    Hey! Sorry to hear about your frustration - yeah this mechanic is not obvious and one of the design decisions I made early on was to make sure that at the beginning of every level any level was solvable. However, if your not strategic in your block breaking it can become unsolvable. This is meant to be kind of a non-obvious brain teaser.

    Additionally, unlocking the sniff power will also REALLY help in your search for the wormhole.

    Hope this helps!

    Been looking for a fun twin stick type shooter. This is a blast to play! Reminds me of something Llamasoft would've put out, and that is high praise, IMO.

    Pro's: Sparkles, graphics in general
    Cons: Gameplay is junk. Movement lacks finesse.

    Maybe I haven't given it enough time, but for me the best part of the game was the intro (which totally sold me) and I'm gonna tell myself the intro was worth the $2

    I'll have to check out Llamasoft, sorry to say I'm not familiar. Thanks for checking it out, glad you had some fun with it. Really appreciate the kind words!

    Really sorry to hear that you didn't find the gameplay engaging. I'm definitely open to suggestions if you have any ideas about how I can improve the gameplay and movement.

    Flatdog should only be $0.99 in the US. If you're really unhappy with your purchase you can follow this guide to get a refund: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084

    I hope you'll give it a chance to grow on you, but I understand Flatdog wont appeal to everybody. Again, sorry to hear about your negative experience. I'm receptive to feedback and would really appreciate ideas that can help me improve the experience!

    Thanks for checking it out and giving it a shot!

    Hey don't worry about the refund dude, thanks though. As far as movement, to be more specific, the air movement is unreliable at best, you can't really judge how far left or right you're going to move.

    I just felt like I wasn't in control at all.
