This is a neat little game. The idea is pretty fun and the gameplay is decent. I really like the graphic style of this game. However I feel like the hitboxes could be balanced more since often I found myself jumping out of a way of a falling black only to be slightly clipped by the block and die. Overall a very good entry. Well done!

Very nice idea and approach to the theme, amazing graphics and sound effects. But it is a little bit to hard(to many boxes spawn at the same time). Furthermore, the game is very nicely polished. It looks like the game is ready to be published :)

Awesome job.

Very good game, congrats! The gameplay is extremely simple but interesting (never saw this mechanics before). And the art style is probably the best I saw thus far on this jam.
Great work!

Edit: my high score was 52, but probably could do better if I tried a little more =P

Nice game! :-) A little too hard for me (couldn't get past a score of 6)

This game gave me a really soothing feeling. Even though I had to dodge boxes, the graphics and music kinda made me feel relaxed. Good job!

Awesome game, had so much fun I almost forgot to rate it :)
Everything works so nice and chill together. It's like the music, graphics and gameplay are made for each other. Good job, keep it up!

By the way, my highscore is 90 so far.

Very well made game and with a surprising amount of depth, trying to minimise the amount of time on the ground so the blocks don't disappear but doing so means your closer to the falling blocks that instakill you, also trying to keep towers from gaining too much height so it doesn't restrict your field size.

A great theme as well with sweet graphics and music, very well made all around.

Also I got 166

The music gives it a Thomas Was Alone vibe that's nice. The graphics are simple but nice. I think the falling blocks are a little hard to predict, but overall I like the concept :)

This was lovely! Both the visuals and the gameplay. It also feels polished despite being a LD game. Wonderful job!

Incredible entry. This could be in app store or google play right now. Great job

Nice one! Definitely project that should be released in mobile stores :calling:. If you planning to polish the game I suggest you to remove the "climbing effect" when player in air. When player moving around, while on the ground, this effect helps to climb on blocks, but after jump I think it's better to have more precise positioning. In other words, after I landed on the edge of block prevent player sliding off unless A or D pressed.

Very cool Concept!
I love the atmosphere! Very nice design and great background music.
My only suggestion is, that it may be better if one single block slowly disappears after a second instead of slowly going down, so that you have a better control over the jump.
Overall very cool and addicting game! :)
My best score was 52.

We streamed your game with Danae plays on Twitch. :) Here's a link:

(yay I'm in the leaderboard)

This was a cute game, and the overall experience very satisfying. The game felt simple, but polished, with the visuals and the music fitting together quite nicely. If only we ignore the morbid nature of the little creature's life ;) Also at the very beginning I was confused by the Android UI at the bottom, took me just a second too long to realise that was the intended aesthetic … Oh well :D Good job with the game!

Great little game, game play is simple but super addictive. Really liked the graphics as well. Sometimes it was impossible to move out of the way if blocks fell together. My highest score is 81 but I will come back to try and beat it :grin:

I love that game. The game is easy to grasp and super addictive. The art is fantastic and the music is sooo soothing. The jump SFX is good too. The game mechanics are well designed and polished but sometimes, it feels impossible to avoid the falling blocks (probably my horrible skills are reason). Overall, I think I have fallen in love with your game :heart: It is perfect.

Really really, well executed. It seems to me you did not fall for the scope creep like I always do.
Great simple mechanics with a lot of depth and really nice visual and audio design!

Excellent work people!
Only got a score of 53.

Hope you keep up the good work!

Maybe turn it into an actual mobile game with some modifications?

Cheers

Very pretty!! Maybe in the next version you make the falling items look like the tetris?? :wink:

Very simple, but relaxing and fun game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 39 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHHnWvZj4oQ
