Okay so multiplayer bad idea for game jams. But....i managed to play by myself. And surprisingly it was fun to play. I think 3 player would be great if i had more people to play with. took me a second to find the lock to the last gate. And the end level was strange. but maybe part of theme? overall not bad. good game.

solid 4 game, cute art, cool concept, but a bit glitchy, I sadly don't have 2 other friends to play it with me so I played it by myself as well but didn't managed to get too far, i basically managed to soft-lock myself and without a way to restart the lvl easily it was the end of my journey as i didn't felt like replaying the previous "puzzle" again only to get back to where I was :(.

Loved the music and art!

Controllers felt a bit glitchy. Graphics and sound were really nice!

Something did not work for the JUMP and for some reason my player 2 did not appear in the game. Despite that, the graphics look very good and the BGM is quite nice as well. I like the multiplayer feature, but I think it will work against you for people playtesting your game :(. Not many people will have 3 people gathered together to playtest games. That aside, I think it is a really cool game.

EDIT: For the theme, I did not get the 2 incompatible genres. Is it at the end? I could not reach it because of the 3 player thing :(.

Awesome graphics, I enjoyed the music too ;) It's quite possible to play alone, but it's really hard haha. I'm looking forward to being able to play this with actual friends. Solid entry, well done !

riyeou 2018-04-24 04:02

@Albuquerque Yeah, you get to see the other genre after finishing the first level

albuquerque 2018-04-24 04:09

@Riyeou May I suggest you to make a gameplay video for your game and post it here (also, including the ending - even if you have to put a "SPOILER" tag)? It would help people to see and appreciate the work you have put in the game more easily. Also, I am curious :3

The Game looks solid! it reminds me of my favorite games I used to play when I was a kid! the game has very catchy background music and theme of it makes me want to play more! really good game and keep up the good work!

riyeou 2018-04-24 07:25

@Albuquerque We'll try to get one posted here later! :smile:

While it's well made, the theme aren't really combined... But it's well made. Also I found a statue, what is it used for?

sohakes 2018-04-25 03:36

I would test by myself, but it didn't work. "ESCAPE" appears on the screen and then it looks like I'm stuck in this screen. I tried to press WASD IJKL and the arrow keys but nothing happens :(. It looks quite cool and I wanted to see the weird ending.

Hi @sohakes Press 1 on keyboard / A on Controller to add a character. If you're with friends feel free to press 1 again. I hope you enjoy it.

sohakes 2018-04-25 04:07

Oh, I got till the end now. I didn't know the little guy could wall grab. I was doing everything by making on character jump in the head of the other, not sure if that was the intended way. Then I tried to jump many times in a row and he kind of flied (or wall grabbed? not sure).

I found the end a little funny, but the big guy would have an advantage, although I played by myself. Overall quite cool and polished little game, could be really fun with friends!

Good design and music!!!

ghastlymicrowave 2018-04-26 00:57

Took me a while to figure out how to get the small one to higher places, there was a little bit of glitch exploitation to see it though, but a cute game nonetheless. The music got kinda repetitive after a while tho...

niterich 2018-04-28 17:42

Like others have said, making a multiplayer game for a game jam isn't the best idea since most of us are playing solo. That said, I liked the graphics, and the music would fit extremely well if it were longer and had more sections. But speaking as someone who played solo, I just got frustrated at it. The puzzle to get the statue was where I drew the line. I got softlocked and just gave up. I found out the beaked one could wall jump, but pulling it off felt like a glitch over an intended feature. And I've heard that the genre mixing takes place in the second stage, but I simply couldn't reach there.

This game has such fantastic visuals, but I do wish there was a single player version! Great work though in such little time :smile:

diego-manarim 2018-05-02 18:12

I really would like to play this game, but I do not have anyone to do that. One of my tips would be to put a simple command to change characters by queuing them. Like in The Lost Vikings.

Really fun game! When connecting a controller as second player the controller only works to jump and attack not to move. I really liked how the game felt. Keep up the good work!

zombie-virals 2018-05-11 00:14

That was fun by myself let alone if I could play this with controllers, the ending was completely unexpected! Great job guys!! Took me awhile to get the hang of the double jump, but once I did, it made things a lot easier!

Nice game :=)

Friendship is Magic is a tagline associated with the popular animated television series, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

The tagline has become a catchphrase and is often used to emphasize the importance of strong and meaningful relationships between individuals. It has inspired a loyal fanbase and has even been the subject of academic research on the impact of the show's themes on children.
