This game has such an interesting concept, either brutalising enemies or befriending them in order to get them to swap sides and maintain equilibrium. I managed to figure it out pretty quickly, when it worked.
The problem is the game really, really needs a lot more bugfixing. There's a major glitch where the jump velocity gets cut by a lot after you make your first jump, making it literally impossible to make the first gap without abusing a glitched respawn to get across. It's most likely tied to the double jump velocity not being set right. It's not even a browser problem, I tried every possible way to play the game and it still persisted.
It's such a shame, because I really like the art and the concept, and the audio isn't bad either. The concept of a split main menu also was super cool. It would've been tons of fun.

Good animation. Also made in 3 hours. I couldn’t make one character in 1 hour. After seeing the tree, the hills look weird. like brown tree :D.
Interesting game concept, I was a bit lost at first but once I figured out how to play it, it was pretty fun. I encountered a few bugs, but none that made the game unplayable at all, I still managed to complete all the levels. Nice job :)
Really fun concept, and well executed! I really appreciated the checkpoints through the levels, they were placed well, the game felt very fair!
Great work!
Cool concept, and some nice art. Maybe the main menu could be polished a bit more. Good job overall.
i get a bug when i die then respawn and i am stuck on the floor.
but overall the game is good and has a great concept.
good job.
Wow that double jump is crazy
But yes, it's a cool game! The concept is neat and novel, and the art very satisfying. There were only a few movement bugs (got caught on a ledge!)
It's a little tricky to figure out what to do, but once you do, this is a ton of fun. I love the effect when switching between areas. Great Job.
First, I want to say I think some people are struggling with the jump because they may not know they can double jump, understandably.
Pretty good idea but could have benefited from some fixes to how the monsters moved around. I really liked the idea of throwing them in or trying to keep them wrangled on respective sides to meet equilibrium, clever thinking. Good job with this especially with the art.
Very intuitive approach. The monsters are cute. The checkpoint are quite dense.
