Awesome game! I read the directions of which control to use to suspend the blocks but I personally couldn't get past that part, I think I'm just bad with games XD I had fun either way, I loved the character, music, and controls. Nice job! :D

I definitely could have explained it better at that part. The grab button will suspend a thrown block in the air, but you can't be near any blocks when the button is pressed (you'll just grab that new block instead). Also, it's on a bit of a delay due to the animation, so it's better to suspend immediately after throwing. Definitely could use some polish though.

This was a unique one to say the least xD It is a shame that you didn't have time to finish it up because I really did like some aspects like the picking up, throwing and suspending blocks. That was a neat mechanic with a lot of potential for platforming puzzles! The art was also very fun, reminded me of something along the lines of Little Big Planet!

I must say though, the platforming itself felt a bit "heavy", if that makes sense. It wasn't super satisfying and the character didn't always do what I was trying to. So if that were to be fixed up a bit I think this could be AMAZING!

As you mentioned, it is not finished. But the game is absolutely hilarious, I had a blast playing it and laughed out loud. I threw far too many boxes at the boss, it felt like a box party. I sincerely hope you have time to finish the game eventually!

This game has a lot of charm, I love the characters and the animations! I'm sorry you couldn't finish this! The wall slap and box throwing mechanics were pretty unique and made the game fun. Hopefully you continue to work on this because this could be really cool!

imo getting caught up in the animating not a bad thing cause those characters look rad. i totally love the boss scene with the three of them. cool simple mechanic ideas like the wall slap and suspend throw that worked well with the character.

Love the characters. Wish you had more time so I could play the themed mechanic!

Developer

Thank you! Some of the themed mechanics exist in the code, but I needed to put in either a dialogue/choice system or just use the menu system. I bit more than I could chew, I guess.
