OMG

I really like the concept and the visuals look great, but it can be really hard to stay on top of things due to how random the objects falling are. If there was an indicator of where the next object might be falling or a way to control where to drop it, it would be even better! Also a hitbox of some sort so the player knows when an object will squish them. Cool entry!

I have to agree with @cat-lab, It is really difficult to predict where a possible way is to get up. By the time the object is visible, it's too late...

Very cute! it is pretty hard and a little unpredictable but otherwise interesting concept ! Really like it!

Love the art! I found the walljump kind of inconsistent until I realized you can't jump consecutively on the same wall. I managed to get up one screen, but I can't seem to escape the boots...

I loveee the ideea. Its right on point!!

Idea is very interesting, art is really good. The difficulty curve is high and it's a bit unclear exactly what the objective is. The character controller is definitely very robust and there's a ton of potential!

The game has some potential. The character movement was really interesting, the art pretty cool and the idea original.
The only problem I had with it was that since the camera doesn't go up as the player gets higher,till he arrives to the top got to, the player has no visibility of what's coming at him and what pieces to turn, which creates a bit of frustration after a few tries where you get stuck or crushed.
But aside from the the game is really sweet ! Gg !

Beautiful art. Movement was a bit slow and floaty, but the wall kick mechanic was solid. Good use of the theme too :-)

Such beautiful surreal art.
It's a little frustrating when you hit a thing you can't see before the screentransition. :(
Nice concept idea!

Cool idea and pretty art. Lost a few times to sudden objects when close to top edge, but I managed to climb up a bit higher eventually!

The game is interesting, it was quite nice to play it, keep working on it and everything will be cool

Like Tetris, but 100 times better. Especially loved the graphics, very fresh and pleasant. I will be honest, i really struggled! Great idea!

What a great take on "limited space"! Nice work!

Alexandru Barbanoua19 Oct 2023, 23:10

The graphics are very nice, I like it, continued success

BinayaS20 Oct 2023, 13:31

Like the graphics, the screen only moving up when you hit the top seems strange to me. I want to be able to see what's coming down and not die by random when something happens to spawn on top of me right as I'm about to transition the screen. Also only being able to wall jump once kinda sucks.

Nice work overall!
