Hey man, I down loaded your source code to see how the game's made and for some reason my anti-virus marks several of your data as a malware file, could you check into that please.
Hey there! Thanks for letting me know. It's been downloaded by several other people before and haven't had any issues from them. Could you let me know which Anti-Virus you use and I'll see if I can check into it tonight?
I use malware bytes.
I couldn't figure out why your anti-virus may have tripped. I've uploaded my C# scripts to github too.

Maybe it was just a false report. It's ok since I was able to see how the save system is implemented as only some files from the library folder were marked as virus. Thanks for the link though.
This is a pretty cool puzzler. Some of the text was hard to read when it was on top of each other at the beginning, but was fun to play!
I see great potential for this little game. I hope you are going to take it further.
A very fun and catching game! i didn't realize i spend half hour playin it! Congrats! it's a beautiful game!
Thank you for playing! I look forward to trying out your game jam soon!
I appreciate the BIY "inspiration" without in any way being a copycat of it. There's a lot of good in this game, including a lot of...well, for back of a better term, thinking outside the box. The main thing I was missing from BIY is an "undo" key--obviously harder here where moves are continuous rather than discrete, but boy was it frustrating to tap a ghost after several minutes of careful box manipulation.
Also: are there really seven endings? I'm not even sure what you'd do on the last level other than the one I found ("true love") and...well, somehow getting to the flag, I'm not at all sure how to do that.
Thank you a lot for the feedback! I'll definitely be adding an "undo" key when I get around to creating a more complete version of the game.
There are actually 2 secret endings and one true ending, with 7 total true loves. Keep an eye on the main menu as you find them ;)
If someone manages to find all true loves I'd be really impressed! Perhaps I'll leave a hint after a week or so...
Thank you for playing!
Excellent puzzle game! I really liked the first few levels in easing the player into the different mechanics and what you had to do. I thought it was pretty clever. I'm not really good at this kinds of games and ended up getting stumped on Stage 10. Still, a great submission to the jam! This is something I could definitely see being fleshed out into a full game. Congrats!
Thank you for playing and congratulations for getting up to Stage 10! I'm glad you could have fun with it.
I'll be checking out your jam soon too!
To be honest, I'd love to see you put together a gameplay video walkthrough or something just so that I can see how to get past that stage lol
Hahaha! Now that would be telling if I did it ;) There are multiple solutions to some stages, so maybe a perhaps a different perspective might help? The title of the stage gives a little hint too. Hope you give it a second shot!
I did it!! I beat the game! Although, two things. First, I think maybe I glitched on Stage 12? I ended up moving through a wall as a person and was in the room with the ghost and the flag. Not sure if that was intentional or not.
Also, when I got to the ending it said 1/7....are there more endings or something?
Once again, great great work. I had a lot of fun with this.
Congratulations! Thank you for letting me know, I'll check that out on Stage 12 and see if I can replicate it.
Yes! There are actually 2 secret endings and 1 true ending, with 7 total true loves. Keep an eye on the main menu as you find them ;)
