@3bt ohh I got that message too, I think it's a warning message, in my case the game loads anyway, if not you can try CTRL+F5. I'll try to get rid of that message, it's in all my webgl builds u.u. Thank you for your comment! Gonna check up your game

Once I reloaded it a few times it eventually worked for me.

Good game, and Cute graphics :smile:

I have to say it was a bit punishing for me. I would get the key of a floor and then be so happy that the door opened, rush over and fall in a hole.

I had to play over and over again about 15 times. I was about to rage quit, but I stuck with it.

The ending made me sad :sob: but was also a funny humorous touch.

I think you have some cool puzzle design, like needing to hop down to a previous level to get the key, then get back up before running out of breath.

I got stuck behind a wall of boxes several times, and I didn't figure out any way to get unstuck in that situation, which was pretty frustrating. I guess it's an unfortunate gotcha of any physics based game.

I think having some kind of way to recover from that is important for a game like this, maybe kicking or destroying the boxes? otherwise it seems too easy to accidentally / unexpectedly get into a game-over state, just because of the boxes, not the water, and have no choice but to wait until you drown.

Was pretty fun! I liked the art. Cut scenes stood out though as being so different. I sort of wish it were all 8-bit.

Cute art! Clear mechanics. Easy to play and know what to do at a glance.

Nice game, cute art style. Boxes got a bit stuck sometimes when they sat off an edge but it was a pretty minor hassle, wish the boxes could be pulled out from underneath each other. Ran into some sort of bug where the water never started rising when the game lost focus at the point when the water first appears, but I was just able to restart so no big deal. Very glad that there were checkpoints :)

Very cute graphics all around with a lot of care put into the design. I quick "reset" button would have been a great add - it made me bummed out to have to wait for the dude to drown each time.

Overall, great job!
