I like the idea, but game is horrible slow :D

It was really difficult to see how far to move the cubes to be on top of the squares due to the camera angle and distance :(

Nice twist to sokoban games. The continuum movement of the blocks make them a bit difficult to control. Thanks!

I loved the music as soon as I opened the game it sets the mood just right and some what reminded me of Final Fantasy.

The difficulty rises really nicely.

It's pretty cool. The physics to the blocks lets you push them around in a way you wouldn't expect from other block puzzle games, tho.

Little twist on the ol' block-pusher. Had to do a bit of physics-nudging to get some blocks unstuck but managed. Not bad! :D

I've never been a big fan of sokoban games, but I appreciate the puzzly nature of them. This doesn't really improve on that aspect, since the odd camera angle, and weird controls makes it hard to focus on the puzzles, and instead draws attention to things that shouldn't be important. Also, where is the theme?

The music is neat though, and I like the indication of speed being the light on top of you.

It took me some time to figure out what I had to do, but it all went fine from there!
Some puzzles are actually quite hard because of all the sliding around.
And I just want to point out that the in-game About screen states that the keys to change the game speed are "W" and "A" instead of "W" and "S"...

I feel like the name promised more than what I got, needs more explosions :)

Interesting twist, but for this camera angle need more visual references. Very nice game considering time limit. I'd play this game more when you decide to polish it more. Very cool experience, nevertheless.

Where's Karate? :( I liked the puzzles but sometimes the camera is your enemy! Nice entry overall

Challenging game. A little friction would be nice :)
