The game was fun and had a good learning mechanism in the beginning to teach players how to continue without directly telling them what to do.\r<br\/>Continuing development of this game would be interesting to see, especially if you have more of the people going into other worlds and that provided more challenge as they were out of their world."},{"author_name":"ice cold muffin","author_uid":"19913","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 9:17am","epoch":1409217120,"text":"I'm a bit confused by the above comments, but from my experience there is really nothing to do.

You have to constantly\r<br\/>switch between positioning your hand on different areas of\r<br\/>the keyboard and the mouse, especially because you can not\r<br\/>switch characters while still having you hand at the\r<br\/>movement keys position. Could be solved in numerous ways\r<br\/>including enabling WASD controls or alternatively letting\r<br\/>the player switch characters by (right\/left) clicking their\r<br\/>window. That way you have one hand at a certain area of\r<br\/>the keyboard and the other on the mouse and have more fluid\r<br\/>control.\r<br\/>Also it is important to note that it is not very clear that\r<br\/>you need to press ENTER to start the game and that is\r<br\/>probably why ice cold muffin posted that he is confused.\r<br\/>Overall I think that the concept has a lot of potential and\r<br\/>I liked the colors that you picked, keep it up"},{"author_name":"Cash","author_uid":"31729","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 3:24pm","epoch":1409239140,"text":"Thanks for playing everyone, they already told me about the control problem on another place and I agree, when I first started making this game I didn't think about using the mouse so but when I included it I didn't think about adapting the controls. After Ludum Dare I will probably update the download with a version which can let you choose to use WASD or the directional arrows, also I just added a little warning in the description to press ENTER in the menu"},{"author_name":"ZeppelinCaptain","author_uid":"27032","time":"Aug 29, 2014 @ 8:49pm","epoch":1409345040,"text":"Cool idea, but the game was way too slow.

If you want to make it more puzzlish you should probably add some ruling, like you can change a block position only one time. \r<br\/>This way it should be possible to make some very challenging level.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>For control I guess that just clicking one screen to swap would be easier than 1 2 3 4 keys"},{"author_name":"Tosic","author_uid":"35464","time":"Sep 8, 2014 @ 12:09pm","epoch":1410177840,"text":"Well... sounds are annoying, the game is a little bit annoying, but still a good attempt.
