Very Cool Game

Submitted(+1)

Amazing game, can't wait to see a longer (and eventually a complete) version of it! The art and sounds fits it very well.

Also, Jorge was a bit hard to control, and it was a bit strange that in the 3rd room down where only Jorge could go there were some pits and the only way out was to teleport back to Sparks. 

But overall it's a really cool game, I hope you'll work on it more in the future!

Developer

Thank you! That room intentionally was supposed to have pits to force the player to teleport back, but I really appreciate the feedback! :)

Its an amazing game, you should definitely develop this further. The sound, visuals and gameplay are amazing.

Developer

Thank you!!

This was really good and honestly can't wait to see how you expand on it in the future.

Maybe I'm just an idiot but I cannot get to the second key.  I don't see a way up there nor can I make the jump.  Also, really couldn't get used to the controls.  Cool visuals though.  Would like to see more

Developer

the second key you gotta jump w/ sparks until you get to a path with Jorge!

Submitted(+1)

I can see a path, but I can't reach it with either character

Developer

Weird! Sparks can double jump, and if you're in the 3rd room there's moving platforms! 

Submitted

I'll give it another try.  Maybe I'm missing something.

OK, so there seems to be a bug where double jump sometimes doesn't work on startup. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for letting me know! Ill have to figure out how on earth to fix that lol

Submitted(+1)

Nice! This is actually really similar to my own first idea haha 😂 I think if there's something to improve it could be the jump/move? it feels a bit too fast/frictionless/abrupt to be natural, and kept throwing me off.. I really like the game though!

Developer

thank u for the advice! :)

Very nice concept, I love how the two characters have so different feel to them, the other having more weight etc.  It was a little bit frustrating having to wait so long for some of the platforms, though.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you!! That's one thing I was annoyed with too, but if I made them too fast sometimes the characters would fall through them lol, definitely something I gotta work on

Nice idea

Nice Art

It needs to improve but is on the correct way!! Continuos!!

Developer

Thank you!! :)

Love the game idea.
I would adjust the character controller tho, it was hard to control sometimes.

Developer(+1)

Thank you!! It definitely needs tweaking if/when I expand on it :)

The game is nice after all. But there are some bugs. For instance: when you switch to the Jorge on a moving platform Sparks just frezeeses in the air. Also wasn’t relally satisfied with how jorge moves. But it’s eazy to fix. Nice game.

Developer(+1)

Thank you!! I noticed that bug with sparks and sadly didn't have time to fix it lol, I'm hoping if I expand on it to refine how Jorge plays a bit more :) 

Submitted(+1)

I loved it so much! You say something about bugs but I didn't find any bug!Anyway good job!

Developer

thank you!! :)
