When it comes to presentation, I could talk about the graphics, or the animation, or how well it works with the sounds -- but I think the most impressive is how it all comes together, which would be polish.\n\nInteresting puzzle mechanics -- I mean sliding is an old one, but to have an 'inventory' (of sorts) and making health part of the puzzle is inspired.\n\nOK, nitpick time (a.k.a. it's easier to talk about the bad bits, even in a good game ... sometimes _especially_ in a good game):\n\nThat said, (talking about the 'drop rock' bit) I'm not always in favour if introducing time\/skill based mechanics in what otherwise looks like a 100% puzzle-game. Now, if you're careful with this --like I think you have been in the released levels-- I think you'd want make sure the intended solution never follows a route where timing is important. Still, it's annoying to not place the rock in the right spot, even if all that this means is that you have to backtrack -- which is made a bit worse by the long slides, and the perspective\/roundedness of the corners you need to line up to.\n\n(Now that I'm picking nits anyway, I'd like a 'redo level' in case you didn't pick up all of the points.)\n\nAll in all, well, if you add a bunch of levels, add the point-total to the completed levels, and made a slightly better win-screen, you could sell me this as a completed premium game for phones and I wouldn't blink an eye.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1145732,"author_name":"Missfire","author_uid":"missfire","epoch":1744383385,"text":"Very nice and cute game, both the visuals and the matching music.

Perhaps the amount of steps taken overall and\/or the amount of steps per each level.
