Fun game, however I don't see the connection to the theme. Can you change characters before spawn? If so, how?

@patricklorio Press C while in planning mode.

Nice game, I liked the small details such as the platforms moving back a little before moving.

syl 2013-12-16 04:12

didnt got it when it was time to change colors with C
some mechanics :)

Well done puzzle game, though the physics seem to fight you a bit as you sometimes bounce around.

endesga 2013-12-16 04:40

Art is clean and colourful!

I'm not sure how this connects to the theme but, yeah, fun game nonetheless!

wenzil 2013-12-16 04:46

The last level was very difficult!

funktor 2013-12-16 04:49

Fun little game. Couldn't figure out the theme connection. I liked the end of level animation.

silentbunny 2013-12-16 04:58

Blistering audio but I like the idea. Reminded me of Thomas Was Alone a little bit.

Masterfully executed tutorial. The text "C to swap characters" persisting as a background element after you spawn (and thus can no longer change characters) was a bit hard to understand, though I got it after a while. I like it a lot and it fits the theme very well.

I didn't think much of this game... until I started playing it! Awesome game. Takes a little getting in to. The controls are a bit odd - I find for best results, to do a run-and-jump, I run first, and before I completely slow down, I just, otherwise the jump doesn't occur.

This game is rather awesome!

I had a pretty hard time with the controls. The right-control key wouldn't fire, so I had to kind-of adjust my hands to hit the keys, so it took me out of the game a bit, but I think other posters are right, you have to get into a bit, give it a chance, and it's pretty fun.

ncannasse 2013-12-16 08:58

Is it me or "C" key was not working?

sebastian 2013-12-16 09:05

I like the effect when you shoot. Nice game ;)

ghosrath 2013-12-16 09:06

Fun game, the controls are a bit challenging though

crockid5 2013-12-16 11:00

No fun at all, glitchy AF and doesn't fit the theme at all.

sheepolution 2013-12-16 11:16

The sound effects were a bit annoying. The graphics weren't the best either. The gameplay of going through the level with the mutliple character was interesting.

majorcrampas 2013-12-16 11:46

Where is the theme?

chicknstu 2013-12-16 12:29

Was going well up until the level where I was told I could push C to change characters. Because I Was pushing C and nothing was happening! (Playing the web version, on a Mac)

I'm a sucker for minimalist art styles too. :)

latfoued 2013-12-16 16:55

The mechanics are neat, i just dont like the sliding movement. And also iw was confusing when changing colors for the first time.

2013-12-16 17:49

very clever, it looked easy but proved a real puzzle. The mechanics were well done,however, (physics) inertia was a killer and some of the elevator controls were not too clear, but I took that as part of your puzzle.

zhrack 2013-12-16 19:15

Very nice game!And nice tutorial, integated into the game in a very nice way!

grifdail 2013-12-16 19:15

Funny game. However, the physics is very strange and the controls are hard to remembers.

mrjordan 2013-12-16 21:14

I wasn't expecting this depth of gameplay from the screenshots, but this is a genuinely *GOOD* concept. With some better assets this could really REALLY be a hit.

hyde-wyvern 2013-12-18 03:46

Well deserved five stars, extremely fun! :D good job

elforama 2013-12-19 02:45

Thanks for all the feedback guys, it's really encouraging.

I'm aware that the controls are wonky. Sadly I only had saturday to finish and ran out of time to complete them.

I've fixed the controls in a non submitted version since I can't upload a new one and I plan to continue with this concept.

Thanks for the support!

This game would have scored really high two ludum dares ago, when the theme was "minimalism", I'm sort of missing its explicit connection to the theme this time tho. That small opinion aside, the game is very well made, and probably one of the better games I've played this ludum dare.

mortus 2013-12-21 09:45

The concept is great! But unresponsive controls kinda ruins the fun. If you could give it more time and improve platformer mechanics a bit, it would be a great and fun game!

All levels were quite easy except the last one, which was fun to understand and quite frustrating to actually complete because of hard controls.

gfm 2014-01-04 14:03

Controls were too slippery. Otherwise, interesting mechanic.

gatechgrad 2014-01-06 02:19

Neat little platformer. I liked the use of particle effects.

archaeometrician 2014-01-07 01:09

Nice game ! I like the idea of one character at the time. The controls are good, the gameplay is challenging ! Great work :)
