i did it :3
I have one question to ask. Is this an open source game? Can it be ported to say MorphOS?
So amazingly done. I am curious if there is a way we can mod this to add more levels...
I’m actually working on a fuller version that will have a level editor and a bunch more mechanics.
i'm dump so i can't finish the first level, but i thinc i could like it
Really tough but ingenious level design
if you want to ruin the game for yourself and just know the answers, then here you go:
so good
this is quite peak cant lie
Very cool :)
so HARD but really clever and fun.
Wow! very cool and deceptively hard
Got there in the end, no idea how long, but a wonderful, deceptively simple game.
im counting softlocks as bugs where you can no longer make progress without reseting
undo with z though
too difficutltl
Wow. Some of the most difficult puzzles I've tried! I'm also impressed by the filesize. Very cool. I finally managed to beat it after around 2.5 hours.
made a tutorial. great game!
I feel so stupid after realizing how easy the solution to getting the first box was after spending 1 hour failing to figure it out, only to come back the next morning to solve it in under 5 minutes, I love this game
I'm lost in the middle area ! After clearing the first gap, I can't seem to access any of the above platform, nor move the bottom right crate without getting stuck, what am I supposed to do ? :c
hello i made a video ^
how the hell do i get the bottom right crate ??? im genuinely tweaking i've been stuck on it for like two hours trying to twist the bike around but i just cant find the solution to it
Hint: (ROT 13)

oh i got it now. My problem was that i thought i was somehow supposed to bring the box HERE, not the other down lmao
I finished the game now tho. I think my problem many times was that i thought i knew how i was supposed to do something and spent a lot of time trying to brute force the wrong solution lol
idk why the pic isnt showing up but the HERE refers to this pic
Short but challenging puzzle game (I have to admit getting to the top platform taking me way too much time)
game was impressive
this game is so fun and confused me so much at first but slowly navigating it became pretty intuitive. i love love love love love love love love love it <3 <3
best puzzle game ever made <33333333333333333333333
really like the sounds. would love to watch a video solution lol
funnyy!!!
Really fun ! Cool how you can get such funky movement from this simple control scheme :)
Struggling with the very first crate. Can I get a hint to get started?
try to use the bike's rear wheel to lift up the crate
I love this. I got really stuck on the bottom right crate for a good while, and finally catching what i was missing was really fun
this is fantastic. really clever base mechanic. i spent a while on the right half with a false assumption that bringing a box to the bottom wouldnt help me, but i was happily surprised when i eventually discovered a working solution. great stuff :)
This is so goofy :D
Oh my god, this is amazing! It took much longer than I expected, but the puzzle is brilliant!
Great job!
