fantastic all round package with the final level / puzzle making the systems shine. A great piece feels like it could be built out into a full game

Hello! Cute game and the polish on feedback animations makes it shine! The long jump on the way to the throne room was a juicy surprise!

Holy MatrimonyLoved the art style! Really great idea on the jam concept, amazing how much you managed to get done in just 48 hours!
Some small feedback would be on volume the first helper you pick up makes a quite loud constant spinning sound, this fits the theme well, but can be quite discomforting, I would suggest turning this down a little and having it be more subtle :D
But the animations on the movements looked and worked great, timing on the jumps felt good! I liked the ability to disconnect by going under fans that was a really well executed and cool idea!
Best of luck on the votes!

Lost In TransmissionReally well made and polished. Maybe in a full release there could be other characters that also want to help you and give you different ups and downs. Great game. Well done!

One String AttachedThis is super polished! The controls feel great, and smashing into stuff felt super satisfying.

Octo and the Pocket DimensionsVery well done! It's almost hard to believe such a polished product can be produced in 48 hours! The controls, presentation, and level design are phenomenal!

Our First GameThis game is immensely satisfying to play! The controls are weighty, the platforming feels right, and the presentation is just so dang cute! Tremendous job to everyone who worked on this game!

GameJam Doggo AdventureAlthough you used pre-existing art, the platforming controls is so well done. The movement is really well refined and it feels great just to move around the level. The design of the levels were also done really well too, although my computer played it at a bit of a weird resolution the levels were fun and not boring at all. This was a really cool concept as well, though I do admit I mistook the knight's spinning animation for something like a helicopter blade which gave me the impression that I could fly with the knight haha.
The only thing I would suggest is adding some checkpoints or a few more hitpoints, as I got a little bit frustrated when I'd get hit and have to repeat the whole section all over again.
This is a really well put together game, I wish you luck for the rest of the jam!

AminusThis is super impressive, especially for just one person! Concept is really interesting, it's cool that there are tradeoffs between having the helper and not. Music is AWESOME!

MARRIAGE HOCKEYThis game is really good! The platforming feel really smooth, and the artwork is beautiful! I love that you need to switch between carrying the knight, and leaving him behind. I can imagine a lot challenged for secret collectables with this mechanic, if you were to work on this further. Great job!

QUBI really liked this game! It's short but sweet, and the last level is super cool. The mechanic is quite unique. The knight-less jump is a bit floaty though.
