The graphical style was reminiscent of a more whimsical Pokemon or a NES era Kirby game. My only major criticism would be that the puzzles were too easy for all of world one and then ramped up a bit too rapidly when I got stuck on 2-6. But your core mechanic was excellent.\r\rGreat game!"},{"author_name":"DeadFragment","author_uid":"52749","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 12:02pm","epoch":1429617420,"text":"I'm going to call this game, Casual Slap-in-the-face Simulator. It's really awesome! the graphics are amazing and I love the storyline behind it all and the comments the character makes between levels. Also that's some great level design there. Music is really good and not too overpowering, so it won't grate away at you if you take your time on stages. Great game!"},{"author_name":"ryguydavis","author_uid":"15577","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 12:46pm","epoch":1429620060,"text":"I really got sucked into this. It was a joy to play. I love the color scheme, the voice acting, the music, the level design, the story--it really came together into something quite special. I played through the whole thing and then wanted some more. Bravo.\r\rSome much smaller and less important thoughts: I think the text box between levels could do with a opaque white (to fit the rest of the aesthetic). The transparent black didn't seem to fit. Also, I finished 2-6 without too much trouble, but it had noticeably more moving parts than other levels. It could be improved, I think, with just one of the micropuzzles removed."},{"author_name":"Erkberg","author_uid":"24534","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 1:32pm","epoch":1429622820,"text":"Wow, that was amazing! I loved the graphics, the music and the sounds (that "move please" is so cute). The gameplay was really solid too and the game seems very long for a jam entry (I only made it through floor 1 yet, but I'll definitely come back and finish this, I expect the puzzles to get much harder ^^). The only minor negative thing I noticed: When moving there is a slight delay before moving on to the next tile, which made it feel a little choppy. This doesn't take away anything from the great overall experience though, it's just an awesome game."},{"author_name":"tripleVisionGames","author_uid":"12495","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 3:23pm","epoch":1429629480,"text":"I think this is probably the cutest game I've played in any LD!
