[ Inbetween a Land of Grass ]

A small earthquake has shaken up the area around VALLEY 8 & VALLEY 7!
All of their boxes are mixed up. They could use some help!
Also this one person broke a lot of glass somehow?


[ NOTES ]

This is a complete game, it's just pretty tough~! You can win, it is possible!
` u')b Just remember the theme and then tinker a bunch!
I suggest getting a pen and paper or using screenshots.

*TIPS
-The Box Storage is IMPORTANT
-Really try to remember the theme
-Mess around with all of the rooms, not just two!

Thanks for playing and any feedback!
This is my first Ludum Dare.
It was a lot of fun!

I like the graphics, but I can't seem to do anything? Are you meant to be able to move boxes between areas somehow? I think I managed to get a letter into the letter box but it exploded.

I'm stuck :( ...I think... the graphical style is really sweet though! Congratulations with your first LD :)

Oh that is really neat! And super cute!
I really like how our friendly protagonist appears to be hopping from foot to foot.

Beautiful art and great job on first entry. The colours used set the mood really well but did find the text difficult to read at times

Great visual style. Managed to loosely figure out how to change things, but didn't get much further after that.

Wasn't quite sure how to beat the game but I loved the art style!

Loved the graphics and overall aesthetic.
I thought that I figured out the main mechanic
but couldn't quite figure out why some boxes
vanished while others turned into trees.
I restarted the game a few times but couldn't manage
to create a free path to complete it.
The real fun for me was actually to try and figure out the secret behind the game's mechanic, it was like solving a really good puzzle / riddle.

Beautiful graphics. It will be nice a way to move between areas without having to walk.

great visuals, but not enough feedback to understand what's going on.

I couldn't move any boxes into storage, they just got stuck at the exit. But graphics 5 stars!

Looks great, but I couldn't figure out what to do at all after about 10 minutes of running around. Sound/music would have been nice too.

Very pretty game. Can't figure out what to do tho. :D

Beautiful graphics... I could get somewhere, but I just couldn't figure out what was supposed to go where, or really determine how I was influencing the scenes. I think a game with more stages or something might have worked better... as-is I felt like there was a solution, but that I was being punished for not wanting to sit down and go through the tedium of graph paper. Plus, any time I managed to do anything, it would all reset... !! It was just a bit too much.

Thank you for the game! I'm looking forward to seeing you next Ludum Dare :]

Thank you for your entry, but somehow I didn't get through. Your graphics are very nice.

At first I was super confused... then after reading through the comments I thought I figured out what to do, but couldn't get it to work predictably. You have guts for making such a difficult mechanic, which I both love and hate you for. The art is top notch, but some music would've helped a lot. I really wanted to help those people... :'(

Pretty confusing. I felt like I was beginning to understand but then something would work differently! Still, I had fun exploring the world! Beautiful graphics and great mood.

I don't know how to play in this, but nice graphic and really good game. But font is not very good, hard to read D:

Great idea for a game mechanic. Very nice graphics, especially the colour palette and character design.

A later version would benefit from a more direct demonstration of how the box room affects the outside world. One way this could be done is by starting the player off with a much simpler level (one box room, one outside area, with limited kinds of boxes and obstacles), then gradually introducing more kinds of boxes and obstacles to accentuate their difference from the previously known ones.

Brilliant game. Understanding the mechanics was a true challenge, after exploring for half an hour I began to understand how it worked and after another 15 min. I fully understood the mechanics. A very well tought game.
