I liked this! Nice and puzzly.

Some of the levels got a bit long, and I found myself wanting an English Country Tune style undo system.

Stopped at the first train tracks level. I *think* that the game glitched out and wouldn't open the exit when I brought the crate over to the button on the southern plateau.

Yeah that's the end of the demo. I was thinking about having a quicksave system for the player to use but I'm not sure yet.

Cool concept. I really like simple puzzle games like these. If you had 50 levels and introduced a new mechanic every 5 levels or so, I'd most likely sit down and play through all of them.

I struggled with the isometric view in the first level though. I fell off the ledge several times before I became accustomed to the the view. I would suggest adding an absolute front, back, left and right view as you cycle through the camera angles. There were a few moments in the game where I was on the edge of the map and I wasn't entirely sure where the cube would go if I pressed up or left.

Is the train track level passable? I got into a situation where I got myself stuck and couldn't reset the level so I had to exit the game.

Great job overall though.

I have something like that planned, alongside a level editor

Hmm, sounds like a good idea

Not in that version

Thank you

Answers in bold.

not being too good at puzzle games, i didn't even finish the first level. getting that cube in the right position to roll over the columns required much more thinking than i usually like to do when playing computer games.
either that, or you should make the first levels more easier.
maybe i just missed something really obvious.

You don't have to roll over the column you simply move around it.

I got stuck in the first real level, not in tutorial. I'm not that stupid. :D

Haha my bad. Well the next version will have a level select so you can skip levels you don't like

Had a play this morning, interesting little game. I very much enjoy seeing an XNA built game on here from time to time =D.

Uploaded a short video of my game play. And yes, I did eventually solve that level, took me a while to realize that middle block in the water had a plate on it. =D

Yeah I ended up changing the middle block to one that isn't a crate so you can tell the difference.

Added quite a few new mechanics, alongside changing the camera.

Update:

More content, bug fixes, changes, etc, etc

I'll just let you guys try it out. As always feedback is appreciated

I contacted Desura about publishing and got this as a response(figured I should share for anyone else who might get something similar):

Thank you for submitting your game. We have a very difficult time selling puzzle and casual games. Unless they are something really special they just don't sell well. It is for this reason that I am going to decline to publish your game.

Ah well, back to making games!

New demo, more polished, more content. Hope you enjoy

Haven't posted in a while, this should probably be moved to devlogs.

https://twitter.com/poe__ I made a twitter

https://twitter.com/6sidedsanctuary and my game has a twitter for when people get highscores, it updates automatically! (The update for this isn't out yet.)

I may have an artist helping me now.

Carts now have shape, so they don't look like other blocks:

They bob up and down too, very futurey!

Tweaked the lighting a bit

Video of an old level with new stuff:

I also polished off the level editor a lot, and I documented it. Really hope people make custom levels for the game

Next time I post I hope the game has good graphics.

EDIT: Also an old visually glitchy video that I never shared here:
