Brilliant use of theme, especially with tilting on mobile devices. The graphics were also very nice.

My girlfriend wants it to be more difficult. Thanks for making it. Loved the theme and music.

cstudios 2014-08-25 22:24

nice graphics, good idea

pixelmind 2014-08-25 22:47

Couldn't try it but looks like a great concept on video.

Spectacular :) Nice mechanics and theme

shasharala 2014-08-25 23:10

That was very nice! The theme was applied very well.

This is awesome! You have a super nice game here. It's an interesting idea and it works very well on Android . Didn't finish the whole thing yet but I'm going to keep playing it.

Wow very well executed and presented. The little story going on there on the signs had me smile.
I think the mechanocs work well for mobile devices and it was fun every time especially because of the changing music.. So cool I wish there was more :-)

Waaaaaat full 5 star this is amazing! Expand a little and sell this bad boy!

Doesn't install on my device (Android 2.3.6 API 10 - Samsung Galaxy Pocket). The package installer finishes with 'Application not installed'. I also tried installing on an avd, but couldn't figure out how to do it.

ponywolf 2014-08-26 15:28

It should only require Android 2.3.3, but we are doing OpenGL effects, so some older devices might struggle. Thanks for giving it a shot!

I can't play it (no Android phone), but the video looks very interesting. Nice use of the hell/heaven style. I like how both characters are chained together, even they are of the opposite sides.

majko 2014-08-26 15:59

Awesome.

luduspactum 2014-08-26 16:03

Very cool idea. I love how it plays out. I download it and play it in my way to work, totally worth the time!

radmars 2014-08-26 16:16

woah! awesome game. really nice use of the theme, clever and fun gameplay & slick graphics. Really dig it. Runs great on my phone too :D All around amazing game!

ponywolf 2014-08-26 16:30

@radmars I love your team's games too. I was one of the (minor) contributors to melonJS last year, and I saw some of your stuff then. Your current entry is crazy good as well.

reverend-speed 2014-08-26 16:30

Just watched the video. BRILLIANT idea. Looks beautiful, sounds awesome (especially the change between worlds!). Great work, ponywolf!

vandriver 2014-08-26 17:49

Great job!

zoomyzoom 2014-08-26 18:13

Brilliant game! I love how you are literally connected XD, awesome graphics, great music. Well done!

My only complaint is that the controls feel very unresponsive sometimes on my Nexus 5

designernap 2014-08-26 18:24

no way to play this for me unfortunately BUT the video looks great and thanks for uploading it. I love the music and the game looks fun.

radmars 2014-08-26 18:34

@ponywolf <3<3 thanks! MelonJS + Tiled have been really great to work with. Ima pester our devs to contribute some of our stuff one of these days :3

ratking 2014-08-26 22:48

Nearly perfect entry, great idea!

hexadecima1 2014-08-27 01:34

Charming, polished, clever and beautiful. The controls were a little weird at times. Making it mobile only was a good descision, it wouldn't work as well or be as intuitive elsewhere.

pinkninja 2014-08-27 16:55

Very good idea and use of the theme. Nice gameplay :D Good work!

dagamesta 2014-08-28 03:21

I absolutely love this, you were able to make a rather complicated game on the phone, and the use of theme was really good. That being said, I feel like platforming was hard and would be easier on a device other than a phone using tilt. Still love it though. We also made a game, check it out if you haven't already. (I don't really remember all the names in the comments for our game)

timtipgames 2014-08-28 06:37

I am not a big fan of tilt controls in mobile games, but these were well executed! Love the idea and am happy to see another mobile only game in the jam.

pierrec 2014-08-28 09:57

Am I doing it wrong or is there only two levels? I'm really frustrated now, which means this game is really good. Very clever use of the themes and of the tilt mechanics.

mactinite 2014-08-28 15:47

Really awesome mechanic, works really well on mobile. The only weird thing is that it seems as though you collide with the collectibles and that felt weird. Anyways, awesome job!

midnightcreators 2014-08-28 16:51

hahaha, nice game! :D I love this core concept.

@mactinte Yeah, the concept was the collectables would do damage to the character who wasn't on top, but we ran out of time to get the UI stuff for that working... So I left the the collectables as physical kind of things.

When i get a chance I want to spend a day just cleaning it up and putting the rest of the graphics the team made into it.

androniq 2014-09-13 16:32

Really good idea and mechanics. Graphics are very nice. Would be great with more levels / challenges / if you can die.
