this is very creative cool game
kinda buggy, but fun
amazing game even though level 12 took me a very long time to figure out the solution
I'm stuck on lv 6 mate xd
really good game ! :)
Its a really good game however on level 11 instead of hitting a + ctrl I hit w + ctrl so I closed out the tab lol
same
@fotomelodios It works fine with Wine, and you can play it in the browser.
please upload a linux version too cause in wine cannot run it at the moment. It is hard to make a linux version with the compiler?
great game
such a clever game! the last level stumped me for a bit but figuring it out at the end was so rewarding. it messed up my sense of left and right lol but so worth it
why is lvl 12 so hard T-T
i know right
Just make s + a as down and make d + ctrl as the level finisher
such a good game i loved it
i didnt know you can switch the directions of which key you press thats why i was kinda confused on level 2
Level 6 is bric
HOW DO YOU START THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CLICKED ALL THE BUTTONS AND NOTHING HAPPENS
WHAT DO I DOOOOOOO
press ctrl
for some reason it dont work
glitch
glich
You have to push the ctrl into the box, then click ctrl on your keyboard
Quite a clever game! Levels 13 and 14 were the first ones that stumped somewhat stumped me. More border-based levels would be cool.
When the player attempts to push two or more blocks simultaneously, instead of pushing all of the blocks together, some weird shuffling patterns go on, and then only the furthest block in the stack gets pushed in the intended direction, the other block goes back to their original positions, and the player overlaps with the closes block.
I added a bookmark to this webpage because of lvl 9...
Clever
level 4 is impossible
how do i do 3
nvm i got 3
you can loop if you go into one of the sides
level 2 is impossible
no im on 3
wait till you get to level 12
really good game but gets annoyingly difficult some times. skill issue not game issue so dw
the use of ctrl ik is meant to be a symbolic thing, but it ends up bookmarking, closing the tab, etc.
yes. this is so annoying
17 min to beat great puzzles lots of bugs tho :/
Great, short Puzzle Game the whole way through
really hard, i stopped on lvl 11 lol
Oh also once i had to restart as i pressed control-w and it closed the tab if i remember correctly. :/
i wrapped around in level 2 to fix the controls lol
waghghhghghgh this is goooood! my brain felt sufficiently squished by these puzzles : )
Wacky :) Sometimes indeed keycombos will end up doing unintended stuff, still very much worth it! Short (if you can figure this sort of stuff out), but fun!
BASEDDDD
how do i do level 6
love this game
on lvl 9 i used the w and when i pressed ctlr + w i closed the window and i thought that was how it was supposed to end lol very cute game
beat without the ctrl button
This made me want to try and see how far I could get without using the Ctrl button at all. It seems to be possible only up to level 8, which can only be beaten in the intended way (I believe).
SPOILERS
the press ---- and ---- really fucked me up
just finished all 14 levels.. kinda challenging and fun! nice game:D
Delightful little game!
I just made so many bookmarks...
oh my gosh same lmao
How many levels are there
