How does your game fit the theme?
"Platformee" reverses the roles that you would typically expect in a traditional platformer. Rather than navigate the level and guide the player to the goal the user must now place obstacles in the level to prevent the players from finishing the level. The platformer has become the platformee.

fun role reversal !

Good puzzle platformer! Only a couple of suggestions - a fast-forward button could have worked well, and I would have liked to be able to reposition objects without needing to reset the level. Other than that, this is a good foundation!

Nice game! Fun concept and well polished! Good job! First level works great as a tutorial!

Great game! One of the best in the jam so far!

This is my favorite game of the jam that I've played so far, I really like the idea and the puzzles got pretty challenging towards the end. I could definitely see more mechanics and levels if you decide to expand on this, good work!

Thanks for playing and thanks for the great feedback!

I probably played this game longer than any other I've found in the jam. If I had to make a suggestion I'd say a fast forward button to test your solution faster. :D

A lot of people are suggesting a speed up button, I think that would be a great addition. Thanks for playing my game!

Great little game with some nice puzzles, I just wish it had a speed up button, there was one level I had to replay many times because of badly placed springs

Speed up button is a great suggestion, thanks for playing!

Funny how the roles are completely reversed, nice use of the theme, you not only are obstacles, but also winning means not reaching the goal. But I got stuck at level 7, its too hard, and the speed of the gameplay after I press start begins to feel too slow. Nice submission tho!

Speed up function seems to be a popular suggestion and I think that would be a great addition. There is a walkthrough if you wanted to take a look at the final few levels. Thanks for checking out my game!

My concept was the opossite where you have to help the AI reach it so I had to try your game!

I like it!

For me they just could move a little faster. And in level 7 I think with the many jumps you can let a figure jump on a spring and place a second one in the sky to launch him further and let him walk on the grey part where your Items are^^

Ya, you can combo the bounce pads and launch the little guys really high lmao, a speed up function to make them move faster would be a great addition. Thanks for checking out my game!
