Really cool game! I love how the art is nice and squishy, I also really like the music! Great work overall!

Visually pleasing!

besides the controls which were a bit too slippery for me, this is a pretty cool game. i liked the puzzles that made use of the chain physics, though some were a bit too confusing for me to try and solve. i wasn't really sure how i was supposed to go through the part with the green platforms, but somehow you're able to skip that entirely by just jumping over to the other side. even with that though, it's still an impressive game :)

I really love the art and juice! :0 The little animations and effects, one of the best presentations I have seen yet.
My only critiques would be that the characters don't controls as tight as I'd want for difficult platforming parts, as well as difficulty ramps up a little fast imo.
Solid submission overall!

Great game, It kind of reminds me of my own entry.

1, The Characters move too fast.

2, Some parts of the game are a bit confusing, but sooner or later I will figure It out.

Besides these, Great game.

I see you are using Unity, how did you make that chain effect, I have to know.

Also, I would be very happy if you would play my game.

The chain is a distance joint for physics, and a line renderer for the visuals :)

Thanks.

Game looks amazing! Did find it easy to get stuck though and not be able to progress any further

Thanks for playing! Physics based platforming definitely creates some unpredictable scenarios. Definitely need a quick restart/checkpoint system :)

The chain physics let you do some really cool platforming, great work!

Visuals are great,  probably very fun to play with someone else but I dont have anyone lol.

Really cute! I love how despite the fact you are escaping from a prison the music is so happy. Also the animations and sprite work are lovely

This is my kind of game. Loved the art style and the personality in this game. The controls take some time to get used to, and the physics can make the level a little annoying, but it's overall a fun experience.

The physics sometimes get in the way but overall, fun fun fun game! Very great art!

Great graphics and gameplay.

Wow your game looks good! The movement felt pretty good but the janky physics got in the way a few times. I managed to pull myself out of the world a few times but otherwise a solid game!

Submitted(+2)

I really liked the graphics! The movement feels solid but it isn't great for tight platforming like the part where you needed to get onto the single tile. It's also hard to jump onto the other character's head since you slide off very easily if you don't land right on the center. The game does feel quite nice to play though!

I like the concept and the graphics! The music is fine, but gets a bit tedious after awhile. The characters seem to have too high a tendency to go off ledges, or off the top of each others heads. Checkpoints would've been really nice since I ended up soft-locking myself.
