One small suggestion for the future: remember to try to loop the music so that you avoid the 'stop/start' effect.
It would be helpful to have an option to quickly restart a level if one made a mistake or wanted to skip a cutscene. This way maybe it'd be even easier to stay in the flow of iterating through different ideas.
The creativity in this game is fantastic, good job!
Fun game, thank you for making it!
The levels were also really fun! Easy to figure out the solution, but tricky to execute after the first few levels! I had a lot of fun playing! Amazing work
Only critique i have from my experience was the music loop getting a little repetitive when I started getting frustrated with level 7! I generally prefer arrow keys for non-FPS game movement so I had a bit of trouble with the controls when it needed a lot of dexterity to do everything left handed. Shadows on the clouds would have also been helpful for judging my position with the chained Bounce blocks too.
But amazing work for 48 hr! The graphics were spot on - I'm a big fan of pixelated 3D and you really nailed that style!
I hope you expand this idea further! There's a lot of potential to go forth.
ps: it's sad that ancient wizard's magic hamsterball can not prevent his little pet from high tech lazer..
Very solid entry overall, well done !
I got a little bit stuck at level 2 because I couldn't figure out that I could place walls. I kept trying to go left around the lasers but kept failing. Fortunately, I figured out the way to change platforms with E key. After beating level 2, the game was a breeze. I appreciated variety of different levels and challenges.
Great job!
Awesome work with the graphics and everything working so smoothly! I also liked the puzzles, and you had made plenty in such a short time. Really good entry!
Impressive amount of content, and not too many mechanics either, so you get to explore the different ways they can hinder/help you. I do wish it were possible to respawn the dog if you fell off, instead of needing to re-place all the platforms - especially if I already knew they were in the right place, but that's a minor gripe, I enjoyed this one a lot!
