Great job!
@GodsBoss: I made a couple tests (on Ubuntu) but couldn't reproduce your issue, sorry. While the square can (rarely) get stuck, pressing R to restart the level normally fixes it. If the whole game got stuck you may have had a JS error?
Will try again at home, I'm now at work and was able to play (and win) the game, a great one for sure.
Had a good time. Great mood!
I really liked this game. Great narrative and good 'loading/downgrading' of the graphics. The humour was right up my street.
The gameplay was just complex enough to be interesting, while maintaining a simplicity that suited the game well.
I must say I really enjoyed the story. Subtle irony with respect to conventional love stories and a proper cliffhanger. The mood could be complemented with some sound, but I felt the story broke through and immersed me.
Overall, it was a nice experience, but in the beginning it was a bit frustrating.
I had some issues with the controls. I couldn't figure out how to jump with Circle. It wasn't immediately obvious that you jump more if you're horizontally moving. Also, occasionally, Square wouldn't go to the edge. It would stop almost there leaving me a bit stuck. Somehow the controls felt a bit fidgety in the end.
About your game: I completed the 17 levels. I have fallen in love with your game. I like the little story of love, and how they complement each other and have to change shape to solve a cleverly designed puzzles. Very funny when loaded graphics. 5/5
Absolutely brilliant narration, great level design idea, cute assets, really good work :)
PS disable the scroll on space key in your javascript, it's a little disturbing on little screen and it prevents me to see the top of the levels when I switch shape
Again thanks for all the nice comments. Actually I didn't expect that most people would take the time to read and enjoy the story... How the writing turned out to be the most praised aspect of the game is a very interesting lesson!
Over all i just loved the game form the start to the way it ended nicely done :D. Also the level design and the way you introduced the characters was simply awesome.
The feed backs, the way the BG changes..nice :D Although i wish there was sound but.. i understand :p anyway all the best.. great entry keep up the good work (:
The graphics are just perfect for this game, the mechanics work flawlessy. Too bad it didn't have sound.
Also +1 for a game with terminal emulation for story telling, I did that last time :D
