for "Limited space" theme, you're on a mission to complete all statues in an abandoned ancient Greek ruin. collect the statue pieces for the highest score, or take the trash and make some funny creations, but you can only carry 6 at a time and no more.

avoid spikes and enemies and try to get all statues completed :)

instructions: WASD to move and space to jump, at the far left of each level is a door to go back to the central hall after collecting 6 statue pieces. when in the hall, get close to a slab and press e to start building the statue. drag and drop the pieces into any slot you want and be ashamed of your abominations :)

First of all, STUNNING GAME! The aesthetics are impeccable, from graphics to music. Gameplay wise, however, I had the exact same issue on all 4 levels : before I can even figure out where my character is on the map, I either die to an enemy that charged me in 2 seconds or I fell in a pit after moving 1 inch left. And apparently you can't enter a level again after you failed it, so... It got over quite soon !

I really love the art!

The gameplay has a few problems though:

First of all it isn't clearly visible where the player can stand on, which makes navigating the platforming parts harder than they needed to be.

Second, it is unclear to the player what he is able to do, can the player swim? I felt like I could once I jumped down, but then the game went back to the main statue scene.

Third, the statues aligining minigame seems like a cool idea to me, but its even harder, if the parts are so small that I have to squint at it to see what it actually is, is it an arm? a leg? a torso? I dunno!

I dunno about how you implemented the theme, I somehow feel that it doesnt really fit the game here.

I like the transitions between scenes! They feel really nice and the music is also good.

Oh and your web/html5 build does not seem to work!
