Long time since i played a "Move the box" kind of game, it seems so far like a really good evolution. Guess at some point we might be able to get more items than seeds, also the Boss Idea is really great, hope you get some help with a trusted assistant of any kind to design the new mechanics. Could see this in the Mobile Stores with some Ads as a trade of for some currency, or as some Single Payment full Game. Wish you the best!
Hey thanks for trying out Nymble 2! 😊 Glad you enjoyed the boss concept. More than just seeds? Haha, you might be on to something there. I'm keeping things under wraps for now, but there will be quite a few surprises in the full version...
Yeah, I previously released Nymble 1 for iOS—it's already out. I used to serve ads, but it became a hassle to maintain, so I just made it a paid game with free "lite" version.
What a neat idea for an action puzzle game! I though I wouldn't see new ideas in this genre but you surprised me with this. There a lot of potential with this concept and it seems you covered it nicely. Brilliant work!
Hey, thanks for your feedback! Haha yeah, in most puzzle games, both feet stay on the ground. But in Nymble, you jump. Stay tuned for even more surprises the full game. 😉
Hey thanks for checking out my game. Yeah I used a bit of AI behind the scenes to design some of the algorithms and placeholder content. Let's talk more on X: @NymbleGame
ok heres my rating on the first world its very hard even tough it should be easy but its okay the flower enemies are kind of annoying and soft locks without using level reset is annoying and the demos frog boss was very cool
Yes, the flower slimes do tend to block your way—part of the challenge is planning where to kill ‘em, so you can still reach the goal. 😎 Nice you were able to reach the boss; it’s not easy to get there. Thanks for playing!
I like this. Relaxing. And satisfying when you solve a level. Good difficulty curve as you progress. I will note one very minor frustration. Parts of Level 20 are just traversing to the next puzzle room. Having to move one square at a time just to cover that distance after a death/reset is every so slightly annoying. I can't think of anything else I didn't like, though. The first three levels, I would say, are the tutorial. Level 4 is the first real puzzle (and it's appropriately gentle). But I remember playing the first three levels and thinking this game is too easy. Why am I getting three stars for doing essentially nothing? Maybe making it a little more obvious that the game is just teaching you in those first few levels would prevent cynical bastards like me from smirking. But then again, there's a lot to be said for showing rather than telling... Very nicely done overall.
Hey thanks so much for your feedback—glad the difficulty curve felt good.
Yeah, I see what you mean. The check points are always placed as separate rooms between puzzles rooms to kind of break the rhythm and function as architectural interest. But I see your point. Will see if I get more feedback on this from others.
That gives me an idea, regarding the tutorial levels. Maybe if I overlaid some arrows and stuff, it would feel more like a tutorial so first-time players won't think the game is too easy.
Hey, I am using GameMaker Studio for development, and Aseprite for pixel art. Probably best to use a desktop for game development though. A mobile phone isn't really the best for writing thousands of lines of code lol…

I've completed the first 20 levels, and I really enjoy the game. It can be challenging to determine the right moves to make, but it's not impossible. I particularly liked the design of level 20; it feels like a summary of the past 19 levels. The game is fantastic, and I hope to finish it one day when the opportunity arises.
Hey, congrats on getting past Level 20! The full game will feature several more of these larger "boss" levels. The demo will get updated from time to time, so feel free to follow my account for updates.

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed all aspects of the game, especially the music, as that's why I got into game dev in the first place.
I have considered incorporating a bit of narrative into the game now and then, since it is based on the fairytale after all. Thanks for the suggestion!

i loved everything!!!!!! It was challenging enoiugh to wear you can have fun and have your brain get tickled through out thr process!!! Love the syle of the game and the music its very cozy and nostalgic!!!!! Overall 11/10 would recommend!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks so much for your feedback! I’m glad to hear the game was challenging and fun at the same time. It’s awesome that you noticed the music—it’s what got me into game development. ☺️ which platform would you imagine playing this type of game on?
Lovely game. Fun puzzles & mechanics. Nice graphics, sounds & music and controls. Also good and easy to understand tutorial without text. Only thing I personally would like, is an option to deactivate screen shake. And level 20: chefs kiss.
Thanks for playing and leaving your feedback! Appreciate the note on the screenshake customizability; I've seen as an option in other games. I'll keep that in mind for upcoming builds.
Very nice game, congratulations! I finished with 60 out of 84 stars, then it started the bonus levels. I assume the extra 24 stars are for those 8 bonus levels? I got three stars on all levels but it never told me I got all 84 stars.
A really fun game, it kept me hooked for a few minutes. It would be interesting if they added a difficulty level that limits the number of moves the character can make in a match, like in the Microsoft Tinker game.

