A pretty cool submission. I really liked the level design and physics based puzzles. the physic and platforming is a bit finicky but the level design really made the game good. I finished it and really enjoyed it. Well done.
@NicMagnier thanks for playing my game and thank you for your feedback!
I really enjoyed this! but then I like puzzle games! I am 100% certain though that I didn't complete the later levels the way they were intended it was pretty easy to just build a ladder to the portal with the companions, but what the hey, I had fun! Nice job. There appears to be a lot of room for expansion too, there were mechanics I discovered that didn't seem implemented at all, like bill being seemingly able to stick to and potentially climb the walls, and his ability to push the companions (though I suspect some of the later levels probably were intended to be done this way) All the same, Nice job!
Pretty neat. I got stuck on the first level with the portal high in the air but it was fun.
@meles thanks for the feedback. After releasing the game i found new methods to finish the rooms. But that's okay. The player should get creative. I had mich more ideas to play with the physics, but I ran out of time and had to polish things up.
Interesting game. While Platformer and puzzle arnen't the most incompatible genres, the addition of physics was a nice touch. Nice work !
This was really fun! I loved the momentum seesaw puzzles. Good job!
Decent little game. Went all the way through to the end. Wasn't sure what the intended solution was for a couple of them so I ended up just brute forcing my way through by constructing little platforms to bypass some stuff. Oh well!
Interesting! I really enjoyed the puzzles, great level design work !
Fun concept. The more realistic physics adds a bunch of crazy interactions! :)
Reall creative puzzles. The controls worked very well and the levels didn't bug out ever. It was a bit strange with the physics interaction if you are dragging a companion. I didn't really like the sound effects, and I think they could be improved upon. Even add more when unlocking and locking parts of the level, just to create a more immersive experience.
Great entry! See you in the next Jam!
Well executed concept with nice puzzles and level design. Keep up the good work :)
@Travis Spuller thx for the feedback. Sound design is something I still have to learn.
Great level design, I have spent more time on this game than others but i dont really know how the 2 genres are mixed.
So this is Portal vs. physics puzzler? :-)
This is a REALLY cool game! Very interesting, entertaining and challenging puzzles.
Graphics and sound are OK, they convey enough information to know what to do and solve the puzzles, so even though you clearly focussed on level design and physics, the graphics are nice little programmer art.
I know what you try to do in that level where you have to kill all your companion (TM) crates but it does not really work like in Portal :-) You are not immersed enough in this and although you took the heart icon and put it on your boxes, we get the reference but not the feeling ;-)
I think I might have cheated my way through the final level and may have been able to cheat other levels as well. In the last level I just put one box under me and lifted myself up to the goal. Was that intended? Are these other crates just there to confuse you? That would be a really fun idea :-)
Great game, keep up the good work, I am now following you so I can check out what your next games will be :-)
One of the better puzzle games I've played this compo. A lot of the puzzles were really neat, although I simply built a ladder on the very last one.
I like the music, although the jump sound effect is a little out of place.
On the title screen, the character is scaled bilinearly (or something), which looks a little strange.
Sometimes the game would lag spike for a second, which was a little strange, but didn't affect the overall gameplay.
Oooh, it's a physics game mixed with a platformer, I love that combo! Maybe you should create a prototype where you don't have to switch to the platforming part, but can do the platforming all the time when messing with the blocks. I am sure you could create lots of puzzles that way.
Wow! You made a great game! I love the puzzle mixed with physics and platform game.
The level design is clever and I think you worked well on it, it is enjoyable to be able to play many levels from a compo game.
This is a good job, I understand you are proud of it as your best LD entry!
A great entry that's a lot of fun to play. With a little more polish I could see this being fully released game. The order of levels seems counter to the actual complexity of the mechanics you introduce, at times, but overall I thought you introduced mechanics in a steady enough stream to keep things interesting.
Great design. Looking forward to your next jam entry :D
Hahaha! Brilliant game! Usually not a big fan of puzzle games, but this one really got me =D
I like puzzles, and this mix with a plateformer is not really common (I mean : multiple ways are used to mix those genres, but I din't see this one a lot). It was fun to discover the rules that are not in the tutorial, and how to use them wisely. Good job !
@gonutz thanks for your feedback. The last level wasn't intended to get solved this way. But a friend of mine used the same strategie. Picking up the player could be a new way to solve puzzle I will implement this! :)
@TheMonsterFromTheDeep Thank you for the feedback. The title screen was created in the last hour and I was running out of time. So yeah it's just upscaled with gimp! Shame on me :)
@fox-in-sox That's a great idea. I don't know why I didn't had the idea during the jam. I will make such a prototype! :)
@loonydrope Thank you. It makes me happy to read your comment! :)
@Mastersmith98 Thank you. I tried to introduce new things in a steady form and show the player without a tutorial, what he has to do. I had more ideas, but the time was running away. So I polished the game the most i could and did't implement new things. I hope I can join the next jam! :)
@Tommislav Thanks for your comment. This comment makes me proud.
