This game is very creative and has the potential for many different puzzles. However, the physics are a little too free-form here and some of the obstacles are downright too tall to scale reliably.

Developer

Thanks for checking it out, I wanted it to be hard but I do think it's too hard. Thanks again!

The controls is a bit hard and the movement is too fast (maybe?). But the concept is cool, I really enjoyed the game. Keep up the good work!

I was considering limiting the max speed, ultimately decided against it, was a creative choice to keep the floaty feel. Thanks for playing!

This is great! The mechanic you introduces is cool! Imagine there are two players in some other world where they got locked up with chains or something! And they navigate that world with this mechanic! That would be cool!

Thanks man! Haha that sounds like a cool story!

The innovation, art direction and theme were all great. I felt the starting levels needed be simpler to get warmed up in. For example, missing a beginner difficult jump in level 2, meant making another difficult jump just to get back to start again meant I didn't persevere beyond level 2, despite it looking to be a promising mechanic. Maybe I missed something obvious.  Looks like it could be a fun game if I persevered, and had a bit more dexterity, or a friend lol. Congratulations.

Developer

Haha thanks for playing and thanks for the criticism

That's an interesting take on the theme, I really like it! The controls are hard but that's to be expected. I like the skill-aspect to the game, You can get them split apart just right and set up a double jump ability- like a grappling hook. I like it when there are neat little tricks built into the game mechanics. Well done

Developer

Thanks man!

I played it with my brother and we died from laughter , the stupid movement makes it a really funny game 10/10

Developer

What a cool game mechanic! One of the more interesting uses of the themes I've seen so far

Developer
