Finally, minimalism at its best. There's not even a hero in this game... But maybe the level can solve itself anyway.

- Controls: Mouse, AWD, arrow keys
- M to mute the annoying music (might need to hit more than once)
- R to restart

Note: Might take a while to load.

Level Editor: Feel free to make new levels using this: http://bit.ly/ZX5XOT

Would really love to try this once a link is available. Hope things work out with your hosting service and the game in general. :(

Hey, why don't you at least leave it up for those of us who DO have chrome!

Gotta say, The looping on the music tracks is really really terrible. It's a pretty fun idea though

This is a really well designed game and its really fun and the graphics and sound fit it really well. The levels became really challenging by the end but had really cool ways of doing it so great game ;D

You left an odd comment on my entry, perhaps you rated a different one? There's no fire in a bar in mine...

I actually quite liked the music loop. The select sound effect was a little grating. Overall, a good little puzzle game.

Nicely done! I found myself engaged and having fun as I moved through each of the levels. The introduction of new block types and the basic game mechanics were great! I thought the soundtrack was nice. I really liked the puzzles, but I'm not sure I got the whole cave idea.

It's taking a bit to load. Loved the concept and levels. Good job!

@Dark Acre Jacks: Indeed I commented twice, disregard the second one it was for another game (too bad we can't delete comments ><)

Awesome puzzle game. Loved that intro!

Probably my highest rated entry, such an interesting idea. Very fun and relaxing. Please port this to Android, would love to play this on my phone.

Nice music, but the looping problems disturb a bit the mood of the game.

You deserve yet another comment for how fun this game is, I just played it again. Please expand it! Hope you get great ratings.

Very nicely put together puzzle game, with some interesting design choices and fine level construction. Both the visuals and the sound are pleasing enough without being too distracting, although the first music loop, groovy as it was, became grating after a while.

I just don't see the theme, other than in the entry's description. Not having a player character per se could be considered somewhat minimalistic, as it's clearly unnecessary. But eventually the very blocks take on that role, so there's that.

The game is fun and becomes challenging without ever resorting to cheap tricks or getting unfair. And achieving that sort of balance as well as... well, actually making the game, in 48 hours... that, sir, is quite an accomplishment :)

Oh! And I found out that pressing the right mouse button skips the current level. A debugging tool you forgot to deactivate, or a cheat?

Congratulations!

It's confusing at first why the stones float sometimes but don't float other times. Great sense of humor, and interesting puzzles.

Hmm, it's been stuck at "Loading, please wait" for about the past 5 minutes... will try to come back to this one.

Excellent work. I enjoyed the music, and the level design.

this game was pretty awesome, i felt i was cheating some levels by being able to jump in the air on some levels i.e. the floating bridge. Love the music and the mood.

Neat game that really challenged me. Had fun.
