Clever the way you reuse screen, nice idea. Escalation of puzzles also good, nice level designs. Like the sounds and graphics too. Good job!"},{"author_name":"schnerble","author_uid":"11560","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 8:46pm","epoch":1418071260,"text":"Thanks for the feedback! I think I'll try to make a small post-compo update soon with an added restart system, more forgiving boulder rolling, and perhaps a couple of fixes like trying to stop keys flying out of the level (: (though if you get a chance to let me know where it happened, that'd make things much easier to reproduce - thanks!)"},{"author_name":"Zwergesel","author_uid":"26673","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 4:09pm","epoch":1418313840,"text":"Great concept, fitting the theme very well! Make the player and boulders stay in the grid and add a checkpoint feature and it would be awesome.

Collisions are broken (possibly when fps is low, I'm playing on a crappy netbook), and it's too easy to make a room unbeatable by misplacing rocks.\rGood game!

Fair comments - collisions are a bit off, partly because it's all rectangle-based, and I had to shrink the collision area a bit to make it at all possible to align things. I've added a post-compo version where you can restart rooms, so hopefully that will at least improve things!

The collision felt weird, and the wall bashing felt really stiff, but it was playable. The puzzles weren't bad, though I wasn't able to figure out how to beat one of the rooms. It would have been nice to have the boulders move in a more natural way around the tiles, specifically rolling over corners so you didn't have to line up their bounding box to the tiles. Overall a pretty good puzzle game."},{"author_name":"daviosmash","author_uid":"44180","time":"Dec 15, 2014 @ 6:46am","epoch":1418625660,"text":"Definitely a very raw game, felt off a lot of the time, but a fun game nonetheless."},{"author_name":"Budaniel","author_uid":"38918","time":"Dec 15, 2014 @ 6:48am","epoch":1418625780,"text":"Got stuck in the walls a few times, and some general collision detection issues arose, but other than that it was a solid little entry."},{"author_name":"madlee","author_uid":"15236","time":"Dec 15, 2014 @ 6:53am","epoch":1418626080,"text":"Nice game!

Yeah, the single boulder one is tricky... it was also the one that was initially unfinishable, because I'd run out of time for playtesting (i.e., there were three minutes until the deadline and I had to submit). It's still probably the toughest room, and most likely stops a lot of people on the regular, non-post-compo version, as it's hard to do without retrying. A quick touch of one switch and then the other will do it, though : )"},{"author_name":"Sos","author_uid":"1405","time":"Dec 15, 2014 @ 10:43pm","epoch":1418683080,"text":"Oh man!

I ended up playing the post-compo version after making a mistake in the original version and not being able to restart the level.

Although has some bugs with collisions, it's a great entry... specially the interpretation of the theme.

That seems the toughest (to me too).\rIgoramendola: you might be the first to win! :) (I don't know - it was very hard before I put the restarting in) Yes, the collisions aren't great, and I might need to try something different next time.
