Animation looks good, and I liked the idea of having a spirit to help you out.

Love the music and setting. Sadly I died 20 times trying to jump over the spikes (even though I put the rocks above them). Gonna try it again :)

@Gamepopper. Thanks! actually at one point the animation was even better, but we had issues with the mesh deformation… #gamejamsarenotlongenough :P

@attractivenerd Yea, don't know what happened there. for a while that jump was a cinch to make if you jumped off the boulder, but towards the end of development i started to hit the spikes more often too. maybe i fudge a jump force number somewhere. Or our rock got smaller…. hate it when that happens.

Thanks for Playing!

I really like the dual mechanic of the character and the sprite. Nice work!

Nice art! It was really easy to get caught on geometry though.

Good game, awesome shading. The jump glitched out a bit for me, but overall a nice experience!

Liked the animation, although I managed to bug it twice. Had to download it because I though web version had a bug having everything black and didn't know what I was doing (like climbing out of nowhere), however the desktop version looked the same. A pity :(
Music helped getting into the game, and it's got decent gameplay.

Good game

Couldn't get it to work on Chrome, Windows 7. The first time I played, the rocky background was completely black, and I couldn't see where to climb up on the far right. I thought maybe a texture didn't load, so I refreshed the page, and after that, the "Play" button wouldn't work. Such a cool idea, though, and graphics are great!

Amazing aesthetics and narrative, and amazing audio. Gameplay was very smooth, and you were very creative w/ the theme. Well done!

I like the dual control. Good job !

Good graphics and I liked controlling the two characters simultaneously.

A couple of times Pocket got stuck in the scenery and unable to jump, though.

Solid entry

cool concept but it took me wayy to long to not die on the corner of those spikes then when i fanaly got to cool looking eye dude and tried to switch spirit colours i hit "return" and it reset the whole game... in short, fuck those spikes. cool game tho nice music and atmosphere

i like the vibe the game is giving off however the background made it kinda hard to see where i was going sometimes. otherwise good job!

Nice game, I really like the spirit "co-op"

papygaragos 2014-05-07 17:47

Well someone was expecting another theme :)

I had a weird graphical glitch (I think it's a glitch) where everything except the background and the 2 characters were completely black. Reloading the game didn't solve the problem. So I had trouble moving navigating the world and found it very unforgiving
