The art was quite clean, the only problem I had was I forget what the overall goal was.

Thanks hephaestus_rg, yeah I originally intended it to have a proper ending but I couldn't do it. Thanks for the complement though! :)

And Clyde, thanks, I just added in sounds, figured I could since I put it in as a Jam entry. :D

Like the artwork and sounds, nice game. Not sure what the theme connection is though...

Pretty fun, although some of the levels it gets possible to punch your way into losing, which sort of stinks. Also, it feels like it needs more conflict or something. Maybe something as simple as a timer?

Ha, lovely! Love that you can punch through several pieces at once :)

Thanks Tanner!

Marvalgames, I'm sorry, what do you mean?
You can punch up/down by pressing up or down before punching.

Satisfying punching experience :)
I could not see the theme really fitting in here
but had lots of fun regardless

Cool game. The controls were more complicated than they needed to be, but love the character art.

Cool simple game which was fun to play and destroy blocks with a combo.

Hi there. Nice looking pixelart platformer. When I died at start first time around... restarted on a different level ?
Sounds fit the look well. Good job!

I really liked the art in this game, some enemies and a bigger variety of puzzles would be a good step to go in but what there is great! Well done.

Nice graphical style and sound effects! Punching through multiple blocks at once was satisfying. Funny game over screen, but it would be nice if the game allowed you to start over afterwards instead of having to refresh the web page.

The keyboard and mouse controls were challenging. That was my main problem with the game. Why not just WASD for movement, including jumping, and another key for punching? I figured out how to punch up and down, but maybe you could explain that in your description as well :)

Nice platformer. I like the punching, feels strong, but mixing mouse, space and A/D for controls doesnt seem easy to use. Sounds and graphics are good, keep it up!

Punching button on the mouse brought me to a strange hands configuration
The art is good, and the controls responsive, that's great :3

This was fun. Great camera movement. Sprite was tough to control at times.

The mechanics are strange, it felt like I was floating. Also, I didn't get the objective... was it to reach the blue orbs? By the way, didn't see any connection whatsoever with the theme.

That said, the visual style is nice, and I didn't get any aparent bug or crash. Keep it up.

i found it fun to break stuff, but the game was missing interaction (goal, enemies, ...). oh and i found a bug. when you jump out of water and keep pressing space, you can fly

Nice atmosphere and presentation. I enjoyed the combo brick smashing, but it felt a bit aimless.
