How does your game fit the theme?
The game adheres to the theme by literally joining the player to the enemies. Inspired by games like Kirby, wherein enemies can be absorbed as a powerup, we wanted to "join" the enemy and the player together to give the player extra abilities. We accomplished this by adding a grapple mechanic, which can either help your character navigate around the screen or pull an enemy to you, in order to "join" with it We have two enemies you can join with, a flying bat that gives you a wing power and a walking cannon that gives you a shooting power.

Beautiful art style, you have an awesome sense of vision for making a game and it really shows here! Your main mechanic is lots of fun, and works really well with you art style.
To give some feedback, I think it would be cool if the levels were slightly more than just combat arenas, like having blocks that require the cannon to blow up, or jump heights that require flight to access.
Overall, wonderful work and I really enjoyed it! Congrats on submitting and thanks for the game!
Like some others, I had some difficulty with the grapple. The art style is really cute!
I like everything about this game. It reminds me of Kirby. Fantastic job ! I found Bart !
Well done creatively applying the theme! I really enjoyed the hand-drawn art style, and I thought the joining mechanic worked quite well. Like others I found it a bit challenging to control the grappling hook, but overall a really impressive game, great work!
I really like the unique art style here.
Nitpick: Since you’re working with score and have different levels each time, it may be a good idea to have a current hi-score (so you can try to beat yourself) or at least display it on game over.
Haha! A lot of fun! even if controling the grapple isn't easy, well done, the game is very neat!!
Love the artstyle! The Kirby-esque mechanic is a very cool interpreation of the "joined together" theme. I really like how the grapple can be used to latch onto walls as well, and I think emergent movement options like that would make for a great basis for a full title.
the grapple mechanic was really hard to control but other than that it was pretty fun
This is so cool! The hand drawn aesthetic is great, and the Kirby style mechanic is really fun. You made a great game.
I wish the control were a little easier though. Maybe it's just me, but I think it would be nice if the grapple mechanic was controlled by a mouse click .
In any case, great job!
