PyWeek - Fragmented Space - feedback

I spend way too much time trying to fix the bad sectors, so I typically get zero points.
Otherwise, it's pretty good.

This is one of my favorites. It's very well made and feels complete. The music and the sounds are
charming. The cutscenes and backstory are also very entertaining. I really like the whole
style of the game. It's also well designed: it executes very well a unique idea that I wouldn't
expect to work straight away. The block ordering mechanic for powerups was a nice touch. The
progression is also quite good. Very nice work!

Aw, shucks. I did not have enough time to troubleshoot. I can see from the comments others are
having various pyglet problems.

Unfortunately the game crashes when I try to pick up the first block. Looks like a problem with
the sound. And watching the video, I realize the other sounds weren't playing. Thanks for
making the video, I'm glad I got to see it at least. I love the story and the animations! Looks
like you implemented a bunch of mechanics. I have to say it looks really challenging, like it
would be really hard even without the time limit.

Very very nice! Loved it. The controls were a little bit hard to master. I can't see how they
could be made simpler thought. Maybe with the mouse? That said, very solid!

I gave up at the alien mothership level. Well done game, and I think your voiceovers are
excellent. I found the "space plus direction to pick up / set down" a little cumbersome. This
would probably be fun with a gamepad.

commented the set icon and then it run, win using py 2.7 I dont like the time limit, but that is a
matter of taste

Nice job, I like the style.

Interesting concept.

I could read the instructions or play the game, couldn't do both. Had a small problem starting
the game on windows but the fix in the diary worked.

This game has solid production.

Cool little puzzle game with totally cool looking blocks and de-fragmenter dude with hat.
Weird cutscenes that don’t seem to make sense. Great little tutorial integrated into the
start of the game. Game is kinda fun to play but I don’t think I really get it; not sure if I’m
playing it right.

A great game. Very enjoyable to play. It was a brilliant take on the theme. Not only was it fun to
play but also educational in that it gave a clear view of what is going on when you are
defragmenting a drive. Graphics and sound all worked well together. The wacky story and voice
over were a great touch to break up the gameplay. Really great stuff.

I managed to beat New Game+ :) The randomness could be annoying though, especially if a virus
spawns right near the player on NG+. Also, the first time through, I did one of the tutorial
levels too fast and I missed the part where the light/dark boundary of contiguous files had to
line up. You should clarify what "the correct order" means in the readme. Regardless, I had
fun! Having to form a contiguous span of empty space is a unique idea that's executed rather
well (or at least, I haven't seen it before), and the graphics, sound, and music are solid.
