Finally, minimalism at its best. There's not even a hero in this game... But maybe the level can solve itself anyway.
- Controls: Mouse, AWD, arrow keys
- M to mute the annoying music (might need to hit more than once)
- R to restart
Note: Might take a while to load.

Hey, why don't you at least leave it up for those of us who DO have chrome!
Sorry for the delay, the joys of going back to work... It's ALL FUNCTIONAL THIS TIME :D
This is a really well designed game and its really fun and the graphics and sound fit it really well. The levels became really challenging by the end but had really cool ways of doing it so great game ;D
Gotta say, The looping on the music tracks is really really terrible. It's a pretty fun idea though
You left an odd comment on my entry, perhaps you rated a different one? There's no fire in a bar in mine...
I actually quite liked the music loop. The select sound effect was a little grating. Overall, a good little puzzle game.
Nicely done! I found myself engaged and having fun as I moved through each of the levels. The introduction of new block types and the basic game mechanics were great! I thought the soundtrack was nice. I really liked the puzzles, but I'm not sure I got the whole cave idea.
It's taking a bit to load. Loved the concept and levels. Good job!
@Dark Acre Jacks: Indeed I commented twice, disregard the second one it was for another game (too bad we can't delete comments ><)
Probably my highest rated entry, such an interesting idea. Very fun and relaxing. Please port this to Android, would love to play this on my phone.
Nice music, but the looping problems disturb a bit the mood of the game.
You deserve yet another comment for how fun this game is, I just played it again. Please expand it! Hope you get great ratings.
Very nicely put together puzzle game, with some interesting design choices and fine level construction. Both the visuals and the sound are pleasing enough without being too distracting, although the first music loop, groovy as it was, became grating after a while.
I just don't see the theme, other than in the entry's description. Not having a player character per se could be considered somewhat minimalistic, as it's clearly unnecessary. But eventually the very blocks take on that role, so there's that.
The game is fun and becomes challenging without ever resorting to cheap tricks or getting unfair. And achieving that sort of balance as well as... well, actually making the game, in 48 hours... that, sir, is quite an accomplishment :)
Oh! And I found out that pressing the right mouse button skips the current level. A debugging tool you forgot to deactivate, or a cheat?
Congratulations!
It's confusing at first why the stones float sometimes but don't float other times. Great sense of humor, and interesting puzzles.
Hmm, it's been stuck at "Loading, please wait" for about the past 5 minutes... will try to come back to this one.
Cool !
I only got it to work on chrome … opera and firefox did not work
this game was pretty awesome, i felt i was cheating some levels by being able to jump in the air on some levels i.e. the floating bridge. Love the music and the mood.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Would really love to try this once a link is available. Hope things work out with your hosting service and the game in general. :(
