This is Girl. Look how lonely she is. Surrounded by nothing but a peaceful, empty black void. That is, for now.

Girl

Soon she's going to be back home, however there is no comfort to be taken there. The largest earthquake Girl's local area has ever seen is happening immediately. Your job is to rearrange furniture to protect her from falling debris.

The music and art is so good! Gameplay is also good, but a bit frustrating that you can bump into the side of the furniture and die lol

Super cool submission! Love the art, the music and the gameplay. Great stuff overall!
Sometimes the objects that I picked up didn't fall in place right away which confused me a bit

This game was so good! Definitely the best one I've played so far. I had so much fun getting 3 stars on every level. Really impressed with this one.

Really enjoyed your game, its a lot of fun and the art is great!
My main issue was that the transitions took a bit too long after failing and sometimes the physics seemed a bit too sensitive.

Well done on your entry!

The art is really good, the gameplay is fun. But I think the level selecting menu is a bit buggy, since the girls text bubble make it a little hard to select other levels

This game gave me Disaster Report flashbacks. It looks fantastic and the music is neat. I like how the levels have different music with similar melodies. I think the game was slightly too easy, though, and I feel like it would have been more fun with a more responsive physics system.

Really cool idea, cute graphics and chill gameplay. I was kinda rotating objects before starting by dropping them onto the corners of other items, helped me cover small open areas :D. Congrats to the team, nice entry overall.

I really love puzzles and it was interesting!
I really liked the game!
But in reality, earthquake is a very scary phenomenon (

Very cute and well made, all the art and music meshed incredibly well. Love the take on the theme too! The gameplay is a little down to luck I think, as the physics engine is very unpredictable sometimes. But I managed to get three stars on everything! :)

I was hoping to see her happy, but at least she's safe!

Great game! :)

Please put the soundtrack somewhere, it's really relaxing and nice.

Awww the art is so cute, and the music is great. I loved playing it, though it took me a little bit to understand how the grab and drop worked. Well done!

Nice quick game! It's fairly easy to pick up and the art is really nice. I could totally see some buttons and contraptions being put in to add more mechanics if you wanted to continue the game, great job!

This was a great game! I really liked the scoring mechanic being tied to how long your structures lasted before they collapsed, that was really clever. The art and music go together really nicely and I loved the level transitions that brought everything together. Nice work!
