How to play

QWSD or the arrow keys to move and space to restart the level

Why ?

Why not ? It's my first game with Godot and I didn't wanted to make something too big. I'm not really intested about the score, I had my fun doing the game and learned quite a lot. Godot is surprisingly nice to handle and I'll be definitely use it move it forward.

Thanks

My friend Zalfos made most of the levels you can actually play so I can really thanks him for that because this game wouldn't have been what it is if not for him.

I hope you'll enjoy this simple game. It can be done in less than 10 minutes (unless you're not the smartest tool in the shed :laughing: )

I saw another game with similar mechanics! It's a good use of the theme! I wish there's a way to restart a level when I get a box stuck in the corner. I had to refresh the entire webpage to restart! Overall a fun game and it feels pretty completed!

Fun game, I especially liked the tiles that disappear after you get a crate on the target.

Very polished and well executed! Managed to beat it so it turns out that I am a sharp tool in the shed :D

I found the little variations in gameplay pretty enjoyable. The lightswitch was especially fun when it happened, but too bad I had to restart the level because I didn't memorize it perfectly the first time lol

Fun little sokoban game! I loved the unique spin you put on a few of the puzzles. It was also just a really relaxing and calming experience overall, with the music and lack of pressure, and I enjoyed the little fanfare you got at the end. Great work! :)

Good game. I like the level where everything goes dark and you need to remember the pattern.

Really fun game. Undoing turns would be handy.

Wow this game feels very polished, love how you were able to add so many mechanics. Also I definitely beat it in under 5 minutes :sweat_smile:

I went through to the end. Thank you. Several times I was pleasantly surprised.

Really fun little game! Simple in design, but the extra mechanics made it fun. Very nice puzzles that felt good to finish. My main complaint would be that some colors are difficult to distinguish when you're colorblind. Maybe consider making a colorblind mode in future games, or build your games around distinct shapes instead of distinct colors?

but seriously, good game, at first i thought it was low effort entry, but the following levels are very nice! why is the last level so strange?

also it's sad that there were no undo button

The lights-out level got me good, haha! Great game, especially taking into account this one being first project on the new engine. There is a lot of variety and even some interesting mechanics. Man, there's even config for sound! The only little suggestion I have is that the buttons in the menu would probably be more intuitive if you could've press them by clicking the text itself too.

Great entry!

@syntaxxor You're the very first one that ever "complained" about the fact one of my game is not colorblind friendly. Interesting point that I had never really took in mind and I'll try to think of it for the next time around. Sure, blue and slightly darker blue maybe wasn't the smartest choice but I didn't wanted to make it too obvious too.

I'll think of a solution for the next time around for sure !

@kiberptah It was meant to be this way because it was the last level and it felt like a nice "conclusion" to me.
I thought about spelling "Congrats" or something but eh, I liked the weirdness of that last level.

Though it is just another Sokoban, it has pretty nice details. I love the feedback when player finish a stage! The gameplay is classic and as fun as Sokoban lol. You and Zalfos really did a great job and a nice start with Godot!

Nice entry, even more considering it's your first try with Godot!
Great job! :wink:

Without a doubt, a very good entry, great puzzles. At a certain stage when I walk everything becomes dark, I don't know if that's part of it, but I can't solve it when everything is dark. I don't know if it's a bug

A simple and pretty fun puzzle game. Introduction to new game mechanics was sometimes a bit confusing, but else a pretty good little jam game.

Difficulty is quite well managed !

Such a lovely little game, thank you for sharing! I'm glad more people are trying godot too. The level design was fun and the music and sound effects were a joy to listen to.

A very nice puzzle game, I got to the end without too much difficulty (apart from the lights out level, I'm not sure I'm a fan of that).

I'm not sure about your earlier comment about not wanting to make the colour distinction too obvious. Why not? I feel that in this sort of game the challenge is to find a solution, not to figure out the question.

this is really well designed! i got a little chuckle at the victory toot (it's very cute) and i had a blast with the cool mechanics that tied in very well with the limited space aspect. sokobans really were a prime genre for this theme. big big fan of this one of my favourites so far
