Nice!!!!!!!Really good game experience
Super nice graphism! I do have some problem to jump but it's due to my lake of skill. Nice one. Congratz!!
Hello. Your project is amazing with a big amount of work on the aesthetic. Colors are gorgeous and mechanics work well as expected. I really appreciate this strange experience - but cutie. However it seems to me that the gameplay is a little bit frustrating after a while because it is totally unusual. Playing with two characters in the same time, it is not always easy. I tried some movement or strategy, but often it doesn't work. Sometimes, it is too aleatory. Overall, you did a good game and you can be proud of it. Just think about the gameplay. I assume that many will love it, when others will hate ++
PS : I have no audio ???
thanks a lot ，we have audio,but web mode it will mute default,there is a mute button on buttom in web ,un click it and you will get audio
Good job, we had quite some fun playing with my boyfriend :D Nice graphism and music!
@caca thanks a lot~~ glad you like this game
@geckoo1337 thanks a lot ~ we have audio a lot,but this web mode will mute as default, but you can unclick mute button in web buttom,this bug we having some trouble to fix ps: we design two character for two players, so there are be more fun play this with your friend,thanks a lot anyway
Really cool game! I love the concept, and swinging from the roof alternating between the two feels really good.
Super cool game! Super cute graphics, nice atmosphere and fun to play. Good job!
Very nice game! I was surprised at how many mechanics there were. I particularly enjoyed the bomb, and the grey smoky cubes. Those were fun.
The jumping controls felt a bit awkward, but that might just be because I was playing one character with each hand.
The music was very soothing, and the characters were cute. I wish they faced the camera sometimes so I could see their faces...
Wow, it's utterly beautiful. The music is great too. Very fun on the whole. The basic idea of the gameplay is a good one. We had a little trouble understanding the "holding" mechanism (but eventually we figured it out). We also had a habit of our little characters not quite going the way we were asking them to. My wife got sore fingers but I told her that's her fault for not playing enough games.
I suggest that you add to the description that this is for 2 players.
@divford yeah ,facing camera is a good idea,we wish to have more time to do some cute animations ,and we design even more mechanics but we choose some funny one to make, anyway ,glad you like this game
@reheated that is right, we will add more tips for two players,glad you like this game
I really liked the graphics and the idea
The controls felt a bit clunky and I also felt that there should be a more clear indication that you need to drop down, because if I don't see a platform from where I'm standing I'm gonna think there's nothing there
so you could either bring the platform higher up so you can see it or kind of create a trail down with the cubes or coins or something
I still really liked it though!
really cool game. I loved the graphics and audio so much :) It was really challenging and fun. well done.
Visually appealing and nice background music. Initially loved the split control idea, but perhaps some more player guidance/easing them into how to master jumping & grabbing would make it more enjoyable as I feel I got stuck very quickly.
Great lovely game and really cute.
I could just say: "not good ,not bad :smile:" like you gave me, but I think I'll give some actual commentary instead. :smile_cat:
The good: - Graphics are really well done. Although most of the platforms look like they're pretty simple geometry, there is some variety and it's not just the same cube 800,000 times as you play. The characters are adorable as well. - Sound effects and music fit the atmosphere/mood of the game really well, although I did find the end of the music piece to be a bit abrupt. Also not sure why web mode mutes audio by default, but I saw that in an earlier comment, so I assume it was just a Unity thing.
The not as good: - Controls seemed a bit clunky for me (although I was trying to play both characters myself, not sure if this is supposed to be 2 players or nah?) Sometimes even if I pressed "jump" for both sides at exactly the same moment, only one would jump and the other would just stand there. It seems like there is also a cooldown on how fast you can jump, but this isn't indicated anywhere, which could possibly be helpful as well. - The game mechanic of being tied together is cute, but I've seen it quite a few other times now (Red Rope, Rite of Ilk, Fling to the Finish, and some others) Still, your rope mechanics seem to work pretty well, giving a bit of freedom to not be forced 100% in the same direction, and even offering some springiness to the rope between the characters. However, I still at times noticed some weird physics glitches happening where (without pressing the "hold" button, one of the characters would get stuck on a floor/ceiling or on occasion just float a bit next to the other one, like standing on each others' head, except there was a gap between them so they're just floating mid-air until someone moves). Again, probably just a quirk of Unity's physics, because I could do the exact same controls and it only happened like, 5% of the time
Overall: - This is a pretty solid entry and I enjoyed playing it. With a bit more polish, I could see this turning into a pretty fun game, although I think if it's marketed as 2 player it could be way more entertaining when one player tries to go one way and the other wants to go a completely different direction. A really solid entry and a fun little game!
Hey! Cool idea for a game! I like design of the main characters. I've noticed the music is turned off by default, it should be the other way around:) especially it's a nice music to hear! The controls could be little bit tweaked but I kinda like it. It's more challenging this way! I had a lot of fun playing it! Great work!
