TinyBoxes by geekygenius
Hello! This is my first Ludum Dare entry, so I hope I did well for my first time.
Use space and WASD to control the menu. You can press R to reset the level. This is very useful if you get yourself stuck. If you press space, you can shoot yourself.
If you are DESPRATE, please watch the low quality walkthrough. http://youtu.be/eKgmgoJYUKA If you like the game so much, you want to make a better walkthrough, or a speed run, message me and I'll put it in this description.
All content was created within the 48 hours. Please read the help, its really short, and will tell you the controls. It is your job to figure out how to solve the puzzles. If how the theme fits in is unclear, the whole game is played on a 20x15 tile area. That's a really small world. If you can't get past the second level, here's a hint: you can wrap around the world. Some of the levels at the end are very hard, but they're all possible.
To play, download the zip file, extract everything, to a folder if you want, then run extract_then_run.bat. If that doesn't work, you can do into the dist folder and run TinyBoxes.exe.
32-bit isn't working right now, I'm working on it ASAP. Please come back to it later, you can bookmark it if you want. There are 3 weeks of judging. If you really want to play it, just install python and pygame in 32 bit, and run the tinyboxes.py, just like a Mac. -EDIT- 32 bit is being a real bugger. I'm very sorry. If you are reading the comments and want to play it, an install of python and pygame is required. They're not bad things to have though. Just use the same instructions as for a Mac and it should work. Let me know if you try this and it doesn't.
If you have a mac, you can download the Windows distribution, and install python and pygame. Then, in the dist folder, run tinyboxes.py

--Make sure you use a version with the same bit, 32 or 64.--
I FORGOT TO PUT THIS IN THE HELP MENU: R to reset the current level.

"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."
I couldn't get it to run
I ran the batch file and tried the exe but it says it isn't compatible with my windows, it's not designed for a x64 is it? as mine's x86
Tried to make my way through the whole game but unfortunately got stuck on the level with the single strand of ice that runs from left to right. Simple yet effective graphics, good music, well thought out puzzles. Overall pretty good! Great work for your first dare :D
+ very nice tune
+ clean, functional graphics
I listened to the soundtrack but I probably shouldn't rate the sound without playing the game too, so no ratings from me!

I wish the shooting mechanics was used for more things than just sliding though (and racing against the clock). Some of the later levels were a bit annoying because of the restarts needed when making a mistake.
The music became a little annoying after some while.
