This game is amazing! Good quality on the mechanics of doubling the movement and also good abstraction in the theme. Played it a lot, but couldn't get past Level 3, it's really hard :p Great job!

Nice use of the theme! But to me Level 3 was the limit as well.

I also have to give up at Level 3. Nice twist of the concept and everything works fine. The graphics also work well with the idea. Nice Job!

This game deserves a lot more reviews than it has. It's fiendishly tricky, looks nice, and was brilliantly done. Unfortunately, I got stuck on 3-3, Rescue the bunny princess, because of glitches. When I moved my right bun into the bottom right corner to lure the hedgehogs, he would either get stuck on the rock or, after a few seconds of standing in the opening with the hedgehogs trying to push in, the bun would be teleported into the outer wall. This is unfortunate, since I didn't see how I could complete the level without luring those hedgehogs to that spot. See the screenshot for the problem area. Note that I have only 2 buns but no game over, because my third bun has disappeared.

I hope the dev has time to review some other games to push this little gem higher into the cue of to-be-reviewed games. It's one of the best I've played, and I'd be a shame if it didn't hit the 20 ratings.

@Bificommander thanks for the review! really appreciate it. I've been suffering through finals the past week and only just finished so I'm finally getting around to playing and rating games.

About the bug, thanks for the details. I was aware there was an issue there but I didn't know the bunny could actually be pushed out of the map. I'll get right on fixing that (Ludum Dare allows fixing game-breaking bugs afaik). If you want to bypass the level from there, you can check out the walkthrough video I included in the main post, basically I only leave the bunny to lure for a very brief period of time so the hedgehogs don't touch each other for long: There is a physics glitch with Godot when using KinematicBodies (used for characters' movement) that causes them to spaz out when multiple ones bump together. I wasn't able to find a fix during the compo period so I just left it since it didn't seem game-breaking.

Thanks again

I liked this game. It was hard and also kinda scary. Like how abstract it was.

Hey miziziz. I got past the level. I was basically doing what the walkthrough suggested, it's just that when I went down too far near that red circle I tended to get stuck on the stone. And if I stayed in the opening too long while the hedgehogs were trying to push into a hole they couldn't get into, I could get teleported. By following the walkthrough and not waiting in the opening with my lure-bun, I could finish the game.

I hope you don't mind, but I made a post on the main page trying to get more people to your game. I felt your game deserved the extra attention. (I just hope not too many people will assume this is a sock-puppet account :p)

miziziziz 2017-12-15 12:49

@Bificommander haha I don't mind, really appreciate it. Glad you made it past that level.

Regarding that bug. I ran into an issue in the same location, but it didn't teleport off the map. That bunny just got collision stuck. Once I took the bunny down there, I couldn't get it back out.

I like this kind of game, really smart. Nice entry dude !

Those are some nightmarish hedgehogs! Cool game :)

A very pretty game with a great idea behind it. I loved the sounds and the gameplay, while simple, was very interesting and the game itself worked beautifully. But those hedgehogs, damn; they're gonna give me nightmares.

Very original gameplay.

This game was just Terrifying. The visuals of the hedgehogs and the all the sounds of the game really made it a horrifying experience (In a good way!). Not to mention the amount of levels and the difficulty of some levels just felt perfect. Never a moment where a stage felt impossible, just had to stop and think ahead. Really awesome job!

Love art style and terrifying Hedgehogs design. Moving several bunnies at one time also quite interesting mechanic. Levels feels different from low to high pace, thats also nice.

Nice game.
