What would it be like if you only had one skill point to assign in an RPG?

Controls: Move with WASD, arrows or HJKL. You can also use space to jump.
Esc to pause / restart (may be necessary if you fail a puzzle)

The game didn't turn out anywhere like I thought it would since I had to cut a lot of content to meet the deadline.

Made with melon.js, Tiled and BFXR.

Seemed pretty simple, got to the first spikes. Not sure how it connects to the theme?

I think it was pretty cool. The one point RPG made me laugh a bit. It's pretty short but good job :)

So glad I played this! Top marks for innovation here!

Too bad I couldn't see the ending. There is a bug with the wizard entering the first sparkly ground. The game freezes as soon as the wizard disappears and I have to refresh.
I'm using Firefox browser.
I'll check back again if you've fixed it!

Awesome gameplay mechanic! I really like the different classes, their looks, and how you can mix them up later in the game.

I stucked at the "3 rock" part. My only option is to restart the game. Overall I like it. Solid puzzle platformer!

The RPG feel was so cool in this game, Not sure if fps was an issue but if the game wasn't infocus things seems smoother but if I was playing it was really fast and seemed hard to do anything.

Nice graphics.

Really liked this. I would love to be able to spec my character on the fly to reassign my one skill point and change the ability. Think you could make some really cool puzzles this way. Wasn't able to beat the strength character, thought I hit a dead end but wasn't sure. Good job!

I love the rock phasing ability, really pleasing to use.

Very interesting. Love the premise of the game and the extension of the game after various endings are achieved. Got a bit frustrated with getting stuck when trying to stack rocks though. Would be nice if there was a restart from checkpoint system for these puzzle sections. Nice work!

I had the wizard bug mentioned by theholychicken too (also on Firefox).

Awesome game! I loved just about everything about it. The skill point idea was amazing, and I loved how the appearance of the character changed based on the skill point(s) you allocated! Too bad the cut features didn't make it, but I loved that you threw 'em in as an added bonus at the end! The graphics was great as well. Best game I've played so far! Very good job!

Fun platform/puzzle game. Not entirely within the theme as you need to get past the only one part of the game to win. Perhaps a more-in-theme approach would have been to let players switch between the three classes but you only get one class at a time? Still, great game.

Thanks for all the feedback! I fixed firefox teleporting bug. There are some visual artifacts still in firefox, but now the game should at least be playable. For the best experience I suggest chrome.

Wow, awesome use of the theme! Solved all puzzles and got the 2 new skills, but didn't play after that. Do they do anything? ._.

I unlocked one ending, got stuck on the others. I think you have a simple mechanic here that you could continue on. I would have been really great though if the block movements and other changes stayed between resets.

simple, but it is cool. Just one power to play makes you use different strategies to play.

Unlocked all ending, this is really impressive game :)
I'll recommend it to my friends.

The concept is really clever, checkpoints would have been nice too, restarting the whole game is frustrating when you're stuck on a puzzle... Anyway, I enjoyed this puzzle game! :)
