A good idea, but needs some refinement. Position doesn't save if you have to leave and come back; you can throw blocks beneath the playing field; the monsters are a bit too hardy; you have to manually restart the level every time, even if all your blocks are out of bounds or stopped; and the bones button should ask for confirmation. Nice aesthetics and simple but challenging puzzles, tho.
I tried all the subtitles and titles for James Pond from the wikipedia page on it and STILL haven't go the answer. You should just make it James Pond, because I have no idea what answer you want if the ones I've tried don't work.
@jojolagger I did not know that new game+ works for that, my thanks. As for my suggestion of "hardcore" vs "normal", I meant on top of the difficulties, like in roguelikes. Regarding the autosaving, you have a good point that it's unrealistic to expect the hardest ending to be easy, and I rescind my criticism on it. I just wish the game told you when exactly it autosaved, either by stating it in the game information or with an icon of sorts when it does so. As it is, I'm not really sure what "from time to time" exactly means. Up to 4/5 then.
Fun game, but EXTREMELY annoying that it autosaves on death, nor that it has any indication of this beyond paying very careful attention to your money/exp. I was trying to get the special ending on hard mode and accidentally pressed up instead of down in one of the stages, crashing into a wall and dying. Now I have to restart the entire game, because you can't die before the last conversation in Ginny's path if you want to complete it.
I understand punishing the player for death, but it's extremely frustrating to expend time and energy only to have all your efforts wasted due to a simple mistake. I'd suggest having "hardcore" and "normal" modes for the game where the former autosaves on death and the latter doesn't, or at the very least some information about when the game autosaves so people are forewarned.
Otherwise a fun game, although the art for the stages is a bit lacking at times. 3/5
