The music was good. I think the game would really benefit from some lightning and post-processing. Gameplay is interesting, catching and fun.

Feels very challenging! My only peace of feedback is that once game launches it takes a while until first enemy appears on screen, gameplay could start a bit sooner (or is there some key I have to press?).

I also enjoyed the simplistic graphics (I was a huge fan of Thomas Was Alone and this reminds me of it) and chill music. The gameplay is theoretically great but a bit clunky - I think the fight could just be placed above the three zones and the blocks would therefore fall in a straight line. \nPotentially they could just end up in default inventory if you do not catch them (overfill would disappear). \n\nThe key struggle is that the blocks are hard to catch with a mouse, hard to \"grab\" and it seems really hard to get all of them, sort of clunky difficulty factor that can be frustrating.\n\nBut this game can be absolutely amazing, I love it, if you have a chance, do finish it.
