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 :)

Developer

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...

Developer

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.

Cute game! I included it in my GMTK compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Developer

Thanks.

Really enjoyed the game! There are a lot of mechanics in it and the level design is good :)

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 :)

Developer

Of course, I will later.

Developer

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 :)

Developer(+1)

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

Developer

Thanks for your feedback.

Submitted

I like the concept! I got stuck here and there around the clouds, but still fun! Nice sprite designs!

Developer

Thanks.

Submitted

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!

Developer

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:

  • If you die, there is no feedback why
  • The some hitboxes are too large(especially the hitbox of these purple balls)
Developer

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.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback.

Submitted

Very cool mechanics with the rope! The artstyle fit the game well. Great game overall!

Developer

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.

Developer

Thanks. I tried to fix the weird jump, but I ran out of time.

Submitted

Cool game, just color which I found aggressive a little bit ^^

Developer (2 edits)

Thanks for telling me that.

Submitted

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!

Developer

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 :)

Developer

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?
