Fun but very challenging puzzler. Made me use my brain in ways I didn't think of.
Haha, I'll take that as a good thing! Happy you liked it, thanks for playing!
i love the art and the gameplay, good work
Thank you very much! Happy you liked it!
This was fun, you made me stop and think for a second when I first saw the large block. It also looks great, very juicy. Nice job
Haha that's great! Thank you for playing, I'm happy you liked it!
This was incredibly polished for your first jam game, great job! I really like the concept, I'd like to see what other types of puzzles you can make with this setup.
Thanks a lot, and thanks for playing! Really happy you liked it!
well done on the looks! the puzzle design is also pretty well done and the mechanics are a bit confusing but once you get them, its pretty intuitive! i just think that the music doesnt really go well with the overall aesthetic of the game. all things considered, a great entry!
Thank you very much! I'm happy you liked it :)
The music would need more polish for sure. For the beginning of the game it's just a bit boring, but later when the puzzles get harder I thought it was more appropriate to have a more relaxing type of music. Maybe I can make the music change along with the difficulty.
Thanks for the input!
Fun game with amazing visuals. It's a little confusing sometimes and I feel like I just spam space and end up winning. The game is GREAT!
Thank you for playing!
Yes, the learning curve is steep and doesn't really help guide you through the mechanics. It requires some effort. If I keep working on the game I will smooth it out. Thanks for the feedback, really appreciated!
Nice brain teaser!
Thank you! And thank you for playing!
The game has simple graphics but very cute ones. The idea and its mechanic is well executed and its very fun. The music also worked very good with the game and the sounds were also a green flag. The game is also smooth and polished. Good job!
Thanks for playing and the kind feedback!
Albeit simple in concept, this was a very fun playthrough indeed!
I quite adore the design choices, visually the game looks very pleasing, with bright colors and polished graphics, the art-style is very cute too, the clean looks really adds to the experience, and renders the game enjoyable even in usually monotone situations,
I really liked the game concept, it was very creative and well executed, the controls work well and the motions solid, I really enjoyed the puzzles ad had no problems in my play session ( maybe I am good at this xD ) so we can positively say the gameplay loop is very satisfying, and did not stale at all on my session, thus we can conclude this formula has a lot of potential, and obviously the game has a sense of polish and feedback that makes it feel great to play,
overall this is a very solid entry indeed, we can conclude that this is fun!
I see a lot of potential to expand this concept, and I would totally play this in a more streamlined, expanded package, 9/10 great work especially for such a shot time-frame, truly excellent!
Oh wow, thank you so much for taking the time to play and write down such a lengthy review, I truly appreciate it! I'm very happy to hear you liked the game so much! I still have a couple ideas for extra game mechanics, so maybe I will decide to expand the game after all :)
I love the puzzle mechanism, the game art, UI design, and sound effects. All are very polished. Very well done.
Thank you so much for playing and for the kind words!
Really cool level design ! Also just a great concept for a puzzle game, at first I thought it might be quite limited but the levels clearly showed otherwise. Great presentation aswell looks very soft and chewy
Thanks a lot! Really happy to hear you liked it!
I love this game ! The level design is well thought. And incorporated the theme directly into the game is cool too.
Their are a just a little bug, when I didn’t reach the end of the level with the two characters at the same time, I can’t finish it.
Thank you so much for playing! I'm happy you like it.
This is actually not a bug, but a design failure on my part, sorry! I didn't make it clear enough that both the blue character and the orange character need to go through the gate. From the screenshot I can tell that the blue character already activated the gate on the bottom, hence the orange character needs to activate the other one. This is a tricky situation though, but you can still get out of it :) So I should have made the colors more clear, and I should have prevented this situation from happening this early in the game.
Thanks a lot for the feedback, really appreciated!
Awesome lil puzzle game! Always love the mechanics that involve two characters that do one thing each, and it was very well executed here!
Thank you so much!
Enjoyed a lot the gameplay and the interpretation of the theme. In some levels you really had to think carefully. Well done.
Thank you very much, happy you liked it!
That's crazy awesome game! I like the art and the sound, puzzles are wonderful and hard sometimes! Well done :)
Thank you for playing! I'm happy you liked it so much!
Great little puzzle game, really enjoyed the last level where you had to understand that flipping when the players were on different conveyors lets them skip past stuff, nice work
Thank you so much! I'm happy you like it, and that you figured out one of the main ways to get your characters where you want them to be! :)
This is a fantastic game, it looks great, and I would have never guessed it was your first. Very well done! This is a perfect puzzle game, I had so many 'Aha!' moments
Thanks a lot for playing, I'm really happy you like it! It was my first game jam yes, what a great experience :)
Really glad to hear about those aha moments as well, that's what I was aiming for!
Really cool puzzle game !
It took me a couple levels to understand what swapping character did exactly (as in flip the platform you're on + flip the other character no matter the platform) and even after reaching the end I'm still quite unsure how to properly think about the consequences of a swap to find the solution haha.
Though there still were several levels I completed by using brain power instead of swapping about until it works out :)
I tried cheesing it by reaching both gates with the same character but you properly blocked it.
Great visuals, and the tutorial was good too !
Thanks a lot for playing and taking the time to write the feedback!
It has a pretty steep learning curve, my apologies. I tried to show the flexibility of the mechanic in an as short way possible, given the time limit.
Happy that you still enjoyed it though!
Enjoyed it I did !
I think for jam puzzle games a steep curve is better than a shy curve that doesn't get hard enough by the time the game ends.
It's perfectly understandable that it wouldn't have the amount of playtesting and polish a normal puzzle game would, so don't worry about that.
Plus it shows what the mechanics can lead to.
You definitly nailed the looks. Good job on making this game !
Thank you for playing! I hope you had fun :)
very cool and good looking. nice job
Thank you for playing! Really happy you liked it!
