Cactus Chyps is the main character on a mission to defeat the rood dood Dr.Picklespear.

The game features:

-Construction plans in real world space that allow you to plan out and manipulate your model before finalizing it and making is solid

-Platformer mechanics that include Unity3d mecanim animations based off a MagicaVoxel model

-Level loading and progress saving

-Progression! Complete a level, exit through the level's portal and unlock the next level!

Game is tech heavy, but has very little in the way of audio, let me know if you think this is worth continuing!

I can't play because the mac format (.app) is actually a folder, so you can't download it. (compress it into a zip first).

Resubmitted the windows version, the exe was left out, that was my mistake. The mac app is now in a zip folder, since this is my first time uploading to LD, it's a learning process :)

Really rad graphics and plays super smooth. Nice job!

In short: Minecraft meets physics. Not bad overall, but needs more polish. If you concentrated more on making 1 very polished level and less features, but polished, it would've been great. You should work further on this game and make it a full feature puzzle/platformer game.

I like the voxel art, but the controls for the blocks were hard to master.
