I did not understand how to pass the second puzzle. The rope feature is really cool !

Wow really great concept and execution, given the time frame! Well done!

Think puzzle games are notoriously hard to get right but you actually had me thinking before I could solve it :)

Wow, super impressed. Looking forward to sharing with my kids. Nice non-violent "3d shooter."
Very happy it could run on linux to with wine. Although I think I did find a way to cheat...

Excellent concept! And IMO worth expanding. Checked the comments after playing to see whether someone else had found any exploits and apparently they had. You could do what Portal did and make only some of the walls usable to prevent people from zipping around on a slime express. Or embrace it and design some levels around it :grin:

Of the 4 the games I played tonight, this one was my favorite.

This was cool, I like the concept, super easy to understand but its fun, I know you're not supposed to solve the puzzles by sling shotting yourself around, but it was still really fun to line it up and launch myself around. Great job ^^

It feels like shooting spider silk when playing, especially the sound effects when shooting. Very interesting game!

That's surprisingly engaging. Though I found it too lucrative to cheese the game by climbing on the block, attaching it to the ceiling it propelling myself to the sky and to the exit.

Nice!

@eloraju Thanks for your comment and suggestion! We do realized that player can cheat by recharge themselve to ceilling, but we just don't have that much of time to fix it. Besides it is fun to shot your self around the level😂

Very cool! It feels really good flinging yourself and cubes all around the map.
I did (I think) soft lock myself on the first level by flinging the little cube up to the top area, out of my view though haha.
Maybe a level restart button would help with that.

Otherwise great work, well done.

I spent a good while just playing around, so it was definitely quite captivating. I didn't quite get what I was supposed to do (except for merging the boxes) in the beginning, and only realized there's more to it after checking the YouTube video out.

The controls etc. could probably be tweaked a bit still but I liked the idea, and you've made a lot in such a short time frame. Nice job!

I like physics here. I like to break the game rules (the planned way to finish level) and that it allows me to do that. And idk an answer for the question "why are you here?":D

A really nice take on the theme and the controls feel pretty good too! The only thing is that I would constantly press "R" instead of "T" since R stands for restart in my head :)) A really fun game with really cool mechanics, good job you guys!

I don't think I solved the final puzzle with the intended method, I just flew myself into the air on a block, but oh man that felt satisfying to do! I really liked the mechanic of grappling blocks to things and pulling on them, if this was a full game for sale with this mechanic as the core feature I would buy it
