Great game, hope you can do some more levels in the future because it was very fun.

Really enjoy these types of puzzle games and this one was very solid. I wish there were more levels that I could play! Great job!

Submitted

Simple and solid. Would love to play more levels.

I really liked it!  The gameplay is nice, and the story is too. The ending is what got me. I did not expect it and was honestly kind of sad by it. If this were a full game, I would pay for it.

very good platform mechanic , puzzle game.

Hey.. this is actually a really unique and interesting concept! I like your show-don't-tell method of teaching the player how the mechanics and level design work. I think it's really smart. If it was me, the next thing I would add is some sound effects and music to give it more impact and polish. Cool idea and game!

Developer

Thank you very much!, but there is actually a tutorial where it explains the mechanics

Submitted

Nice job! :D

I like the game concept and the fact that the dad and son works together.

I think adding a bit of artwork and music and polishing the game wouldn't hurt, but I know tie can be a issue. 

Developer

Thank you!

Pretty neat. I liked the story. Could use a little more polish like music and sound effects and I wish switching rooms would work differently (like, you have to get both characters to the edge to enter the next room), but I still hat a good time with the game.

Developer

Thank you! Maybe i update the game with some sound effects

Submitted

well that was a twist ending, made me feel sad for the dad!

the concept was really solid. some extra work and this could be a really fun puzzle game!

Developer

you are right, it has really cool mechanics to work with, but i had no time for that, thank you for the feedback!

Oh wow, what an unexpected turn at the end. The gameplay was really nice and worked well together to emphazise your narrative! Cute visuals aswell.

Developer
