Cool idea, I like the idea of swapping between characters to use different abilities, nice art style too. Nice work!

How does your game fit the theme?
Instead of parents protecting kids, children are guarding them from horrifying nightmare monsters. As well as, instead of the oldest brother being the bravest & strongest one, the youngest one is the mighty sword of the family.

The concept is intriguing, and I had fun switching between characters with different abilities. The game has a great vibe, and the art style is fantastic. My only challenge was not always seeing threats when controlling a different character. Perhaps adding a visual cue would help. Nonetheless, it's a really cool game! Great job!

MirrorHeartFirst off, really cool game! The concept is interesting. Switching between characters with different abilities is a fun mechanic.
At first I didn't realize that Zoodle could put his brothers to sleep, but after I figured that out I managed to win. It would be nice to be able to switch characters without being right next to them, that way you could place the brothers strategically around the room and switch between them as needed.
Overall a very fun game, good job!

Get Out of my Dungeon!Your game was assigned to me via Review Swap from the Post Jam Productions Server :)
It's so cute!
I didn't really understand what was happening so I kept getting game over, but it was cute!

Evacuation Protocol: Awakened CityLove the vibe and the art. Super cool that you were able to get 3 playable characters with different abilities into the game. I had a hard time with not seeing the threat if I'm not controlling the right character. Maybe if the character that can see threats has ones, it should be freaking out? Like an animation that shows they are stressed so you can switch over to them? Still, really cool what you made!

ManerfishFun mechanic to change between the characters. Having all the characters and the sleep mechanic can be a bit overwhelming for a new player though so separating them in different stages as tutorial stages at the start would be a very nice addition.

The Tidy AssassinGreat concept and fun game mechanics, but very tough, as there is too much to learn from the get-go. I think this game would improve by easing in the various game mechanics, e.g. starting off with just the gun-wielding character, then introducing the second one, etc. I liked the art and the sounds are satisfying.

Laqua & FieroReally enjoyable as many have said already, the sleep mechanic is a little more unique than shooting and repairing so a better tutorial would be nice.

Primial SurvivalPretty unique idea. I didn't understand how everything worked for a bit but once I got it it was pretty fun. Having each character only able to see certain things and having to go to another character to switch makes managing everything an interesting challenge. Nice work.

Swap MotionThe music was great! The way it switched betwenn characters. Also the pixelart is really cute. I didnt get the sleeping at first, because i didnt put the other boys to bed, but i think thats a me problem.
Good Job!
