Collision boxes sometimes feel a bit off though. Or maybe it's that the cube looses horizontal velocity. But sometimes it gets stuck when it seems like it should be able to go further. There's a gif of what I mean:
Gread job overall!
EDIT: Just beat it, lot's of fun!
Thank you for your feedback!
This behavior is intentional. The player can't control the character when it is in the air.
In hindsight I could have approached this differently.
First I didn't know how to to anything and randomly clicked everywhere. First "wow" moment when I clicked the cube.
The puzzles were ok, it was more like get them in the right position so your jump doesn't cancel while jumping against a wall. I really really liked the distortion (?) effect that happens when you release other cubes out of their static state, really really cool.
I got to the green cubes and then I didn't know how to advance since I couldn't get any more over with me. Also having the cubes go wild after not interacting with them is really crazy, but in a good way :)

I didn't like the movement of the boxes and the jumping, it felt slow. Also you sometimes you couldn't reach. It felt quite slow.
This could be a great game with more polish :smile:
Still, what's here isn't bad. And you worked well with the minimal art style.
