I enjoyed this, but character kept getting stuck on the platforms.
Enjoyed it ! Impressive work in 3 days !_! The moving platform one got me hard time brain but i went thro it ! o /
Haha, glad you were able to get through the moving platforms one - definitely a difficulty spike there (and some janky bugs)!
Lovely little game!
It is really impressive how polished you got this in just 3 days, especially the sounds and music. I found one tiny bug though; in the level where there are the levers and moving platforms, pressing on those twice in quick succession leads to the platforms' animations bugging out. The characters' animations also sometimes glitched out - on some cases it looked like they were running and in other cases their legs were moving at snail speed.
But overall though, the gameplay here is quite interesting; puzzly, but not too much. The ending was also great, props for that! 👌
Thank you, glad you enjoyed, and thanks for the recognition on the ending, worked hard to make it feel rewarding! Agreed with your feedback, definitely some things to improve. Platforms are a little buggy, and characters running over gates that were put down / bridges cause some animation issues. Things to fix for the future!
Great game! Good use of the limitation and solid puzzles. Only issue, which was a very minor one, was placing the barrel down was a bit buggy in that you couldn't quite tell where it was actually going to go.
Thank you for the feedback! Given a little more time would have loved to polish a few things, definitely agree around improving barrel placement!
Awesome game! I love the concept's simplicity. Execution was very good too.
Thanks for playing :)
A really Lovely concept! Thanks for this puzzle game!
you made a wonderfull game! I like it alot!
Great job on this entry, really impressive in 72h. The text transitions were so cool!
cool puzzle game! it really got a lot more fun with the second character, trying to make them work together. the pathfinding got a little buggy when on the moving platforms but I think it's a solid concept!
Agreed, the platforms one is def a little buggy, but really glad you enjoyed!
Fun mechanics, and interesting interpretation of the limitation. Really neat work! The puzzles are challenging and fun.
So firstly id like to say this is a fantastic entry i love the vibe and ambience along with a isometric view, and i only really have one negative clicking on objects with characters felt good but selecting the different characters just didn't i think its due to them being quite small but maybe add a larger "hitbox" to select them, overall though really enjoyed your guys game
Thanks for playing, and thank you for the feedback. Will look into increasing the hitbox for the characters after the jam!
I think the limitation could have been implemented into the game more, but the presentation here is top notch. Love the style, and I love puzzle games so this was right up my alley. Not the trickiest game in the world, but still very fun and satisfying to play! Wouldn't mind seeing this polished up a bit.
Love the feedback, thank you! Agreed with your point on the limitation. We had loftier goals of incorporating dwarven runes into puzzles, but unfortunately didn't have the time. Outside that, thanks for playing, and glad you enjoyed! :)
Hey all, excited for you to try our game! It's about ancient dwarves delving deep into a mine, solving puzzles along the way. Hope you enjoy! :)
