very cute game, it really goes with the theme :D
Thank a lot for taking the time to play it and leave a comment! I really do appreciate it.
Amazing idea , I love the movement of the stone .
The hard mode with the penaly is a verry good idea too !
Thanks! I tried to make sure the movement of the stone was balanced to the speed of the player to be just enough to be helpful but slow enough to encourage the player to move around themselves too.
I wish I would've had more time to change up the level and obstacles in the hard mode but I'm glad I was able to put it in there at least!
Wow! The idea is very cool and really makes you want to improve it!
Thank you so much! I'm definitely planning on messing around with the game and the overall idea more after the jam. There's a lot more I wanted to do but just ran out of time!
