In what way does your game fit the theme?
Some parts of the game will require you to reach places that you can't achieve alone. You need your only friend.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes I did, with help from your videos Brackeys :)

  • I really like how the main menu looks

  • The way Friendo teleports to you feels a bit unnatural

  • Good yet simple graphics

  • Some more visual feedback would be nice

Movement is a bit slow , but it's a  fun , simple game and it fits the theme!!!

Also would be cool if you checked my game :  https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/927654

It's about a virus living inside a human's body!!!!

I really like the way player and friendo combine their strength there. But the gameplay is still lacking in some area. Other than that, it is definitely fits with the theme really well. Great effort! ^^

Hey there,

Really like the minimalistic design of this game, visual and audio.

My only concern was that the movement feel a bit slow to me, and having a hard time to dodge the enemy lasers. Anyways congrats on your submission.

Cheers!!!

Cool game, I enjoyed the twist on traditional video game allies by giving me much more of a reason to be by the ally rather then just sprinting ahead. I think the game matched with the theme really well!

Submitted

Super intresting game however I would recommend making the jump less floaty and the movement a bit snapper and faster. In addition there were points in the game that were a bit more challenging (than likely intended), nevertheless it was a super simplistic but fun experience.

Submitted

The game is interesting, but would be a lot better if it was 2x faster. The jumping feels very floaty and the character is not manoeuvrable enough. Good job on the game anyway.

Submitted

Great game but a bit harsh on the eyes.

Submitted

The game is interesting, I recommend not to use too many pure color (you have pure red, blue, and green in the UI simultaneously, choosing a better color palette can greatly improve the game)

Submitted

Pretty fun, I liked the simplicity of the game and use of the theme. Maybe adding a few more sound effects and changing up the music on each level could make it better. 

Submitted

Interesting game, the graphics of this game could use a bit of an upgrade and the ai teleporting to you kinda takes out of the immersion a little but it is a game jam game so thats ok :) The laser beam enemy system is pretty cool and more creative then a traditional run and gun styleso props for that. Good job on this!

Not really good at making art stuff and new to making a moving ai stuff  so i just made it teleport. Thanks a lot for testing mine!

Submitted

Nice game, it was fun and simple to understand. The movement felt a little slow to me, but that did not stop me from enoying it!

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Submitted

Very simple and enjoable. Nice work. Gl in your next projects <3

I enjoyed the game mostly from the music and the ability to explore so much. It was all very calming. I also really liked the way you incorporated the theme by having higher jumps when you were together with your friend. 

I think some improvement areas are visual and audio feedback when things like shooting and getting shot happen.

Congrats :D

Thanks! The music was actually from Grand Theft Auto V though, but I'm not really good at art and audio stuff so I just slapped that in.

Submitted

I feels I did the same thing with mine. 10/10 music selection!

Sure! Thanks

cool game

Developer

Thanks!

Cool game! Nice levels and a really cool concept! The main concept is really cool, but sometimes friendo wont get close enough to me or he will jump down into a pit of enemies and die, but i finished the game anyways! Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I never made an AI that follows around that makes it hard and confusing to start with making that. I will also rate your game :)
