for mac players: this runs a bit laggy, power intensive, and lag spike prone on wine and the text is a bit glitchy but the music and gameplay (including its classic hempulian twist) work perfectly fine, very fun 👍
any way to change window size or fullscreen? it's loading too big to see the text at the bottom of the screen or the volume buttons. unless desperately pushing the window around my screen is part of the block-pushing i need to be doing...
22/22. Hardest part was finding the levels, because, there is a last level and why would a dev lie in a game. Nice introduction into ... non lateral thinking. Hardest was 28dec (before it became easiest ;-)
likw the player icon,the wall icon,the block icon,the test (fake wall idk im making custom levels now and thats what its called in the things section),stuff like that.
Ohh! Sadly they're baked into the executable and can't be changed because the game wasn't designed to support mods like that. There are some unused sprites though in the source if you tinker with the object data

EDIT 2: Figured out what I was missing. still, reset data might be a nice feature?
Yeah, sorry; I somehow always assume that people won't need that but end up being wrong. Seems like you found the save file, but basically all my games place their save files in users\<your username>\AppData\roaming\<game-specific folder>\.
Love the game. Wanted to play in a console, so I wrote a replacement interface wrapper to use your game logic scripts. https://github.com/sparr/IABPG.lua

At first, I thought it was Sokoban and I could easily grasp the movements and enjoy the puzzles. But then my common sense was turned upside down in the middle of the puzzle and it was very interesting!
next make knight movements when you press an arrow key and its matching letter and then another arrow or letter key,it jumps over stuff but there is a red wall that blocks the jump
You've possibly placed the game in a folder that doesn't allow the game to read the external files. Try placing it on the desktop or in the C:\ root folder, in case that helps.
Because of the fact that you've only played twice, you haven't seen all of the game. But yeah, there is more you haven't discovered. I can give a hint if you want.
Really fun block pushing game, I completed the whole thing (got stumped on a few puzzles before having that “aha!” moment) and it absolutely grabbed me! Soundtrack is fun too! So good
I love this lil thing! oh and I pressed Control+S and it killed the music :< could not figure out how to toggle it back on. I also started reading the footnotes at the bottom way too late lol

☆ You summoned an OSC fan (which is me) all because the player looks like Circle from HFJONE-
Hello, fellow OSC member.

Ah dang, I'll need to add support for that. Thanks!

I opened the Map file and hacked an level so i can pass it
ctrl+a exists

Images?

For those struggling on level 9 and can’t figure it out: Tb qvntbanyyl.

it is not working for me
In what way is the game not working?
ITS A BLOCK PUSHING GAME!!!

Oh wow, thanks for the effort! :)

At first, I thought it was Sokoban and I could easily grasp the movements and enjoy the puzzles. But then my common sense was turned upside down in the middle of the puzzle and it was very interesting!
I got 22/22 and cleared the puzzle!
Congratulations! Thank you for playing :)
I enjoy this, nontrivial as it is but... WSAD, please?
Sure, I can add those in
next make knight movements when you press an arrow key and its matching letter and then another arrow or letter key,it jumps over stuff but there is a red wall that blocks the jump
When I open the file, nothing appears. The music plays, but that's it. Am I missing something?
Same :( Windows 11 here.
You've possibly placed the game in a folder that doesn't allow the game to read the external files. Try placing it on the desktop or in the C:\ root folder, in case that helps.
Yes, that was the issue! I had extracted only the executable from the zip and not the Data folder. Thank you for the pointer!
Ooo that level 9.. I mean it wasn't entirely unexpected given its creator is a giant [puzzle craftsman].
Fun little game ended up playing it twice.
Because of the fact that you've only played twice, you haven't seen all of the game. But yeah, there is more you haven't discovered. I can give a hint if you want.
I very much enjoyed this absolutely ordinary and totally run-of-the-mill and totally not strange block pushing game
I really enjoyed the game!!
level 11 seems to not have a b level (1.0.3), but it can be fixed if you rename the level id b10 to b11 in map.lua.
Shoot, thanks!

Really fun block pushing game, I completed the whole thing (got stumped on a few puzzles before having that “aha!” moment) and it absolutely grabbed me! Soundtrack is fun too! So good

Yo, icely!!!
hello :))
Now it's up:
Wonderful game, Hempuli, you remain as one of the shining stars of the indie game community <3
but ur hempuli, not hempushi, wat
Oh I like that
Fun lil mystery <3 Some of the puzzles left me wondering for a while hehe
Lovely soundtrack
Thanks a lot :)
I love this lil thing! oh and I pressed Control+S and it killed the music :< could not figure out how to toggle it back on.
I also started reading the footnotes at the bottom way too late lolThanks! The Control + S thing was a bug, should be fixed now!
it also happens on rude chess
Welp, should've realized. Thanks!
this is good :)
Thank you!
Solved them all :D
Congrats!
