Greetings fellow "Buds" game! Really great game you have here! Honestly I think this is the most fun out of all the games I've played in the entire jam.    A little confusing to control both at the same time (especially when they switch sides).  But other than that, I can't think of anything else to say about it. Great work on this!

Hey thanks, SzechuanSteve. I appreciate the compliments and the feedback. It's always fun to find and compare games with similar names during GameJams like these.

game wasn't working for me (just a black window)

Developer

Hey epicfarmer, sorry to hear that. I definitely don't want anyone missing out.

Could you by any chance let me know what kinds of devices, operating systems or browsers you tried using to play the game?

I like the game, especially with a controller (I played alone).

Really enjoyed playing this game! It had a fun arcade style and I like how it encourages trying to move both characters by introducing a timer! Good job.

Muy entretenido, muy pulido para tener solo 48hs, un juego que podes pasar bastante tiempo jugandolo, muy bien echo en todos sus aspectos, me gusto mucho el entorno y la musica, felicitaciones.

Great Visuals, I'm impressed!

The game looks really polished with all the particle effects and trails.

Not a fan of time limits tho but thats just me ;)

Were the levels randomly generated or crafted by hand? because I was't able to tell. Some of them were kind of like on first time but not sure. 

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked the visuals Radium Polonium!
The levels are indeed random or "procedurally" generated, if you will.

Great stuff! I have no idea how you were able to polish your game this much over only 48 hours, it's definitely better than 88% of mobile games on the app store. That being said, I think the game generated a legitimately impossible stage at some point. Either that or I'm just smooth brain, lol.

Developer

Thanks for the comments WasabiThumbs! Glad you liked it.
I do take pride in my polishing.
The procedural generation can be a bit iffy sometimes, though I tried as much as I could in the 48 hours to ensure that happened as little as possible.

Submitted(+1)

Oh yeah, for sure, the generation definitely does it's job. Keep up the good work

Hi! Congratulations on submitting, what I feel to be an extremely juicy and polished looking game! I like the simplicity of the puzzles and I could even play it alone! It felt really well done overall! :)

Developer

Hey thanks Jykjammers. I appreciate the compliments and observations.

Glad you were able to play it solo, which is indeed the intended way to play.
