Love the idea a lot! I love how instead of trying to make the other person lose, you're trying to make them win by you getting squashed. I wish there was a bit more to it other than just following the player, but for two days, this is a neat concept!
Really fun take on this year's theme! Surprisingly intuitive to swap between Goombas, and I like how it's both a platformer and a puzzler. So much potential here! (Like what if the player could control Koopas as well and needed to line it up so that the shell would squash a row of Goombas?)
Hehe, yes! I actually had exactly that in mind as well: Koopas that you have to line up to take out a bunch of Goombas, and you have to plan it so that Jumping Man steps on the Koopa at the right moment. It was the natural next thing to make, just not enough time for that mechanic. :)
I also was planning pipes that you could use to warp your creatures into position, including some that would be in otherwise unreachable locations.
And I was planning hazards that could kill Jumping Man as well (just like a regular Mario level) and you would have to help manipulate his movement so that he avoids them. 🙃
Really charming game! Controlling and switching between the Goombas works really well. Maybe the art looks a bit simple compared to other submissions. But i quite like it. Especially the faces of the Goombas and Jumping Man.
All combined makes for a really enjoyable experience
Thanks a lot! I'm glad it was enjoyable. 😁
Yep, this is very much programer art. 😅
Oh programmer art for sure! But still very charming art. I have also drawn dozens of simple guy's with a red shirt and blue pants as quick programmer art. So maybe that's why i enjoy it so much.
