The Webplayer build works fine, but the WebGL one is crashing on Chrome :S

Graphics and audio are lovely, but unfortunately the controls were a bit lacking, which made the game frustrating. Coordinating both sides is already a challenging task (and where a huge chunk of the fun resided), so there's no need to add further complications ;)

If you can improve that you can get a very nice game.

Really neat game, I love the visuals!

Enjoyed the graphics and the concept! Experienced a number of bugs while playing though. Was challenging to learn correct movements and found myself mashing x and y, which causes the fabrics to spread further and further out, and then crashed on level complete.

Very neat interpretation of the theme, original mechanics and nice graphics!

Awesome game! A few bugs and the WebGL bug doesn't work. Anyways, the webplayer one was fine! Graphics were so cool.

Hi, WebGl is broken, if case you need help, maybe the solution will be to check ".htaccess". Sometimes you need to delete it from folder.

Its good game though some bugs here and there. Graphics are well done, though buttons could feel more responsive.

Control two buttons using two buttons? It really takes a moment to get used to controls (yeah, I know there only two buttons, but still) - not only you need to steer two characters in two separated levels, one of them is upside down! Visually game looks really nice and together with upbeat music fits well into carefree story of two buttons traversing the textile world.

Music's great, visuals are solid, and the design seems good, but the game's just a bit too glitchy to be playable.

Dashing seems to involve random jittering which sometimes tries to clip through the central platform. And jumping with Y sometimes makes X jump as well, at random points. I've found the most effective strategy to be mashing both Y and X quickly, which causes both buttons to leap away from the central platform and avoid all the obstacles.

Also, X and Y on a QWERTY keyboard are incredly far apart (I'm guessing you were developing for a QWERTZ). A and D might have been a cleaner option.

My first attempt at physics based controls, totally buggy :P yes, I used a german keyboard, very poor choice of keys ! (the mouse is even worse, give it a try !)

Very nice concept and cute art style. Perhaps a clearer difference between the two buttons would've been nice though, as I regularly found myself forgetting which was which. The controls were a bit hard to get used to and I feel like it took a bit too long to switch the character's positions, which meant doing so was a bit of a chore and often got me killed.
I also discovered that spamming y+x together allowed me to fly over the entire map, which was fun!
Overall a really neat concept for a puzzle game and one that was rather enjoyable, good work!

Really neat, good aesthetic.

Great little game, awesome graphics

Interesting game. Love the cloth style.

I'm not sure if it's the WebGL version only, but this is what I tried, it seems that the buttons are randomly jumping / dashing and it is kinda laggy. Besides that it looks like an interesting concept, I'd very much like to play a solid version of it.

Great visuals, but I don't have a lot of feeling of control.

valandre 2015-12-16 13:29

Nice entry, just a little hard, but fun! such a good exploitation of the theme!

seconddimension 2015-12-16 14:27

Really liked the graphics and audio, really suited the game. Your take on the two button theme was great, I would never have thought of that.

Great game! Amazing audio, graphics and use of theme!

Graphics are beautiful and, together with the soundtrack, makes a pretty nice and cute package. Couldn't get the gameplay right away, though. :P
