Really like the graphics and the mechanics. It is very rage-inducing because It can be quite challenging and complicated at first, but I still enjoy the process of getting better at each time.
A few bugs:
1. When one of them died and couldn't be reached by another one who has no way to die, the level won't restart. So a restart button might be needed.
2. When I stick the frozen drone to the ground, the mage will sometimes fell off the ground and never ends, or cause a massive glitch when touching the drone.
3. The drone won't stop if you freeze it while moving.
Overall, good game!
your game is so cool. the animation is so smooth!
Thank god I could revive!
Unfortunately I fell off the map when I was fighting the knight so I couldn't move the drone nor the mage after killing (cheesing) it.
I like how you can fly around with the drone while the player is holding onto it.
Controls get a bit confusing though. There is also a bug that if you freeze while moving the drone it will just keep moving alone. (If that's a bug, now that I think about it, it could be a feature)
Nice gameplay mechanics,
I appreciated the thought behind the revive mechanic where if one of the two dies the other one can revive them (Wish I added that to my game)
It felt a little bit tough that both of them die when only being hit once, while the enemy took multiple hits to die. Makes the game a little bit harder and moves it away from the puzzle platformer theme.
If you have a chance please provide feedback on my game.
Liked the concept and the gameplay! well done! :)
Very interesting gameplay mechanics. And that boss fight... was really tough! I only retry once.. but manage the second time to survive enough to destroy... loved the fact that i had to help each other during that fight (drone cure the mage, then mage cure the drone). And when i though the boss's gonna kill me, the drone throw the last blast and bang! Kill it! Really exciting!
Just one thing, the browser version didn't work for me, had to use the download version.
Great game! Congratulations!
Thanks for playing glad you enjoy it.
Great concept, good mechanics, but it's a little bit complicated. I like the clean and simple art and the animations also great.
Hi, wanted to test and rate, but it doesn't appear to be working for me. I get the play button, but when I click it all I get is blank screen. Tested in Chrome/Firefox/Edge browsers. Hope you get the browser version working in future! I love the art style and would love to play it.
I upload the wrong file for the browser version, I'll update it after the jam.
Cool concept! I liked the art style , music and the revive mechanic.
Like others have pointed there were some bugs - like the wizard falling off the drone when colliding with objects and going through the map when you try to pick him up while the drone is below his head level. Though these are bound to happen over such a short timeframe. There is also a point in the level where you cant reach the drone to revive it after it goes down so you're forced to restart.
Overall its a fun game and would appreciate if you checked mine too :)
Thanks, I'll try yours too.
I really liked the concept of the game but the drone was immensely overpowered. I beat the game with just the drone. I don't think he should be able to trigger the next levels or go under the map. I understand why the bugs of sort exist though, as this is a game jam. Overall, a really neat concept that could be made really nice with some more polish and touch-ups to the code.
lol, I didn't know the drone could do that.
I liked the stylized graphics and art for the game. The swapping mechanic felt solid and everything seemed to be fun. The only issue I encountered was that I had a lot of issues trying to get the mage to let go of the drone.
I like the idea. I think it would have been nice to hold down a button to have your companion come to you pick you up and transfer control to the companion to make it a little quicker o use them together. Cool idea though and presented very nicely

Sounds good! I played your game. The game mechanic is a little hard.
Thanks for trying my game :)
I really like the how the game looks! It's quite neat, the jumping feels very short though. Well done! Also the music is really nice.
Thanks, I will try your game again later :D
Great animations/sprites. Also like the music.
There are some bugs at the moment like in level two, the level doesn't restart when the human falls one time I play, I think a restart button would be a good choice.
Thanks for playing, I will look into that.
Really liked the graphics and style, great work :)
Thanks :)
This was a really great experience! Loved the gameplay and visuals! The web version worked for me, though idk how.
oh... really, well maybe the web ver. might work for some. glad you like it.
np! pretty underrated as well :D
As others have mentioned, the web version does not work
The art is very clean
The music is really nice. Gives it a sort of fantasy-like vibe
The tutorial videos are quite blurry but it serves its job pretty well: https://imgur.com/a/UoprS6k
I’m not sure how but at some point the player got stuck in the ground and the game crashed: https://imgur.com/a/OLjNSYa
It took me a while to realise that when the drone pushes the usb-like thing into the doors that it opens them. I was really confused by that
The animations are all very smooth. However, when the player returns from the walking position to the idle it’s quite sudden. I think there should be an in-between animation for that
I managed to fall through the world at one point. I would link a screenshot but imgur is being annoying right now
Thanks for the detailed feedback :D
Rated, good job man!
Thank you :)
