Really nice game, enjoyed playing it. The only issue was that sometimes when the heart fell, it stayed in the holes in the ground and couldnt jump unless I move them, so a little emotion killer. But I really liked and had fun playing. Nice music and animations, solid entry :)
Id also appreciate if you played and rated my game :)
Thanks for your feedback.
Wow, we really did make similar games didn't we? The controls were even the same, you controlled the pink/red character with the arrow keys and the green character with WASD! I liked the puzzles and I thought the artstyle was cute. The bouncing balls were a bit glitchy and it got very hard towards the end but other than that, I really liked it! I guess great minds think alike...
Thanks for the feedback.
I think cute is the best word for describing this game! The visuals are very well made, and the sound effects fit very nicely too. Great work -- I particularly liked the gray clouds because they allowed for some strategy.
Thanks for the kind words.
cute
Thanks.
Cute game! I included it in my GMTK compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)
Thanks.
Really enjoyed the game! There are a lot of mechanics in it and the level design is good :)
Thanks for the kind words.
Nice game! I liked your game mechanics and the difficulty curve. Good work!
You can also look at our game too, if you have a time :)
Of course, I will later.
I have played and rated your game, It was amazing.
man this game is hard... or I'm just bad idk.
@NatureStudioz its a good concept I think it could be refined on the art side also I felt like jump force a little bit low, but overall good job :)
Thanks.
I got stuck on the one with the shield and bungee. Good game! I'd love to see this with some more refined movement controls
Thanks for your feedback.
I like the concept! I got stuck here and there around the clouds, but still fun! Nice sprite designs!
Thanks.
Interesting idea and I quite like it, though some hitboxes are a bit weird. I think the clouds' hitboxes aren't perfect squares so you get stuck inbetween them a lot. Other than that, nice!
Thanks. I knew about that when I made the clouds. But I did not have enough time to fix them.
If i would list what is good (or perfect) i would have to make a whole book. So i will only list those things that need to be improved:
1, When you die, there is a certain sound and the hearts change emotion, the rope is also gone.
2, I made the hit box of the hearts small so that you have a small chance not to get hit.
It seems like I should have made the Hit box if the purple balls smaller.
Thanks for the feedback.
A lot of the levels and puzzles have good ideas behind them, but it's kind of let down by the jankiness of the movement. But it's hard to make a movement system that complex in 48 hours.
Thanks for the feedback.
Very cool mechanics with the rope! The artstyle fit the game well. Great game overall!
Thanks.
Only problem I had is that jump only works half the time. Seems like the game thinks you aren't on the ground sometimes. Other than that it was pretty fun and unique.
Thanks. I tried to fix the weird jump, but I ran out of time.
Cool game, just color which I found aggressive a little bit ^^
Thanks for telling me that.
Very cute! And rather complex for a jam game... I'm impressed! I love how you incorporated the rope in the gameplay. My only criticism is that sometimes it gets a little bit too hard and it's a little frustrating (especially with the pink rope power up). Other than that, I think this is a pretty solid and creative game. Well done!
Thanks for your feedback.
Cool game with a very cute art style. The block-breaker level was a really nice twist to the mechanic but the timer kept going off too quickly for me so I couldn't get past it. Great job overall :)
Thanks for the feedback.
Interesting game with a very cute style and name. If you don't mind sharing, what's the name of the song?
