Introduction


This is a puzzle game. Control the main character to leave the room.

There are 10+ levels with puzzles, and a simple story about the room and love.

It is a small puzzle game inspired by Klotski. However, it is totally different from Klotski due to the gravity. Please reconsider your strategy if you ever played Klotski.

Controls


Use mouse drag & drop to move.

Helper keys:

* Keyboard [R] to restart level;
* Keyboard [P] to go to previous level;
* Keyboard [N] to go to next level ( CHEATING do not do this unless you feel the puzzle is really too difficult).

This HTML5 game requires WebGL support. Please play with latest Chrome or Firefox.

I forgot I was playing LD games for a minute, definitely a fun puzzle game.

SPOILERS but it was sooooo sad

That was beautiful, so simplistic but complex at the same time. This has tons of potential.

Short and sweet! Well... sort of sweet, more depressing really. I loved how you incorporated the story with the mechanics. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but when "she" was introduced and the game became harder I thought that the story and gameplay was a bit disconnected (to me as a player, she was just another obstacle); but then when the game became easier I also kind of missed her (because the game is only interesting when it's actually a challenge). The gameplay, graphics, and sound all succeed in doing everything they functionally have to, and the game just has a nice overall tone. Great game! (Although I do wish it was a bit longer.)

@ethan-nachreiner Thanks for your comments.

I think first several levels should be easy enough, so the second section (she came) and the third section (she left) are generally harder. I did not have much time to research the game mechanics. The difficulty control is not well enough currently :(

However, she is just keep bringing everything and do no cleaning. It is also a kind of "love" :)

Great story and puzzles! The music did get a little repetitive though

Love the graphics! The gameplay is really good. I didn't get so far but you've managed to implement a lot of levels.
Hats off to you!

@jens you can try keyboard [N] if you find a level is too hard for you

I really enjoyed this game. So simple, yet very touching. The music got a little repetitive, and the levels could do with a bit more challenge (I found the whole thing to be a little too easy) but a fantastic effort for a two game solo game.

Amazing storytelling! Great use of the theme :) Loved it!

That was great! I found oe one of the puzzles disproportionately more difficult than the others but it was nice.

Really special game, great job. Love how the music seemed to sync with moving boxes rapidly.

Pretty much a masterpiece. Cute story, solid mechanics, good puzzles, charming evolving music.

If anything could be improved I would say it's the visuals and overall presentation. They get the job done, but it's just the weakest part of what you have here.
Possibly some kind of sound effect or "yay" when completing puzzle.

Overall AWESOME Jam game.

I liked how relaxing it was. The puzzles were relatively easy, but that's okay. Overall very charming.

Really enjoyable puzzle. I like how there is a story behind everything. There were some challenging parts but overall wasn't that hard.

Keep up the good work! :smile:

Wow, very nice puzzle game! The puzzle mechanic was very simple and easy to understand but changes things up with different size obstacles and slightly more complicated layouts. It's not too difficult but this would be a lot of fun if developed further outside of Ludum Dare.

I loved this!

The simple story is perfect for the simple mechanics, and all the levels are challenging enough to be satisfying to beat!

The best game I've played for this jam! Really well done!

Making people feel things with such a small game is really really hard. For me, everything is well done here. Right now this is my favourite game of the jam (it doesn't look like a jam game at all by the way!!).

This is simply excellent. Loved this. A nice touch that was perfect polish was the song changing to have two melodies that matched when "she" arrives. Loved it. Superb!

@isubka Thanks! I also love your game. It is solid, interesting, and carefully designed in every aspect. This is my 5th game jam. This time I tried not to focus on the graphics and the detailed level design, but to do my best on storytelling. It resulted in a game which was different from other games I made before. I am glad you enjoyed it!

And thanks to all the advices and encouragements above!

Good twist on a classic puzzle. And an equally good use of the theme. The game is pretty simple and intuitive, but has good challenging depth. I liked how the music changed near the end.

Oh nice story and game LastLeaf! I did truly enjoy this game! From sound design to story and game mechanic with a great fit of the ludumdare theme I found this game an excellent entry. Well done LastLeaf!

@king-kujito Thanks! I will do further development with more researches of the mechanics.

I am happy that you feel it sweet not sad ^_^

I'm sorry I had to give you lower humor score, the game is just too sad :( other than that, only good ratings for you!

Wow what a great game! I loved the theme and the story. The puzzles were really fun. So awesome.

Oh wow, this game is great! Super fun to play and quite unique. Seemed like just a copy of that unblock me game at first, but turned out to be rather different. It also fits the theme super well and has very nice graphics, good job!

Lovely game. Simple but emotional. The ending was a bit abrupt but otherwise great job!

Oh my god this is so sad, at the start we hate the blocks she gather and when she leaves, we miss them :cry:

Cool use of theme, I had fun trying to solve the puzzles, they are quite challenging. The story is very good! Well done!

This was so sad, but so beautiful. I love it. Possibly the best story-based game I've played this Ludum Dare. I'm not very good at these kinds of slider puzzles, but I was absolutely determined to see this one through, and I did. For her.

There's not really anything I can suggest. It's short, obviously, but it doesn't need to be any longer. It's already a good enough game by itself.

@f1krazy I am considering making the story longer (adding a happy ending?).