Glad to hear that!
I just played the game honestly really enjoyed it really enjoyed it.
Also, I sent you a DM on Instagram earlier. I’d really appreciate it if you could check it when you have time 😊
Hey, thanks for playing Nymble 2. Missed your DM earlier as Instagram didn't notify me. Saw it now though.

Hi xalezar — been playing through the demo, the turn-based "every
step matters" framing is doing a lot of heavy lifting and I think
it's underrated as a design choice for puzzle platformers.
Quick reach-out: I'm putting together Loom.Game, a small curated
showcase for AI-assisted games. The angle is workflow-deep — each
listing comes with the creator's notes on which AI tools did what
(art / code / audio / writing / level gen / etc.), so visitors come
out understanding *how* the game got built, not just *that* it did.
I saw the "AI Assisted" tag here and was wondering if you'd be up
for a short async chat about Nymble 2's workflow — and whether we
could feature the demo on Loom with the playable build embedded and
links back to nymblegame.com / itch / your socials. We're focused on
editorial depth rather than catalog volume; happy to time anything
we publish around the iOS / Steam launch windows if that helps you.
No pressure at all if it's not a fit. If yes, what's the best place
to continue — itch DM, your homepage contact, or X?

This game is fun as i struggled alot but i feel so smart after
Glad you had fun! I made some of those levels really hard, so you should feel smart. 😎
Dude how did you created it ,like which code and the graphics I wanna make too so just wanna know can you please say,I wanna learn in my mobile

I cleared up to level 82. Nice graphics, music, and puzzles!!
I think it would be more immersive if there was a little more story or dialogue.

GG, Game very chill I like
The new gameplay! Peak
Parabéns pelo jogo incrível! Jogabilidade simples, objetivo bem definido e um "combate" estratégico e divertido.
Muito obrigado por jogar! Que bom que você gostou do design de combate haha. E você está certo, é definitivamente mais estratégico para um jogo de plataforma e quebra-cabeça. (Desculpe pela demora na resposta, sua mensagem foi filtrada como spam por algum motivo.)
Really good puzzle! Nice work!
Thanks so much!
damn this is so cool! it reminds me of bloxorz (the flash game) insane work! im curious if this is an in house engine or something like unity/godot…
Hey, thanks for your comments! Yeah, I know the game Bloxorz—it's the one where you try to get a 2x1 block to tumble into the hole, right?
Nymble is built in GameMaker Studio.
a creature preventing jumps is a very interesting mechanic
Yup, planning ahead and predicting enemy movement become increasingly important as the levels get more complex. Thanks for playing!
really enjoyed this!
Glad to hear that!
At first sight it looks cool isnt there like a standalone
Thanks, I’m currently working towards several standalone builds in 2027, including mobile and desktop. Nymble 1 is already out for iOS.
The graphics are very good and the gameplay is strategic with a good challenge.
Thanks! Glad you liked the graphics and challenging gameplay.
Very fun and engaging!
Glad to hear that—thanks!
i loved everything!!!!!! It was challenging enoiugh to wear you can have fun and have your brain get tickled through out thr process!!! Love the syle of the game and the music its very cozy and nostalgic!!!!! Overall 11/10 would recommend!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

im gonna by the game on macbook when it comes out
Thanks, that’s awesome to hear!

GOOD
wow
The credits :D Special thanks should also be "Vincent Lo" xD
But otherwise, nice game! :>
Thanks!
Nice
Please put a price on it, it's really fun, congratulations, the soundtrack is wonderful and the pixel art is fantastic 🤩🤩🤩
Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm especially glad you noticed the music too 🤩
iOS release is planned for 2027. I am preparing for Steam release on Mac and PC too. Stay tuned! 😎
Uuuuh I can't wait for the desktop release!
Very nice game, congratulations! I finished with 60 out of 84 stars, then it started the bonus levels. I assume the extra 24 stars are for those 8 bonus levels? I got three stars on all levels but it never told me I got all 84 stars.
Hey thanks for playing! Congrats to you as well for getting all the stars! 🌟
Yeah you’re right, the max star count incorrectly includes the bonus ones. I’ll fix that in a patch. Thanks for reminding me!
A really fun game, it kept me hooked for a few minutes. It would be interesting if they added a difficulty level that limits the number of moves the character can make in a match, like in the Microsoft Tinker game.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! If you get a chance, try level 20, it's a special one...
I just looked up Tinker and it looks like my kind of game! Seems like it was discontinued though unfortunately.
Thanks for your suggestion.