The idea is quite amazing, and the visuals are nice. Reminds me of Unrawel Two and I appreciate that! Controls did feel a bit clunky, as I could not jump quite often for some reason, and then at other times the jump would just work fine. AS if controlling one character would lock jumping to that one, and I'd have to press jump multiple times to have it back on the other one. Overall, a nice little game!
Nice cute game. Interesting mechanics. I like all the extra vines and roots in the background. The audio didn't work for me. I managed to glitch through some of the platforms, with one character pulling the other through. The spot near the end you have to swing along the ceiling was annoying as the items were not perfectly spaced, requireing going back many times. I missed four in total.
i love the graphics and character design! i think the wall cling mechanic is cool, found myself wishing i could "double jump" with one on top of the other.
The physics are so cool, very fun to fling the characters with the water blocks. Great concept, great execution, super cute! Thanks for the game.
@sakura-magika yeah! double jump seems like a great idea, we can adds this in ou game ,thanks for your idea :smile:
@someone missed only four? you are awesome :smirk: the audio problem seems a big problem for us , It is unity web mode auto mute at first time ,and we need some time to fix this , and the items not perfectly ,we know this problem :smile: my cooworks remind me this problem and I said "this is no time for fix this" anyway ,it seems a alot of works to do now , thanks a lot :smile:
@dawnscream the jump problem seems like a script bug ,yeat we did not know how to fixed that :smile: seems like a update/fixedUpdate problem, Yeah we love Unrawel Two , we get some ideas from this game , glad you like this game :smile:
@filgru yeah , the music will auto mute by default, and seems we need some time to fix this problem , glad you like this game :smile:
@rubixnoob13 LOL ! I remember the "not good not bad" I said about your game :smile: seems that come back for me :smile: 1, jump problem is sure a bug ,seems like we need some time to fix this in script ,there is no CD in jump button,just a bug :smirk: 2, rope float is also a bug ,when the rope length eaquals max length ,seems we caculate the force we should add to characters , maybe the force direction is not correct , I will check that (PS: we know this bug ,but we think there are no others will find this ,you are the first one) 3 It is sure will publish as two players game , and we will find some games as reference ; thanks a lot :smile:
Really cool concept! Good job.
Loved it, was pretty damn funny <3
The opening was fantastic! I immediately brought my wife over so we could try to play together. We didn't do very well. :D The mechanics were a bit tough to figure out, but the potential of this game, the characters, and their little world is huge. Love it!
Fun game with an interesting twist! Liked the artwork and the colour-theme, also really liked the audio as-well (until I read in the comments how to enable it :smile: ).
I also found the controls a bit wonky, and I don't think I can blame all of it on me sucking. :wink: The level-design could also be improved, e.g. already from the start it was difficult to know where you should be heading as you couldn't see so far down. Maybe an arrow that points the way or something..? But I'm sure this is because lack of time and not having enough time to design the levels.
Congrats on making a great game! The comments are only nit-picking since the game is already so well made. :smile:
@rolle Glad you like this game :smirk: yeah,I admit the controls is wonky cus we dont have much exprence in making characters control;arrow points is a good idea ; those advise are nice , and we will spent time improving this game :smile:
@ted @luddegodofpain @zimny11 Glad you gays like this game :smile: :smile: :smile:
Congratulations on the game, I stopped by to say that they did a great job, the mechanics are not new once I played something similar in the X-box, but it was a big player tied to a small one, and one was clearing the way for the other to pass , you gave the character a lot of life, a big hug to the whole team.
Was really fun, though the jumping felt like it didn't work half of the time. Very cool mechanics though, nice job
Really interesting game.
@treeboater @pxldev @etrealjunior thank you guys :smile: makes me fell so happy in making games
Really fun concept! I wish I had played this with another person - I imagine that's where the gameplay really shines.
The first time that I grabbed onto the ceiling and swung with the second player was a really cool experience.
I think a nice feature would have been the ability to "piggy-back" on one player, so that you only had to control one character at a time during certain segments. It would have made the "mundane" platforming sections a lot less frustrating.
Great work!
Great entry. The mechanic is very well achieved. Good Job!
It's super fun but you really need to play it with someone else to enjoy it! Too bad there is no music! The art is awesome. One of the most fun games in this jam so far! :)
The art is gorgeous and it was really fun to play with my friend !
Gameplay is well done and graphics are so good.
the logic how to move the players is quite amazing. Graphics looks good too. Looks a little bit too much work for 3 day jam, even if unity provides most of the mechanisms ready to be used. There's still so much details that actually work right. Sounds like you didn't sleep at all during the jam?
This game reminded me of the Unravel game. This game has great graphics and is designed for two players. Unfortunately, sometimes I did not understand at all what I needed to do to collect all the orange dots. It would be nice to add a little tutorial to the game like in Unravel game mentioned above
