Bro the art is so amazing ! The concept and the gameplay are also very cool but I think the jump would be better on the space bar because on W it has a weird feelings in my opinion. Still good job !

Clever idea, looks like a bug but you can use that bug. Good job!

Developer

Thank you :)!

This game is great, never would've thought I'd see an idea like this. Laid-back game and super fun. Original idea and I think anyone would enjoy playing this no matter your genre interests :D 5 Star <3

Developer

Thank you for the kind words :) Appreciate it.

I think it would be a great idea but a finished stucked in my own "bugs" and sometimes I found it doesn't "works" when it should.

However nice job, nice graphics and music!

Developer

Thank you :)

Very nice looking game!

As mentioned in the comments before, the mechanism stopped working for me on the 2nd level as well, and yes it would be much nicer if you actually had control over when it's engaged.

Good luck!

Developer

We hear you. Thank you for playing still!

The graphics are amazing, the music fits it so well and the idea is brilliant.

Only one issue I see, maybe having control over when the "glitch" happens to build stairs. I think that would make the game a bit easier rather than kind of getting the feel of it.

Apart from that very fun!

Thank you so much! I think thats a great idea, and we did think of that too, but we wanted to make it seem like a bug that wasn't intended so we decided to make it out of your control. In hindsight though I think that would've made it much more coherent to play. Thanks again! :)

I thought the game was really cool in concept but after I made it to the 2nd platform the multiply mechanic just sort of stopped and I wasn't sure how to progress.  I thought the game was really cool though!

Developer

Yeah for sure needed to be more obvious with how it works: It only works on the sides of the level, but thank you for playing anyways, appreciate it :) .

I liked it, the idea is interesting, it will be cool if you develop it.

Developer

Thanks :)

Very solid one. The art is amazing and the music fits very well with the theme. The mechanic is also very interesting. Little hard to figure out when the bug would multiply but you get to those experimenting. Being nitpicky, the cool mechanic is also the only downside: more often than not the clones would cause me to get stuck rather than helping out. Maybe adding collision on them only if you're above them would eliminate this issue and make the gameplay feel way smoother. But again, that's only my thoughts. Overall, was fun to play and looked good. Well done! =)

Developer

Definitely valid points, we were taking a lot of that into consideration but unfortunately most of the team got busy and we could only make use of half a day. Thank you very much for the review!

Definitely agree, some of the jumps were very difficult. We had lots of people finish it many times though! Thank you for the kind words :)
