It is very hard to concentrate on the gameplay, as the mechanics are not really readable. this is a 16-bit game, btw

Good stuff. I don't know if I've ever played a game where you had to dodge catcalls. I'm glad you made such a game!

Also-- very nice music!

I love the visuals and the mechanics, but that first level is really difficult. Would've loved to see more of a "learn the mechanics" bit before being thrown into the deep end. But aesthetically, I'm loving the art, and this definitely has a lot of promise!

My biggest regret with this game is choosing the levels I chose. Rachel had designed teaching levels, but I chose her other level because  thought it looked the most fun. I should have chosen the teaching levels.

 And then I left my test level in as the first level, because I don't know. Vanity I guess. I should have cut it entirely.  It was only ever meant to help me check if the game was working.

My level is the first level. 

Rachel's is the second. 

Beth's is the third.

awesome game! Love the mechanic and the sprites of one rabbit lifting the other are so cute! Would love to see more levels~

Thanks!  We're hoping to get together and flesh things out. Between the two level designers we have, we may wind up making something fantastic! We would love it if you stay tuned ❤️

The visuals are very cute!

So I really like the concept, but I can't master it, but maybe that's also due to my level of English... I like the graphics and the music, as well as the beautiful artworks!

cute characters, game was a little confusing to play for me

Cute game with a nice use of theme, but it was too hard for my dumb brain. I had to cheese the first level by using a glitch that lets you turn the bunnies into floating platforms, and I had to cheese the second level by pushing those 2 rocks onto Bean's head so Bean could use them as platforms. I'd love to see the intended solutions for those levels.

Developer(+1)

Honestly,  I appreciate that you found a clever solution. Cheese is delicious.

In the first level, the easiest way is to NOT push the block off the cliff. Just jump down, hit the switch, then go back around. Now the way is open and you can jump off that block to reach the exit.

In the second level, the bunnies take turns going forward and hitting a switch  that allows the other bunny to progress. Eventually they can both access the middle path to the exit.

In the third level you have one bunny on the top route, and another on the bottom. The top bunny pushes blocks down to the bottom level, and then goes to the exit. Then the bottom bunny can reach the exit.

 Make sure to pick up your bunny buddy (B while running into them) and then enter the exit space to beat the level.
