The way the levels collapse into rubble and remain on the field is pretty cool and ties it into the theme well.  The controls really need to be tighter.

If I were to give some feedback it would be to lock the player for a shorter time during level transitions."},{"author_name":"Wayward","author_uid":"44888","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 7:30am","epoch":1418023500,"text":"Changing the level is not a unique idea in this jam,\r<br\/>but keeping the rubble was!\r<br\/>Nice game!"},{"author_name":"Bernhard","author_uid":"20775","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 4:17pm","epoch":1418055120,"text":"Liked the falling block mechanic, wanted to reach the top but then those evil saws came &gt;_&lt; Finished the game but only 6 trophies or so.
