This was a great game. I loved it though it was quite challenging. I loved how I had to repeatedly play each level as a part of the next level. This makes it easier to figure out the solution to the puzzle. Nice work.
thanks for the feedback
Ok, This was great. Multi control has been done a lot, but with the multi levels and more and more units to control it was very nice. It also added some cool "emergence" where the same level changed solution due to the added levels. Game was rather hard, but fair. I tried way too many times, because the solutions were clear (once figured out) but then sometimes my motor skills couldn't quite pull it off. Also props on the whole level design. Game "just works", but just seeing it from a gamedev point of view, the fact that it works must have been quite some work. Simple art that works well, music that give a decent mood, great entry!
Hey thanks for the great feedback I have some ideas to make it a little easier on the later levels
The game was super fun and challenging! Every level got progressively harder but I finally did it
The controls were working great, as expected from a platformer game like this. The presentation could be improved, maybe by improving the color pallete
Overall an awesome entry to the jam! Great job!
The way you added a new part to the level every time was a really unexpected twist, it's great how it makes you master the single levels by playing them repeatedly, while keeping them fresh with a new "twist" every time.
Great entry!
Initially, I assumed this was going to be like the multitudes of similar games that revolved around moving two objects at once, but when I moved to the next level and found the previous one still attached, I quickly realized that was not the case. Amazing job at the puzzle design here, I spent a good chunk of time on that final puzzle, mastering every single move to make sure I got it perfect to get that win. The way puzzles seamlessly returned and still were easy to solve, how could could do one after another or do both, and sometimes had to do both at once, it was incredible. The visuals were great too, it was such a relief seeing those boxes change color which is testament to the game design and the graphics. Great job.
thanks for the amazing feedback
Very fun game! i love that you included the previous level into the next level! the aspect ratio was off on the web build so i couldn't see the bottom or right of the screen most of the time which was difficult but i still really enjoyed it!
was it on a laptop
yes a mac book pro 13" 2016
I think you did a great job! It becomes really challenging around level 4 and 5!
Interesting idea, and it is impressive that you were able to plan out all of the levels in such a short amount of time. Nice work!
Really cool idea I love how it ramps up in difficulty to the point where you have to consider so many different levels. Overall a great idea that was executed well.
Interesting that it always just adds one level every time, got pretty hard at the end but that's alright. Pretty fun!
Good game, pretty hard though! Great concept!
Great concept! Adding new levels to the old ones and having to figure out the order in which to complete them is a great idea! Art and music was also good!
Very well made game. Great art and music. Unique interpretation of the theme. The only thing I don't like is the fact that you have to restart the whole level when you die in one part. Its not bad in the early levels but when there are many parts it can get annoying. Maybe add checkpoints in the later levels?
Thanks for playing my game, i will take the feedback into consideration but adding checkpoints will defeat the purpose of the game i feel like
Incredible game. The idea to add levels but maintain the existing ones was brilliant. The music was nice, gameplay was smooth, and all in all the game was really enjoyable.
I very much enjoyed playing this. My only problem is the screen was too big for my laptop screen which meant I couldn't see anythig around the edges. It might just be my laptop screen size causing issues but might be something worth considering in the future. What I managed to get through I very much enjoyed and really liked the growing escalation in the game. Great job!
I think it's the default display settings on most laptops that causes the sides to get cut
First of all, nice touch on the menu buttons acting as a platform. Gameplay-wise, damn how I was fooled! Thought this would be an easy platformer game. I admire the complexity of the puzzle, I can tell how hard it was to create the puzzle in order for them to work perfectly and 'simultaneously' (lol). Love the music and the game mechanic, however, the graphic and UI could receive some improvements. Above all, excellent job! ^^
thanks for the feedback, really should not push UI for last minute
super cool, I like how the levels are made to force you to swap your focus between multiple characters. I'm not a huge fan of how the same levels just keep having more added to them because it makes the game really difficult really fast, maybe I just suck at platforming though and it does make you rethink the same paths
Its a very good game. LOVE THE GAMEPLAY. Very cool !
love this game :)
Great mechanics and good level structure, like how the number of rooms and complexity increases over time and forces you to reconsider your path.
Great concept, great execution. I really enjoyed this game. Minor nitpick - the jump sound is a little irritating and loud. Don't really have much else to say, hope to see more from you in future!
