Bad things: It could use a lot of polish in terms of character movement, as the jumps were inconsistent and a little difficult to control. Like other commenters, I also had some difficulty telling which blocks would fall next. Also, the Portal reference seemed out of place and unnecessary.
Good things: the particle/shaking effect was great and really sold the concepts. The puzzle mechanic was simple but fun to use. The idea of exploring recursive snowglobes was neat and fit the theme very well. This definitely has the legs to grow into a larger game with a little bit more time to put into art and controls (and maybe some light piano music in the background?)
I would really happy to make some art for a "deluxe version" just tell me ;)
.
am very happy, best gift ever :)
Such a poetic game, my favorite entry on many points !
I clearly didn't expect the art to be liked so that's really nice to hear.
I am currently working on a port to mobile platforms with auto path finding, more levels and art done by a real artist
Found the secret level. Hint: what is the most irrelevant thing in this game?
I thought it was rather brilliant, and loved the mood/graphics. :)
a great idea. i don't find the secret area :s
really : great work :)
Very nice game! the concept is very creative and fitting to the theme and level design is clever. The character's movement was a little awkward, but nothing that ruined the gameplay.
A longer version of this with more levels and features would be great!
