I like how it starts out with this general "Just go at it!" attitude, without to much of a tutorial. The graphics are crisp and mix well with the music.
Unfortunately the jump seems lower in the web version than in the demo video, so I could not get very far.
Thanks for playing the game. The jump problem seems to appear to some people, but I still didn't figure it out why.
I like the character switching mechanic with the gem toss, i also like how you used color only on interactive elemens of the game like characters and such and the rest is monochrome, it has that spectrum look to it with a modern touch like the smooth physics when you throw the gem and other objects.
Small issues still : the way you explained the controls i didn't think every character will have different abilities, so i got stuck for a while on the first level until i discovered that the green guy could double jump, once i figured this out i had a better time so the only small issue i'd say that remains is not having a quick restart button for when you fail to throw the gem on a character and after it stops you have to wait through the rest of the timer to try again.
Other than that it's quite fun and you've nailed the coop aspect especially in some later levels where you have to carefully understand which char can go where in order to clear the way for others etc..
Good job here :)
Thanks for playing the game. And I am happy that you had fun playing it.
Yes, I agree on that I didn't put any tutorial in the beginning of the game, that was my bad. And for restarting you can use <R> to restart the level, sorry I didn't write this info in any place, I was in a rush.
Thanks a lot for the feedback.
Oh no problem i didn't try R (which is obvious) so my bad about that :(
Really nice entry! The art was very cohesive, the music catchy, and the concept fun.
However I had some issues jumping as well, they do not jump like in the video, not nearly as high... Also of note the yellow one seems to be able to double jump if you tap jump quick enough and aren't right up against a wall. It's the only way I was able to progress. Really not sure why...
Otherwise my only suggestion: I think some type of throw strength indicator would help. It's currently hard to predict how far the gem is going to go.
Thanks for playing the game. And Thanks a lot for the feedback.
The bug of not jumping hight enough is weird. I don't think it happens for everyone. I removed the half jump thinking it would be the problem but it seems not. I will check that out, but that would be after the Jam ends.
On the other hand, the yellow brother double jump it's the first time I hear about it. It should be a bug.
Thanks for the feedback, and I will try to work on the throw strength indicator, that would be a nice idea for the game.
Wanted to let you know I think the jumping issue may be tied to high refresh rate monitors? I originally played it on a 144hz G-SYNC monitor and had the jumping issues, the frame deltas would be much smaller (6.94ms)... However I tried it on a cheapo typical 60hz (16.6ms) display and the jumping was fine! I can't say for sure if that is the issue, but it might be worth looking into?
Thanks a lot for the information. I was lost why this is happening. At less it I have a lead to follow now.
Thanks a lot.
Really impressive level of polish in this game. The graphics are good, the music is good, the level design seems pretty spot on. I also had trouble figuring out the first level until I came back and read the controls, but after that I was able to move on. I like how all the brothers play differently and look a bit different to kinda show what they are good at.
The only thing that was frustrating to me was the arc'ed gem toss. I'd be standing right next to my brother and still miss the throw and have to restart the level. It'd be really nice if it was more of a strong straight toss at the cursor or if it the brothers would suck it in if I threw it "close enough".
Thanks for playing the game, and keeping with it even if it's hard to play and with a frustrating gem physics. and Thanks a Lot for the feedback.
I still think that the problem is not from thrown the gem but from the "physics of the gem". I knew that was a bad physics from the first day but I had to keep up. I used the RigidBody but, and there physics made the gem movement unpredictable. I was planning to replace it with KinematicBody and create my own bouncy physics, but the time wasn't in my favor.
The idea the brothers suck the gem if it close to theme seems a good idea. And also the game needs some check points (I runout of time before I make them).
I will work on fixing the game and adding more mechanics with more levels in the future.
Yeah, I think you've got a good point, it could have been the gem physics. Had you tried using a circle collider instead of sticking with the gem shape? It might have made it a bit more predictable, which could also help. Just a thought.
