I also like that this game, unlike other mouse-only LD games, doesn't fully use the mouse position, which makes it closer to the theme.\r\rIt doesn't play like a finished game though. Block stacking is weird, checkpoints don't register sometimes... Are those batteries even checkpoints? Because I found a spawn point without a battery. Also, if you roll onto a surface for rolling with mouse button held, you don't start rolling, you need to click again.\r\rHey, I got stuck! Can't do anything. http:\/\/puu.sh\/m1oZx\/1e33343bd4.jpg\rBy the way, that part is annoying. Stacking is hard to control."},{"author_name":"Decentsauce","author_uid":"61899","time":"Dec 19, 2015 @ 5:50pm","epoch":1450547100,"text":"One of my favorite games in LD34 :)"},{"author_name":"ruerob","author_uid":"36728","time":"Dec 19, 2015 @ 5:52pm","epoch":1450547220,"text":"I really like the presentation of your game! It is fun to play but really hard sometimes. I didn't managed to pass the moving platform... But I will try it again later! I want to reach the end! The graphics and audio is great. The game idea is awesome! The controls are easy! Just sometimes the block didn't recognize that he is on a glowing underground..

It can be a silent game.\r- Remove the spikes. Why the player have to die? Just roll back and try again.\r\rI'm looking forward for a new version of the game!"},{"author_name":"TiByte","author_uid":"26539","time":"Dec 19, 2015 @ 6:07pm","epoch":1450548120,"text":"The Linux version doesn't work.

One of the best games of the LD34. The mechanics are quite interesting what opens the possibilities to numberless of level variations. The illumination is quite amazing too! Just wish it had more checkpoints, got myself bored to do some things over again, or maybe a proper feedback when you reach the checkpoint? Well, I hope you keep up with the amazing work, I'm looking forward to see this game in the future.

Sometime it's hard to understand why the blocks disappear. The WebGL version feels a bit unresponsive, especially with the icons following the mouse cursor that lag in a weird way.\rIf you happen to make an OSX version, I'd like to try that out. \rOverall it's fun to play and it's a pretty solid idea that could make into a fully featured game.

Interesting use of the second button to switch between 'modes', also the block creation stuff was a neat alternative to just having a jump button.

Didn't expect that, very nice jam game!! I really like the mechanic, although in some spots it got a bit meticulous. But very nice polish and cool level design ideas!\rOnly critique I have: speaking of meticulous – it's not a two button game :)\rIf there had been a checkpoint right after the passage where you had to elevate multiple times and roll over the "dry" spots, I woul dhave continued playing, but I fell right into the spikes after and it was too tedious for me to solve passage again!\r\rGood job!!"},{"author_name":"SHLFStudios","author_uid":"20984","time":"Dec 19, 2015 @ 9:05pm","epoch":1450558800,"text":"love the game mechanic. style reminds me of 140.

Unfortunately I got kinda bored though. The game loop of spam as many squares as you can\/you need and hope the physics pushes you where you wanted to go and then roll to the next vertical\/horizontal obstacle got kinda boring after a while. some more level objects that utilizes the mechanics of the game in neat ways would make it so that game would really shine."},{"author_name":"mike.cullingham","author_uid":"49890","time":"Dec 20, 2015 @ 5:28am","epoch":1450588980,"text":"Good game.
