A very nice pixel art and a mechanic that becomes addictive!

Developer

thanks, that's a very nice thing to know :) we'll do our best to maintain the addictiveness of it. not sure if it's a real word though haha

amazing art style, reallly love the characters, level design color palette you pick for it, it all works together quite nicely.

Great job

Developer

thank you, glad you like the art :)

Submitted(+1)

Really loved your art and animations. Puzzles were great. I got hung up with the lift/throw mechanic but that just takes some tutorial tweaking. Great work!

Developer

thank you! yeah, we intend to make a completely different tutorial in the future, when there's actually enough time to think it through ':D

The visuals are very impressive for a 48 hour jam, and the learning curve is perfect. Great game!

Developer

coming from you, that's especially valuable :) thanks!

5/5 on all 3 categories. Easily the best game I've played in the entire jam so far.

The characters are incredibly cute and well made. I love all the little details about them. The music fits the mood of the game perfectly. The SFX fit well with the characters and adds to the cuteness of the game. The art style of the entire game is matching.

I love the way you made keys into bugs. That's really neat.

The in-game tutorial is really good. Serve bite-sized information when it becomes relevant. I'll be adding this to my future jams from now on!

Apart from the production value, I felt like you came up with really interesting puzzles too. In Particular the puzzle where the green character had to get the key with the platforms. Even though it can't move on its own, it was able to help its bro!

I think there's two things I would point out:

  1. It was not obvious how the throw mechanic works. I almost gave up before realising that you just have to use momentum to throw. I think that could be communicated with the in-game tutorial.
  2. The key bindings are a bit weird, enter is really far away from A/D and space. I think maybe E or Q or both even would've been decent throw keys!

I can't stop smiling about this game. Congrats on making an awesome game. I really hope you turn this into a full game!

Developer(+1)

wow, thank you very much for such kind words! I'm genuinely touched, and I'm sure my partner in crime will feel the same. <3

both points noted and appreciated. totally agree with the first one. unfortunately, we ran out of time to think the tutorial through. the next step for us will be making it clearer without any text at all.

ideally, the controls are a subject of a player's preference but we didn't have any script for controls binding to borrow for this project (frankly, almost no pre-made script to quicken the process). it doesn't seem very suitable for a game jam prototype but I think maybe it'd be beneficial to have at least a couple of options next time?

we are absolutely going to continue developing the game as we both are very happy with it despite its flaws.

once again, thanks a lot for this. hopefully, we are to share some experience with each other, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you're going to come up with next :)

Submitted(+1)

Wow, it was pretty fun. 1 thing I realized we share and which is not the upside was that to set the throw direction, you have to run at the same time. It annoys a bit. But yeah, the game is very well done. Gongrats on that!

Developer

thanks for checking our game out!

not gonna lie, I considered that too yet I'm not entirely convinced it's a downside. maybe polishing is the answer here. still, totally agree, some work needs to be done about that

Hahaha this was wild!

Really cute aesthetic and really neat mechanic, solid game!

Cute characters. Good stuff

Developer

thanks!

Very cool aesthetic, much like nitrome, pretty cute! Good level design, I just wished the throw mechanic would be a little easier to master. But despite that I had a great time!!

Developer(+2)

thanks a lot, glad you liked it! and I want you to know that I take the nitrome comparison as a pretty damn high compliment :) 

Submitted(+1)

A well deserved compliment that is!!

Very cool game! Liked the art style!

Developer

Thank you, glad you liked it!

This game has such cool art! It's a cool concept too, just needs some polish. Good job!

Developer

Thanks! Totally agree, and we are going to polish it after the jam is over :)

It looks good. Although the jumping heights of the big yellow brainy seems unbalanced, when some levels it feels like cheating with those jumping and a level where you must be pretty careful to light press the button so that it doesn't meet the spike.

Developer

thanks for the feedback! yellow guy is floaty, yeah, I'm not gonna say it's the final rendition of the jump physics though ;)

This game is pretty underrated! Such an ingeniuous twist and marvelous level design! I think that there are 2 reasons why people didnt play the game as much.

1. Better indication of what to do(People may have thought only one person needed to go to the end)

2.Most people dont have 7zip (reccomend just zipping it) i do but a lot of people wont download 7zip just to play the game.

3. The tutorial text can easily be missed if someone goes through its hitboxes too fast.

Just some constructive critiscm!

Developer(+1)

thanks a lot for playing, and the feedback is welcome and greatly appreciated! :) I didn't even think that 7zip could be an issue but I suppose you're right... this was a first game jam for both of us so we messed up our presentation a little. for instance, we forgot how to make the game playable in browser and discovered that it required merely a couple of clicks right after the deadline lol. same goes for the tutorial. we will continue to develop this game and we're already thinking about how to introduce a player to the mechanics seamlessly, with no text at all.

TLDR, we both were panicking for the last two hours so yeah, it is unfortunate but it is what it is. time constraint is punishing in that way. but once again, we appreciate your kind words and the feedback! and you can bet we are not gonna use 7zip next time ':D

This game is great! The artwork gives me 90's Nickelodeon vibes, it is so nostalgic.

Developer

thanks for playing! I enjoyed your entry a lot, too. one of the best, actually :)

you're spot on. I was not necessarily a conscious decision but I guess I'm destined to follow 90's Nickelodeon logic when it comes to the visuals

Nice game, the presentation is nice, and the levels are great! Good job!

Developer

thank you very much! :)

Really cool! The art style reminded me of Kirby.

Developer

thanks for playing! (Kirby wasn't a point of reference for us but I'm glad you find some similarities with the classics)
