How does your game fit the theme?
The four friends have to work together if they want to escape detention. With the newcomer to the group, Slingshot, it’s even more important now that the group is amicable and cohesive to escape their predicament, and over the course of the game, he’s welcomed to the gang as the others warm up to him. All four have abilities vital for escaping their predicament—thus, befriending each other is crucial! We hope to tell a story that communicates the importance of working together as a team.
Did you use any assets?
Yes, character sprites by Parabellum Games. Everything else is original.

Your game split the 3rd place in my personal rating with What Friends Are For and Goose-A-Gotchi, 27 each, congrats!
Thanks a lot!
cool mechanics.
I really like the concept of combining everyone's skills to avoid getting stuck in the study room! A great use of the theme! Thanks also for the screen for the GB DMG, although I think the game could skip over it no?
Liked this, really cool. With a few more levels it could be great :)
Thanks, we have many more already designed but we could not get them in this round. We hope to get an extended version out.
clever little game! the ending made me laugh. the swapping was scary when i had to make it to a character that wasnt next in the rotation. each sprite was different enough that i knew who i was landing on. nicely done!
Needing to use a bunch of mechanics to solve these puzzles is a lot of fun! Honestly I think I would play a game that expanded on this into a few more levels. The only things negatively is it doesn't have too much music variety and the graphics are relatively simple. But I think that's fine!
Nice mechanics and theme use. I've enjoyed playing it!
Thanks!
the puzzle and story is also fun. the graphic feels like pokemon style so godd enough. Overall I like this game. good job
Thanks! Graphics are definitely programmer art. Inspired by Pokémon
I love the switching mechanic! Makes for fun puzzles
