Change Lives

Beat every level except for 5 (really wasn't sure what to do). Some of the levels were pretty clever. Feels like a physics sandbox rendition of baba is you in a lot of ways.

These are some cool and unique puzzles! Collisions were a bit jittery though, so I was able to jump my way up walls I don't think i were supposed to. I'd rate 10/10 on game title, heh.

lmao well you all definitely thought out your title very thoroughly, so props for that :clap:

I beat the entire game and I have to say, I really enjoyed playing it. It took a bit to understand the idea, but once I did, it was neat seeing all the different ways you could beat a level. Having to lose lives as part of the puzzle felt well integrated into the game and it was very satisfying to beat. I also really liked the use of the bars as a platform and, in later levels, a movable object.

In level 6, I was able to move off screen to the left, and I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, since you basically just get stuck once you go off screen. It's not a huge deal since I can restart, but given that the other levels had walls within the boundaries of the game window, it felt weird that that one level was open ended. I have to say, I really liked the solution to this level. It was really creative.

The graphics are adorable, and the palette is pleasant to look at. While it's cool that you see the tail of the coin as it moves left or right, I have to say, it didn't make a whole lot of sense why the coin would suddenly turn its back to you as you move? It's a small nitpick; I just found it quirky is all. :stuck_out_tongue:

Overall, I finished the game feeling satisfied that I played it. Nice job. :grin:

I am so glad I found this game! I read the title description and thought "I HAVE to play this." The concept was one of the most clever I have seen, and the levels do a great job of introducing new mechanics. I liked that level 4 misleads you into thinking you need to manipulate power to jump up from the right, when it's more of a back and forth. I also enjoyed the levels where you have to counter-intuitively get hurt as well.

Some feedback : I wish there were walking and picking up animations for your character, rather than put the animation efforts into the animated tail on the back of the coin. Both those animations can help with reading the gameplay better. The hitboxes felt a little off, and I was also able to solve several of the levels by wall-jumping unintentionally. Physics could be tweaked some more too.

Overall, great concept, well done!

great mechanic but the game was missing sound and music.

Its a nice game, but the lack of music and sound effects i think drives away from the mood. Overall though, nice job!!

i wasn't sure what to do at times, but experimenting with the controls made it pretty easy to get a hang of things. some of the levels just required me not to be afraid of taking damage, and others required a creative distribution of stats. overall really creative levels and fun game!

I like that you played around with different interesting ideas for a puzzle/platform game. The game feels a bit unfinished, but what I have seen was pretty fun. Overall a good LD game.

This matches the theme wonderfully with the characters as well as mechanics, which by the way the mechanics are astounding, the physical use of bars as platforms and a way to change the world around you? Absolutely amazing! This could honestly become a full on game with a bit of polish. There is a noticeable lack of sound of any sort which could go a long way to make the game feel better, but overall this is a really great concept, great job!
