Cohesive game, had several 'a-ha!' moments and unexpected uses of the elements was great. Awesome!
Extremely well put together! A unique idea and I love that it can be couch coop aswell. The only issue I had was dissonance between the sound effects and the music, as they frequently clashed between levels (only a minor complaint haha).
Played like 20 games from the jam at the moment, and this one is my favorite so far! I love the puzzles and the art direction. I had a big smile on my face like the characters haha
Thank you for making this game!
Very clever game! Well done :)
This is a very very good puzzle game! One of those where you actually have to think in creative ways. Took me over an hour to beat it I think, well done!
Cool game idea :0
Excellent - love the game feel!
This is a nice "sokoban-like" game. Loved the puzzles, loved that the hand can be used as a "box" as well, very well-thought game, I finished all the 13 levels and it was a great experience.
The art and SFX are very good as well, one of my favorite games so far. Good job!
very good and cool game. nice music. love
the art is sublime. The music is fantastic. The puzzles superb. This is one of my favorite entries so far Very horse divorse from one of gmtk's gjs but it feels sweeter and has so much juice and the concept makes so much sense while having a lot of personality
Also I really like how the levels are laid out. They're all there to reinforce something. Level 13 was super hard but satisfying. I got very many aha moments from that.
Yessssss this was so rad. just so much fun all around; concept, level design, music, sfx, art. love it!!
Love it. Super simple and super fun. Probably the best match for the theme I've seen. The hand-fetti effect when you win a level was a stand out visual effect for me haha.
Really great game! I loved the mechanics and puzzles and there are a lot of smart but small decisions and functions the help with playability as well. Awesome job all around
You guys absolutely nailed it. Great idea, great implementation, great art, great music, everything. Really one of the top entries for me.
One thing that especially stood out to me was the way you introduced new mechanics to the game. That went really smooth throughout the levels.
I could not help myself from laughing the entire time i played this, I love the mechanic and just the idea of these people with their elastic arms doing whatever they could to hand shake was cracking me up. The puzzles felt thought out and I had a few levels where I had to sit there and really think about all the mechanics. The last level took me a few tries but the best part of puzzle games is when you get the AHA moment and this happened a few times while playing. I think this was executed very well with a simple mechanics that gets more complicated as you go. Great Job I really did love playing this.
Nice game! i like the mechanic and artstyle ! good job!
This was soo cool! The music is adorable and the game mechanics are really good too!
I love how extending arms for a handshake in the game was connected to the theme. I also really like that we get to control 2 characters and the switches/doors logic. I also lost count on how many times I accidentally cut one of the characters hand off, poor little things >_<
The levels difficulty are perfect and the game managed to completely catch and have my attention through every second of it \(^_^)/
It was a really fun experience, excellent work on this game! =^-^=
PS: I never wanted two characters to handshake so much in my entire life
i really had fun playing the game but
the puzzle is soo hard even my tiny brain can understand
and some last level you do not tell me what i have to do
especially level 6 and 7
and i stop at 8 level
but i really like the art and game design the first level
Great job
Brilliant idea of making a connection with handshakes! Loved it :D
Really enjoyed your game. The puzzles were the perfect difficulty and the discovery of new mechanics like lobbing off hands and using them as crates was great. Nice use of the theme as well. Visual and sound design were also excellent, loved it!
