Very nice puzzle, self-explaining and well done... perfect for mobile
Really innovative concept, man! It seemed like you could sort of "cheat" the first few levels by extruding in small increments - not sure if it would work, but maybe you could add a rule like "you can't extrude twice in the same direction"?
Music and graphics go completely hand-in-hand with the theme.
Couldn't help but give you like a bazillion stars :)
I agree with FunByJohn, when you understand the trick it become really easy to pass the first levels and I was like "Nice graphics, music fits but I'm not playing : just dragging a rectangle".
Then I arrived to the part with the switching walls and later to the small corridors, this part was really interesting and I was really disappointed when I seen that there was just a few of these "real puzzle" levels. (Other timed walls based on 3 or 4 cycle could improve the complexity).
Can't rate audio, because I don't have speakers on this machine. But overall it was fun to play. I appreciated the ease of restarting a level, and found it quite handy. Different and enjoyable
This is very cool, elegant and well done. One of the best use of HTML5 i've seen so far. Also excellent music.
really nive concept, mainly if you work with 3D modeling, extrude = life! hehehehe

all the aspects really well worked, congratulations! =D
Fun game. I think it's definitely something that you should consider working on and making more levels. The changing walls added quite a bit of challenge.
Very nice nice puzzle game, with some innovative game play. I like it very much :D
A lovely game; understandably short, but the last level did my head in!
Really smooth game, perfect balance of graphics and sound, and creative use of the theme. Kudos.
Very nice concept. I got stuck on the last level for a long time but I ended up solving it. Easy for me to grasp because I work with 3d software. Nice work!
Very clever idea. A limit on the number of extrusions would make an extra challenge (hard mode), though some of the maps were hard just by themselves. Would like to see more levels. Ambient sound fits well. Well Done =]
It was interesting figuring out the strategy, and eventually that even failed so good job! :D
Nice mood. Nice music. Interesting mechanic. As others have mentioned, I never felt challenged because I could just extrude one unit a a time and so I never hand trouble completing a level. Enjoyed the experience though.
Nice little puzzle game, and it worked perfectly playing in Safari on my 4S
Very polished. The extruding mechanics worked very nicely. After a few puzzles, I did get a little fatigued. It would be nice to add a menu screen.
Amazing job as usual!
A great companion to nanospin. You're great at these minimalistic puzzle games!
Great job with the audio, but you should note that it doesn't work in Firefox! Really enjoyed the simple touches, like the way that the orange squares break apart when you hit them. Great job!
Superb puzzle game. Kudos to how you focused on making this touch friendly!

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.
Excellent soft and gentle mood but quite sneaky puzzle. Mechanic is fairly straightforward once grasped but still tricky and you have to concentrate... very good. Got to the barriers level - bookmarked will definitely play again later
