Visually very pleasing. It looks polished and I could not find any bugs while playing. It also makes your brain work which is nice and shows good balance.

The idea is pretty unique and the puzzles were pretty good. I have some things I would maybe change, if you ever want to improve it.\nGetting the obvious out of the way, ADD MORE LEVELS. This was a super short and polished experience, and if you ever want to sell this commercially or something, it needs levels. \nI think one of the problems that I had was that the levels felt too random to me, like I kinda just swiped randomly and it worked.\nThat's honestly about it. \nThe graphics were top notch, and so was the audio.\nGreat job! If this were a commercial game I would probably get it. It would be a great mobile game.","format":"md","likes":4,"spam":"N"},{"id":736399,"author_name":"Foo - Squashed Games","author_uid":"foo-squashed-games","epoch":1633494819,"text":"Really polished and fun, one issue I noticed is that if the blocks fly out of the nest, they don't return on Ctrl+Z","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":736471,"author_name":"nardandas","author_uid":"nardandas","epoch":1633495454,"text":"Really nice short game!

The audio is effective and gives the game a relaxing mood. The Ambience volume adjuster in the Settings is a nice touch too, since I've never really seen that in a game before; ambiences are usually combined with SFX, I think.\n\nThe gravity system is simple yet fun, and very easy to learn. With more levels, this can be a commercial (mobile?) game--probably with more mechanics besides the blocks? I never really used the Undo and Redo function, though--I just reset everything to the start if I mess up, haha!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":759409,"author_name":"polkoii","author_uid":"polkoii","epoch":1633935454,"text":"Love the art style and the puzzles are really nice!
