more of the game.
