Tag me in a comment on here if you upload a newer version, I'll give it a playthrough then. good job so far.

Honestly, I love how you have everyone on a different set of controls and yet, still playable by one person. I can't wait to see what you all do with this one. I like the music the first few times around, but maybe switch it up or give the ability to turn it down. Soundfx would be a great addition to this. I would love to hear what each different creature sounds.

Even though you didn't finish, you've earned my respect for using Rust in a game jam. 🙇

the idea is there, but like you said, it's unfinished. would be interesting to see a finished product

This puzzle-platformer idea with multiple characters is good, now I find that the current controls are a bit frustrating, especially the fact that the kids cannot change direction until they touch a trampoline or hit a wall.

With more work on the visual feedback, and maybe by adjusting the walking speeds I reckon it could become more comfortable. But I think the game would work better with a more classic scheme of walking with the arrows and switching characters with special keys.

The art is quite intriguing, to me it looks like it mixes... [Commander Keen 1](https://www.google.com/search?q=commander+keen+1&client=firefox-b-ab&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjNrZ2jwJDfAhUO6RoKHQ8JDacQ_AUIDigB&biw=1104&bih=860) with... maybe Tim Burton? ^^ Anyway the current version lacks consistency a bit but the choices are interesting.

Great music btw!

I like the concept a lot and the music was great! Controls were a bit hard tho

The characters portraits really set the mood right from the start :) Overall it was a good experience, would like to see the finished version!
