such a beautiful little game!
the execution is pretty flawless, lots of polishing - very cute graphics, the pickup sounds are simply perfectly tuned
wonderful
The pixel graphics are adorable! Cute game. A level counter would have been nice since I lost track around 10 or so, but I finished them all (assuming I'm not supposed to pick up the pyramid that appears there).

Really nice! My only negative point is that the collision feels a bit off - I sometimes pick up pyramids from quite far away.
This is absolutely beautiful! I love the tiny little details you put into the game (the reflects on the water). Best graphics I've seen so far!
the best graphics I've seen so far! game itself feels a bit sluggish and uninteresting.. but the graphics are very nice
Quite fun! Nicely executed, I like the reflection in the water. Quite challanging.
Pretty fun. It becomes stressful on the higher levels, there was one I couldn't beat. I would change the "Web" link to say "Web (Flash)" though.
The graphics are absolutely terrific. Love it! Strong 5 on that.
The sounds of the pyramids was very pleasant. The lack of music made it feel like this takes place in a vast place out in nowhere, as if it is a challenge of the mind. No complaint. Strong 5 on that, as well.
The overall feeling was kept to the theme.
Very good job! :D
Impressing atmosphere with great audio, good gameplay and a surprisingly high level of polish. Congrats !
Nice and simple. Picking up planks works not as smooth as it should be though.
Really enjoyed the game! The levels got hard and intriguing very fast. I love that the way the level works really makes you consider whether or not getting far-off pyramids were worth the effort of having to run all the way around, even if you just placed a plank to your boat down.
The sounds were effective and simple. Love your art (as usual) but I thought picking up the planks was a bit clumsy though. Overall, great work!
Beautiful game, with excellent presentation. I found myself immersed in it very quickly.
Love the a“bstract water” touch. Nice game and great graphics.
I liked graphics a lot, and the puzzles to place planks on each level were interesting. Nice job! =)
Looking good, but I can't go futher than 2-d level. I beat second level and it cycled again. I beat 2-s level five times and this f*cking level come again. Oh shit!
@SaintHeiser I'm not sure what you mean by 2-d and 2-s levels but I haven't encountered any level repeating myself. Perhaps you are pressing the "r" key which does send you back to the last level you did.
That's a strange game! Fun to play.. not too harsh on mistakes (restart level not game). Good job
Loving simple mechanic of the game, really strange buzz while playing this game.
An excellent and original game! Very simple graphics with great effects and animations! Overall tone of the game is impressive.
Awesome innovation! Great abstract game with awesome art and very fitting sfx. Good job!
Love the graphics. The gameplay was straightforward and fun. Good job! :D
Really fun, simple, puzzling game. The limitations of how far you can reach and where the planks can get you could be more obvious, but once you work it out it's clear that it's really well thought out :)
I really enjoyed it! Congratulations on such a polished game!
I like all the aspects... maybe you could add some music but is not like it's lacking it :P
The quiet and abstract-ness of this was a bit unsettling... but I guess that's why I rated it higher ;)
Good take on the theme. There were times my heart skipped a beat when doubting wether I would make it on time ;)
I'm glad this game doesn't have lives, because the drowning animation was really fun :P
The game looped to level one when it was done, I assume it was finished anyway, but looking at comments I'm not sure this was supposed to happen. Fun game, some decent challenge, interesting mechanics, love the character sprites.
Awesome little game :3
Wonder what happens if you get all the pyramids...
Very atmospheric with all the little touches. I like the fall animation!
Nice puzzle game and well polished character animations. A little bug: you can reach pyramids on a big range and I think in some situations that wasn't your intention.
Nice work. The first time I played, the second level kept repeating. I think there's a bug where if you press the space bar on the "level cleared" screen before the boat reaches the middle of the screen, it'll repeat the last level.
Excellent time pressure with the sinking platforms. One or two of the levels had me just about treading water to get to the boat in time. I liked the level that was all planks; that was a cool switchup. I liked that the game and its instruction sheet fit into my browser window, too.
I had a really hard time reliably picking up the planks. I'm not sure how it was implemented but it felt like you had to be moving, then press space, then collide with a small part of the plank. If you did any of those things out of order (already standing near the plank, space before moving, etc.), she didn't pick it up. In addition, if two planks' ends were close to each other, I couldn't pick either of them up. I had to make sure I left one plank out of the way of another I wanted to move.
The pyramid sound effect was a touch loud and jarring compared to the relaxing footsteps and seashore sounds.
Good looking game sweet graphics and nice mood. Very simple mechanics(a good thing). The only thing that I didn't like was that it is not very intuitive to grab the planks only in the corner. In the first level that had planks I got confused. Also nice idea of timing the level with floor disappearance, but again it was quite confusing in the beginnig because I tought that when you step on a tile it disappears. Overall a decent game!
Moving the plank to cross the gap interested me. The cute characters and environment charmed me.
Very very good & solid entry! I really enjoy playing it. I especially like the mood and the art.
Excellent job :)
Great game and graphics!
Nice and ingenious level design. I had a good time. :)

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.
Weirdly abstract, but fun! Nice job!
