Really cool concept!! I love the idea, and I imagine if this was 2 player co-op, the gameplay would be HILARIOUS! The gameplay itself is already fun, it's obvious from the levels that there is so much you can add and do. Doesn't fit the theme very well in my opinion, but I see you kinda did a wordplay kinda thing. I'll give it a 3 in Theme but overall a 4 because the graphics.
I would love to see a version with updated graphics and local co-op!
I like the style, it reminds me of old soviet cartoons. Good job!
-Uliana Galich, never thought of that, but I really like that comparaison.
- Calzep. Thanks, you are right, there should have been a coop. But then again, I should have so much better level design, for that to be interresting.
Really interesting concept actually, and it was kind of fun to keep playing. I feel like it could have been a bit closer to the theme, but all-in-all it wasn't bad. Also, I know you opted out of the theme category, so the theme won't affect any of my ratings don't worry :)
calzep has a good point - if it was 2 player coop it would be less frustrating and more fun to play :D
On the other hand, the level design was nice, I appreciate the checkpoint system a your way of taking the theme to actually "fit" your game into the Theme :D :D
Gave me some laughs :D nice one :D
PS : Background music would be amazing :)
A very nice concept. The narrative was pretty clever.
I make it through!!
Haha, the story was very funny, love the "Broom mates".
Not a perfect realisation, but a very good game tho! i'm still smilling :D
Whew! I beat it! Nice game!
I loved how this game works. Very unique. The wide and tall witch makes for some interesting puzzles. I LOVED the graphics. I wasn't able to get past the hedgehogs but i had a blast getting there. Good level progression.
What a great game! Art style is wonderful, a mix of old soviet kids books in backgrounds and minimalist yet stylish characters; great interpretation of the theme, surprisingly challenging gameplay, and a funny tale. One of the best games I've seen among 50 games I've played so far.
This game is loveley and the puns add to it ;D
Woah! This is really good!
Lovely (and funny) story, lovely graphics (I really love the design of the witches) and last but not least : great gameplay and level design! You managed to keep it challenging but not frustrating (I only lost twice or thrice). Really, it's a lovely game! The only thing missing is a bit of music. Didn't you find something?
Few remarks: There's a typo at the end "When does the does the with come from dinner?" (well, I think it's a typo)
And : why don't you let us skip the text with X? My hands are already on X + arrows. Pressing Enter feels weird (and isn't intuitive)
@Pierrec : Thanks a lot ! I think I can answer all your questions by the same answer : lack of time to do it, fix it or think it better.
I swear that someday I'll participate in a LD event and not spend 90% on the code alone, and I have more time to do everything else.
I'll fix the typo and the X/Enter issue, though.
Outstanding art style and rock-solid game design. The sizes of the witches were well reflected in the level design. Cute writing rounded everything off and motivated to stay til the end through the challenging final stretch.
Music was obviously missing and the game could easily have benefited from some open source music from jamendo or a similar source.
Another minor issue would be that the branches look a bit unnatural in their square form, so a little less strict edges might appear less sterile.
Overall a great entry. Real shame that there was no music.
Cool game! I absolutely adore the art style!
What a neat concept! Swapping brooms was pretty fun, and you did a nice job of presentation. Wanted some sound to wrap it up but time is limited.
The art was pretty rad, nice falling frames, definitely funny.
Appreciated the nuance a few levels in when I realized that the witches were different shapes and fit into different openings. Great work!
I love the art except for the tiles, they doesn't match the witch's art really well imo. But anyway, the gameplay is awesome, great job !
Beautiful! Really lovely graphics.
What a gorgeous little game! I really like your take on the theme, that type of humour works really well here. The witches are cute as hell too! The differences between the two witches was a nice twist, but I didn't realise it was a thing until level 4, so maybe you could have forced the player to pass through small gaps on the brambles stage to teach them?
The only thing that dissapointed me was the level transitions. The witches were the real stars of the show, so I would have much preferred to hear a conversation between them than from two bystanders. Overall, I really enjoyed this game, though!
Swapping mechanic is quite novel. Want to see some more puzzles or clever situations and fewer dexterity challenges.
Eventually got to a level where my fingers couldn't keep up to keep switching in midflight. Cool concept.
Really clever game mechanics and presentation! Well done :)
Really clever game!
Nice funny story and the two sizes witches idea add a lot of fun!
(my only complain is that hitboxes are not intuitive. Maybe sprites are too big...)
