Super cute. Loved the idea and execution of the mechanic. Great work!
This was quite fun to traverse through. I really enjoy having such limited actions with the two characters because it made it feel they truly needed each other; versus mirroring or copying each other. I do think the difficult curve could maybe increase just a tad faster, but otherwise enjoyed playing it!
This was a pleasant little puzzle game that didn't overstay its welcome with way more levels than was needed. The puzzles were all really interesting due to the limitations of the character movement, and the art style is really light and happy :)
Your levels are also nice and short, which is very nice when having to restart a few times lol
It would be cool to see what else you could've done with that side spring, but I think it's good that you left me kinda wanting more, ya know? You made a cool puzzler and that's pretty nifty!
This was a really nice game! I think you introduced all of the mechanics super well and maybe could have even fit some more challenging levels in between each of the new mechanics, to really test the player's problem-solving abilities! I think this would have really made the pace much more interesting. The game overall was super charming though, great work!
I was really glad to see you joined the jam and your entry was fantastic. This was the type of game I was hoping to see in the submissions. The platform puzzle game genre is always fun to me and the cute and cohesive art style really flowed with the game play. The puzzles weren't too simple or too hard which striking a balance is impressive. The only real complaint I had was the game was too short. Which is a good complaint to have since it shows I wanted to play more of it! The music in the game was beautifully done as well.
For the first impressions look at this game, they can be found here:
Really cute game! I loved the art style and the music, perfect game for a gamejam!
What a clever idea, really enjoyed the mechanic and puzzles you put in this game. I only came across one issue, if the red character lands right on the end of the moving platform, it cant jump and I had to restart that particular level. I also really enjoyed the art and music, great work!
I did it!
Really excellent game all around. The sounds were great, the music was great, the art was adorable, the puzzles were fun, really everything about this game created a super pleasant aesthetic, and it was just a super enjoyable experience.
Great work!
This one is great. We had a similar idea, with multiple controllable characters, one of whom can't jump, and needs the help of the one that can to get places. The puzzles and levels are all fun, I just wish there were more, I'd love to see more of this gameplay. I really liked the music(and minor point, unlike a lot of games I've seen this jam, it doesn't default to being insanely loud, which is a plus) and the art is on point. I especially like the little cigar that the papa slime has. All in all a really good entry.
I love the concept. Good job at designing the mechanics and puzzles. I also love the artstyle so much. My favourite game this far ^^
I really liked it! Not only the art is cute, but eventhough the idea behing the game is quite simple, it is very interesting! Also, the puzzles get more difficult in a really enjoyable rate. Great work!
I loved the art and the puzzles were all reasonably interesting to get through. I was looking for someone who implemented a split control scheme like this, and you did it very well! The music was a nice touch, and the character designs were really cool. Awesome job!
Very short but very sweet and cute!
Everything feels well thought through, and it's a solid base for a great puzzle game with lots of levels and mechanics. Great work
edit: for those that can't make it work - rename "Family Gathering" folder to "Family Gathering_Data" and it should do the trick
