really frickin fun, good use of the zelda style sliding puzzles. I felt clever a number of times.

Would love an "Ideal" steps number at the start of the level to try and beat it. But it did get me to go back and play another time if I saw that I was below the ideal. :monkey:

Cool idea for a puzzle game and the falling off from the screen was cool visual trick on the itch page. The pixel art and the audio were also cool. I really liked this one. Maybe there could have been a few simpler levels in the beginning to let the player get the hang of the game.

I can't imagine how many times you guys have heard the words "pay pistachio" (or whatever he says) whilst making this game, I heard it a lot playing it haha. Good job, I really enjoyed it, though it's quite difficult! I couldn't get past level 6, perhaps the first few levels could introduce the different mechanics one by one, and then the puzzles can start to get harder? Great work though, impressive!

Nice puzzle game! Fits the theme, and the art is very cute :) The scene with the boss at the beginning was funny too

@ghpxi hi, thanks for trying the game, unfortunately this game only run in chrome. For unknown reason, it not work in firefox. We beg your pardon for the inconvenience

(*we made this game using Godot 4 for testing/learning purposes and found out at last minute that the web build may not work in firefox) :sob:

Sadly it only works on Google Chrome. We are still looking for solutions to fix it on other browsers.

Very nice puzzle game, had my time with getting the best steps. The graphics were minimal but solid & good looking. Loved the voice acting, specially the out-of-bounds line, "I'll get back there, np". My gripe was on having some extra spiced up mechanic perhaps for it, but still works well like this too.

Solid work overall!

a rollback/restart/reset button would really help and make the gameplay more smooth but I guess you guys just dont have enough for more feature, nice puzzle though!

@eggshelldog thanks for playing, you can move out of map, or land on trap to restart the level immediately. When completed a level, you can press left/swipe left to reset the level as well

Sorry I just restarted my laggy computer.
In the previous play when I die it just stuck on the map outside, so I need to reload the page after each dead and I need to stretch the whole route before I really move. Now is ok, my bad. Sorry for talking like didn't really play your game

Cute little puzzle game. I do think it gets a bit samey after a while. After level 5 or so, it starts to feel like the same puzzle but bigger and in a different configuration. (I got to level 10.) But the earlier puzzles are well designed. In level 2, you figure out pretty quickly that you have to start by grabbing the tree on the right, which signals you to the later realization that you have to do something similar for the one in the top right.

Nice work!

Giff banana? Okay, challenge accepted!

I managed to beat 6 levels, got a bit bored on the seventh. Nice logical game, quite challenging on some levels. I like the vibe and the graphics.

I couldn't pass the first stage but congrats on completing the game. Nice little user interface menu and audio adds to the gameplay. Motion and animation goes well with the game. Some instructions and tools tips will aid in understanding the game faster. Best of luck !!

Concept is great! Puzzles are interesting, but a bit tough xD
I also like sound effects, music and arts.

This game is alright, but it's not amazing. The fun factor is pretty good, but it's lacking in innovation and theme. The graphics and audio are just okay, but the mood is pretty good. It's not the worst game, but it's not the best either.

Very solid game with nice gameboy like graphics and tricky puzzles. Funny music, sound effects and intro! I'm quite amazed by the amount of levels you made. I must admit, that I gave up at level 6 out of frustration. The difficulty curve is maybe a little bit too steep for my taste? But still, good job! Something you can be proud of!

Ouch! But it's definitely a good criticism. Thanks for your honesty, this definitely a stepping stone for us to improve and grow.

Nice, a banana picking puzzle. The pixel art is cute and the gameplay is solid. I managed to get to level 7.

Nice game, but quite frustrating for me, too. The first levels were already so hard, I was about to give up but solved one by accident so I kept going. It took ages until I solved level 7, then I got 8 and 9 after only a few tries, maybe I was lucky there. Then on level 10 I finally gave up.

Aside from the level of frustration, a nice game! Well done!

I do agree with some of the coments above regarding difficulty but this doesn't make the game unplayable so it's not that terrible. Overall, a rather smooth experience that could benefit from a little polishing. Regardless, congratulations on your finished game!
