WOW! Well done, bro! Great game with interesting mechanics! Loved it all! <3

Developer

Glad you liked the game SOL! Videos on the creation story coming soon :D

Submitted

Really nice game.
I love Pico 8 entries :D

That difficulty curve is nice in my opinion. It gets hard at the end ^^' specially on the levels where you can't stick one guy at a same place.

Developer

We had a ton of fun learning PICO-8 for the jam! Glad you enjoyed the levels we made!

Submitted

Really like how it looks! But man, was the game hard for me. Good job!

Developer

Thanks! I wanted to stick with a retro look for the nostalgia! :D

Submitted

Great use of pico-8 graphics and sound! Innovative and fun gameplay! Well done!

Developer

Thanks Dragon! Glad you enjoyed our entry :)

A nice challenge though it would have been nice if our characters maybe didn't move on a grid while every thing else didn't. Made some parts really difficult to time well. Love the aesthetic and maybe I'll come back to collect everything sometime!

Developer

Woohooo! Yeah, 100% completion is pretty difficult, but definitely possible!!!

Developer (1 edit)

Yeah, the movement can definitely be awkward at times, but I'm glad you still liked it! Good luck if you end up trying to go for all the hearts...

Its fun but it was hard at fitst to understand how the game mechanic worked.

Developer

Haha yeah, for sure! Hopefully you figured it out eventually though! :]

Submitted

the graphics are really cool but the game is a bit slow because of the displacement

Developer

Yes, I definitely feel you on this one. We tried our best to balance the game to be fast enough to enjoy, but slow enough to react to the approaching hazards :]

Submitted

Rate my game if you have time : https://abel-graux.itch.io/hacker-man

HACKER MAN is a turn-based fighting game.

really fun!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Really liked it! Simple concept and fun challenges!

Developer(+1)

Glad you thought so! :D

Submitted

Neat take on the theme and nice simple visuals with cool level ideas, some more sounds and maybe music would have been nice but it was still fun to play

Developer(+1)

Would have loved to add more sound effects and some music, however we ran out of time :[

Submitted

this is pretty good, maybe add some music and make the controls a little more accurate tho

Developer

The controls were tough to get right, but we did the best we could with what we had hahaha :P

Submitted

yeah game jams are hard

Submitted

This is one of my favorite games so far from the jam! It is super innovative and very fun to play!

Developer

Sooo glad you think so! <3 :)

Submitted

really well executed take on the theme! visuals are great, game is polished, gameplay is fun. controls were a little confusing at the start, but they felt more natural as the game went on

Developer

Yayyy! Thanks paperstack! This is amazing to hear <3

Submitted

Nice.

Developer

Thank you :)

Submitted

Really fun game, the art is very nice, it fits the theme very well. Everything is great all around. The controls are simple, but the game is complex. Really nice use of only 1 mechanic, the movement. Great game! :)

Developer

Thanks for the lovely feedback!! Glad you enjoyed :)

Submitted

I love the concept, I find it quite hard to play, but it's non less fun. Maybe write somewhere the controls, but that's all :)

Developer

Thanks Istalri! Glad you enjoyed :D

Submitted

Quite a nice little game! The graphics are really cute. One feedback would be: The controls are quite hard to grasp at first. Maybe show a small popup for how to switch players once its needed. Also the level where all walls are red is really hard. ^^' (I played it in single player)
