The game is a platformer in which you control a box which freezes after 10 seconds. After the box has frozen a new box spawns, this allows you to progress through the level by positioning your boxes before the 10 seconds runs out.
I intend to port this to android.

The game is very smooth - the lighting is nice, the boxes feel chunky, and the controls work although are somewhat fiddly at times. Some of the puzzles/levels were pretty tricky though it got easier once I figured I could jump :/ (you can finish a surprising amount without jumping if you put your mind to it!).
This is fantastic! Love it. Great controls and awesome idea and it looks great too! Post jam version could do with the absorbing of other boxes being tweaked. Found that a teeny bit frustrating on later levels. Will be playing through again when I've got more time. Really enjoyed it and would play a 100 level version of this no questions asked (and pay for it, October challenge hint hint)
Man I really REALLY love the concept; Also awesome that it is about timing and you have to jump at the exact right moment so your block freeze at the right place.
Loved this one! Very frustrating but really addictive and fun. Such a clever concept. Absorbing the other boxes for more time really made the game much deeper than it could have been.
This is the best entry I've played so far. I loved it! I did find some problems, though: -I love how if you fall, your blocks continue to fall until they freeze. However, if you fall for the majority of your 10 seconds (by consuming a frozen black you're standing on, for example) you will eventually fall into a black abyss without background. -Occasionally you see white outlines around the tiles (presumably because of a decimal camera position, but I'm no expert) -You can jump if you're touching ANYTHING. This basically breaks the game, and you can build up ridiculous speeds by hugging a wall and jumping repeatedly.
Good luck with the Android port! Maybe I'll pick it up when it's released!
Beautiful game. Felt the levels were way too big for this idea. Would love to see much smaller, easier to digest levels with 2-3 boxes, and ramp up from there.
Wow! It was as great as the screenshots suggested, and not only the graphics! Nice puzzles (probably should be harder and more controlled though), nice controls.
Really well made, the lighting looked great, the gameplay was solid. Sometimes it was a little frustrating battling with the physics but other than that, was really enjoyable nice job.

That, my friend, is a winning idea. I think you should listen to "tigers" and add the ability to freeze your box instantly. This can be a successful game if published to the Android market.
P.S. if you get someone to do the graphics for you it could look very nice :)

Well done.