Thanks for the advise, but I am using circle collision (it seems that a circle it's just a polygon with a lot of faces, not a perfect circle).
I liked the pixel art graphics and the music, they really fit together. The overall presentation is really polished. I was really interested in discovering the different brothers but sadly I couldn't figure out how to pass the start of the first level (I feel bad ^^). I am stuck at the kind of door and my brother is sleeping next to it. I guess I have to wake him up so that he can help me somehow?
Thanks for checking the game. It's my bad that I focused on making the game and not in puting any clues and hints to the player to know what he should do.
You need to pass the Gem you holding to the next brother to get it to the right place. You aim with the mouse and throw the gem with Left mouse button.
Check out the video for full game play, because the next levels contain puzzles that not self explanatory.
Oh I see so I had to use the mouse ^^. Thank you, I'll try again then.
Nice assets and music. The game freezes at the first level (html version).
Yes I know, there is a bug but I can't upload a fix.
You check this link : https://ahmedrkm.itch.io/collaboration-fix
This game looks really nice. I like the graphics and the sounds. The concept is cool but I failed at the first level!
The game freeze on the first level because a bug. Check this fix : https://ahmedrkm.itch.io/collaboration-fix
No I found that link, I failed to discover the double jump! But I have now and I'm stuck on level 2 instead! Was cool to see more of the game though, thanks for pulling me back to it :-)
Thanks for checking again, yes the game is hard and I don't provide so much hints to the player.
If you stuck you can watch the video on the player there you can see all the 4 levels of the game.
Hi there, I tried playing the original and the updated link below. Original doesn't run. And for the updated one I cannot make the 2nd and 3rd character jump very high. Sometimes I can get the 2nd character up to that level. But never the 3rd. And they _do not_ jump like they do in your video.
This is a pity because the video shows you have lots of content (which I want to play!). I will hold off on rating until perhaps a minor fix comes out.
Thanks for checking, I don't know what is happening actually. It works fine for me, but a friend say the same thing about the game.
I think I will remove the half jump, it should be the problem.
I removed the half jump from the game. I don't know if it will work for now or not.
Remember that the Green brother have a double jump.
Hey,
Nice little game you made, really like it. played and rated.
please feel free to play and rate my game:

just played again. in the first stage, I was standing above the 3th brother. I didn't jump down. I dropped the diamond and it felt trough the floor.
looked like it bounced into the corner on the left and didn't had a ground there, so it felt down and timer kept running.Thanks for pointing that out. I will check that.
Great concept and puzzles. However the mechanic of throwing the diamond to whoever needs it and missing is frustrating as you have to start the whole level again. But that may just be my bad aim. :P
Thanks for playing the game. I agree with you throwing the gem is fine the problem with the gem it self, I used Rigidbody2d for it but it gives that backward effect, I was planning to changing to KinimaticBody and creating my own physics but I didn't have time for that, and Yes it is frustrating even to me, but you can go around that if you aim to the right spot so it doesn't go back or stop. I was planning for a checkpoints because the game is hard but I didn't have time for that too.
I hope you enjoyed it with those problems. I am curious which level you reach.
I really like the game even thou I never get past the second level (I'm suck at shooting) It's totally better than my trash game
Thanks for playing the game. and yes it is hard a bit, there isn't much hints for the player to know what he should do.
Don't say that, there is no trash game here. We all just having fun, and trying to make somthing work and be enjoyable. The game you did is really good.
Fun and clever game! Well done and thanks for sharing! (I played the fixed version on the other link).
It's a really fun concept and the puzzles were enjoyable. Your art and music choices were spot on!
Thanks for checking the game, and I am happy that you enjoy it.
This Game seems intresting but i could'nt play it, the game got stuck
but i still love the environment of the game and the pixel art is so cool:)
Thanks for checking out. I can't submit a game fix, but I uploaded the game in another project:
https://ahmedrkm.itch.io/collaboration-fix
Just for know, if they will allow me to submit a fix.
