Really cool! I had a lot fun going through the whole game.

I truly enjoyed the different mechanics, the level design and the three different characters swapping concept. The music and sound effects create a very enjoyable atmosphere.

Just a minor thing that I wanted to mention, it wasn’t very clear to me how the characters unlock each other to continue their path, maybe a small animation would help.

Well done!

Amazing work on the graphics, music and level design!

I encountered a few bugs, like the character getting stuck while I was dragging the blocks, but nothing game breaking

That was a really big (and long, cause I died a lot) game. I'm surprised you managed to do all this in a month. I was honestly expecting something else. I don't know what, butcertainly not the megaman 2 blocks from hell again.
Graphics are mostly consistent. The artstyle's simple, but the lighting and effects make it shine. There are some issues with visibility and readability, though, but nothing serious. Though, I wasn't sure what floors killed you at first. I don't even know if they're electrified or just spikes or something else entirely.
Collisions are a bit wonky. A smaller hurtbox than the characters (separating collision box from hurt box) would punish the player a little less. The grappling hook click sometimes didn't register for me, but that may be me.
I really liked the music. The sound effects are weird.
Overall I liked it. It was harder than what I was expecting, but that's on me.

Thanks for playing!

Will definitely try and make the deadly areas more obvious in the future, and fix the hitboxes so they aren't so mean :D

Really solid entry! It's really impressive how built out the environments were, especially since they're different for each of the three characters. It's cool that they all have their own tools and personalities, although it would have been nice to have more interesting interaction between them (other than just "I need X to progress").

Some of the hazards could use better telegraphing --- especially the lasers and the white platforms that change colors gradually. I liked a lot of the tight timing on the puzzles, but it would be nice to have extra visual indicators.

Great work for a jam!

Thanks for playing, and for the feedback :)

Will try to add more indicators in future games - especially for the timing puzzles!

More interaction between characters would be cool, we could use it to build more personality to each character :D

Nice graphics, SFX and music, it goes well all together!

I loved the idea of having three differents character to play that help each others! Nice concept!

I just had troubles to make the difference between what I could jump on, what was just decor, and what could hurt me. Maybe you have to work on it to make it clearer for the player.

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback! Will definitely try and make the platforms and things that can injure the player more obvious next time!

I really loved to play your game. Usually I’m not into platformers at all and give up very fast. But your game made me keep trying. The checkpoints every time you touch solid ground saved me.

Great art for the characters too! Thanks for some entertaining time.

Developer

Thank you for taking the time to play and I'm glad you had fun!

Submitted

I got the diamond!Pixelart is really nice, especially all the glow effects. I also like how each character had unique abilities. The challenges were fun, except a few I found quite frustrating. Great game overall!

Developer

Thanks for playing it all the way through! And thanks for the feedback too :)

Nice to play even if not always spot on on controls, a fun game. Just the right length to not be boring, I would have loved more feedback on what each character did: I'm fine when one says "this should have done something for the others", but I was hesitant when, swapping to the recipient of the last action, I found the same "maybe someone can do something for me here".
I point this out only because I think it should be an easy fix that would benefit this already good game, I enjoyed bringing it to the end

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback! :)

Pretty fun- controls were a little finicky, but I loved the character swap mechanic and how it all fitted together :)

Developer

Thanks for playing! :)

i did get stuck a couple times, but the game is great work.  also like that the music stays on beat when changing each character.

Developer

Thanks and thanks for playing!

Awesome gameplay, enjoyed the unique puzzles and mechanics tied to each character and how they interact with one another. There were some frustrating parts such as the lasers in the tower and I wished there was more tell for the dangerous areas of the game, such as electricity or laser floor or something that told me that this was dangerous to walk on, but the checkpoints alleviated most of the annoyance.
Great work, team!

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

Will definitely try to make it more obvious where the dangerous areas are next time!

Submitted

It's obvious a lot of work went into making this. Playing as the three separate characters, each with different themes to solving their platforming puzzles, felt really good. I'll admit I did get frustrated a few times, but that's more my own fault than the game's. I kept bumping my head when trying to make jumps x_x. I think the most fun character to play was the pink haired lady. The jumps felt so fluid and satisfying.  Also, the pixel art is gorgeous. Fantastic job all around!

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback! :)

Loved the whole vibe of this game. Good work!

Developer

Thanks!

Very cool.  I love the pixel art, the style and the multi-character concept.  Well done.

You might like to try our platformer - Lumi and the Dark Night.

Developer

Thanks! I'll check it out! :)

Ok. Well done overall. The audio is great, The graphics are great. The idea is great. Though, the gameplay feels stiff and the obstacles are blended in with the background. You can differentiate unless you really focus. Anything else well done. Rated 5/5 overall :)

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

The graphics were amazing! The animations and everything looked really cool! The lighting effects were a nice touch. In the interior, it was sometimes hard to see the platforms. The music was really good. I liked the notion of having multiple players affecting each other. It would be really if this had a multiplayer mode (splitscreen) where multiple people could play at the same time.

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback! Multiplayer would be super cool to add!

Submitted

This is really great. I really liked your take on the theme, your overall aesthetic and the whole concept of swapping back and forth between characters who were all working together but separate.

My biggest gripes would probably be that:

  • Some of the platforms and traps were really difficult to see until it was too late.
  • The controls felt a little finicky... was hard to move and jump and click and I kept falling or getting stuck in a way that was frustrating in a few spots.

Overall though I thought this was really sharp. Great job!

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback! :)

Cute game, really nice graphics and sound. Maybe controls are too precise and seems that there are a lot of gravity but overall is a nice game!

Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

Nice gameplay, very cute and entertaining!

Developer

Thanks!

Good art work and very well placed checkpoints, the ability to switch in between characters and helping each other is good. Great level design and nice audio.  And those disappearing boxes/platforms were very challenging .

Developer

Thanks and thanks for playing!
