I love the animations and game fell! it reminds me of celeste in its cute pixelart and juicy effects, and the game idea of combining is cool! but This game really isnt forgiving, you take alot of damadge from everything even after combining, and the fast paced movement is super fun, but it also makes you dash into spikes often.

this game has alot of potential, with a better difficulty curve and more forgiving gameplay it could be amazing!

Good job!

Edit: this is something i also wanted to say, its really good that made it so you could navigate menus with arrow keys instead of mouse, but in the pass level screen it forces you to use the mouse, and it kinda breaks the game flow, but im pretty sure it wasnt intentinonal.

Developer

Haha, thanks a lot! Really glad you liked it, thanks for your comments. And yeah, I felt the need to add keyboard navigation to the menus, but I ran out of time to implement it everywhere. Thanks so much for playing though! :D

Pretty nice game. Liked the graphics and stuff but the difficulty increases pretty quickly or maybe im just noob. But good game overall.

Great concept! Really liked the idea of the fusion.

Some things to note. I needed a restart hotkey, the button on the screen isn't a good solution because it breaks my flow and I had to reach for the mouse. Also, the "are you sure you want to restart" was just annoying. Of course I want to if I grabbed my mouse for it.

The enemies have a bit too much hp when fighting them not combined. If while combined you kill them easily then it doesn't matter if they have a lot of HP.

But, it was an enjoyable, creative game. good job!

Thanks a lot! And there is a restart hotkey, it should be R. And I 100% agree, not sure why I added a confirmation for the restart haha, I think I will remove in future updates. And yeah, the enemies can be tough! Thanks a lot for playing though, I'm glad you liked it :D

Great platform game!!!!!!

Developer

Thanks a lot :D

Simple concept executed nicely! Art and sfx is nice, too!

Attacks have a bit of a delay, and the movement is a bit too fast and slippery. When you die, there is a long pause before the screen fade-out instead of an instant-disappearance. Other than this, a really good and polished game!

Developer

Thanks a lot! And thanks for your feedback. I agree, I think the movement can be too fast and slippery, especially when combined. Also the death animation could be a little faster. Thanks for playing!

This feels good to control very good job on that.  The art compliments it really nicely too.  Clean presentation. Well done

Thanks a lot! Thanks for playing and I'm glad you liked it :D

i can't rate it cause can't play it. streamed my efforts here

I saw on your stream, thanks for trying to play anyway, appreciate it! That was very odd, I'm not sure why it was a black screen for the download version. And for the browser version, it seems like there is a weird bug that stops you from moving if the game isn't in focus. Try this: 

If your character stops moving while playing in-browser, click the fullscreen button and then click the black space, you should be able to move again.

A nice polished game! I really like the art and animations in this.

I dont really play PC games and I struggled with the controls, not sure if these are standard controls or not.

Congrats on a great submission!

Developer

Thanks a lot! And no worries, the controls can be little weird if you're not used to PC. Thanks for playing, I'm glad you liked it! :D

Submitted(+1)

Beautiful game! The controls feel so sharp and the game feels so fresh. The only thing I have a problem with is how long it restarts after I die, and the restart confirmation menu. Aside from that the game is so great!  

Developer

Thanks I'm glad you liked it! And thanks for the feedback! I 100% agree, I think I made the restart a bit too long and there was probably no need for a restart confirmation. But thanks for playing! :)
