I couldn't stop playing until I beat it which was very tough. Great level design with a learning curve. It was hard to tell what I was supposed to do when the box was blocking my path for the first time. Some music to go along with it would really add to the atmosphere. Awesome result for the 48 hours!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":711501,"author_name":"JCMonkey","author_uid":"jcmonkey","epoch":1633318548,"text":"nice little game here. some of the parts were pretty easy to cheeze by staying on the edge of the block and avoiding the spikes. maybe make the spikes shoot lightning to fix that, or bigger spikes, or staying on a block too long forces an update and it loses a number. ether way the game was fun.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":712413,"author_name":"Zarkonnen","author_uid":"zarkonnen","epoch":1633336434,"text":"This is a really neat game, and it does a great job of quickly introducing the player into its mechanics without having an explicit tutorial.

So much smoothness in things like the respawning, getting hit and just the tiles disappearing, it's quite remarkable for a jam game. The graphics are brilliant and I really like how you fully leaned into the minesweeper aesthetic while the mechanics are completely different from it. It feels like repurposing an old thing into something new and unique.

Maybe the early spikes could have been positioned differently to highlight that more, like between the plates.\n\nFor the missing audio, I ran out of time at the end and decided to skip it entirely to focus more on polishing. I think this was less risky to do.

Sometimes challenge is difficult and sometimes it is easy. Played trough the end. I found the way to pass the spikes while laying on platforms edges. This is more like counting the tiles, but still should be fun for many different players. You have been creative with the levels too. Fun to see there are much colors. There would be different game world packs to play. I hope there would be some more detailed graphics and even 3d environment objects and the unique style for the game. This fun and kinda way to go game concept and the game. There would be collectables and ball skins or types to purchase.
