Oh man,this really gives me those old school 8-bit times… And thats why it is good!

It really gives back those 8-bit platformer game feeling thanks to the music,the enviroment and that weird character. Anybody can fool me that this came out on NES 30 years earlier if someone ported this onto that.

The gameplay is actually harder than it looks,as it requires to move blocks,place blocks in places that will help you reach certain platforms,and placce blocks in slots in order to progress to the next level. Also, gotta watch out for falling down,and the obstacles.

However this "restarting the player to gain progress and to avoid death" is pretty unnatural for me, and probably many others as well. The only time i wanna reset my character is when i fuck up something.

Overall,superior work,keep it up!

not bad, but the control layout is a little awkward and there are no instructions in-game. Other than that, good game

Music is fine at first but after a bit it does get a bit grating. I understand that's to replicate old school soundtracks but it doesn't mean they were all necessarily good. I like the concept of soft resets being used to the player's advantage too.

But there's a couple places where it cuts so close to the traps because of the limited movement that it doesn't feel like I'm improving every time I fail, it feels more like everything is skewed against me. I know exactly how to solve the puzzle but I can't actually do it for several rounds because I can't physically move fast enough to get away from the traps.

Overall I do enjoy the concept and I think it's put together well. Could use some adjustments and a little more substance, but for a short test of concept of sorts, it works well.

A bit finicky, but still fun. Short, though.

pretty boring and not really that fun
