If you're not a level designer already, you really should look into it. :laughing: :smile: The levels are so well done.
The polish and art on this is ridiculous for a jam game. Holy crap. Nice stuff.
I also love that the premise is basically a delivery guy kicking boxes out of the back of his truck to the front door. LOL. Might be too realistic. haha
I love the big swoosh effect after completing a level and the pixelart is simple but well done--though the title screen feels a little more sketched than the rest of the game. All the while the music sets a vibe in the background without ever becoming repetitive, and solid sfx as well.
I had fun playing this, good job!
The titles were clever as well because I got a clue about how to solve it from the title.
Great job!

This game was a good core idea, well extended by some fun follow-ups, and topped off with phenomenal execution. Controls were tight and on-point. Concepts were introduced rapidly but extremely effectively with no burdensome textual tutorialization. Graphics were really nice, but taken up a notch by that amazing double-transition of decomposing into pixels that swoop away into a swarm and then pop back as the new level in tweened squares, such a nice touch. And the music was really nice too. An all-around very strong entry that hits everything. Great job.
I remember also being impressed by an old game of yours, alien crab in the rotormaze. You make great stuff, wish we had more entries from you!
Pun aside, it's good platform puzzle game! as mentioned, it's tricky in some levels.
