I was a little confused at first, but when i found out how to play i found it very creative, i think this is the idea of ​​the game. Congratulations!

Love this entry! The art looks really great and it sounds good too. The concept is also super unique! I love the little touches on this one like the little graphic showing that they're talking or the arrow / AD key icons next to the players. Really polished!

Only played the first few levels yet because my brain is dead but this looks pretty fun and I'm allready in love with the two character. :slight_smile:

The art here is amazing, and the core mechanics feel great, after getting a hang of the controls. Great job!

Me encanta este juego. Me encanta el pequeño azul. El tipo púrpura podría perder algo de peso. En general es un juego de estrategia muy divertido y atractivo. Buen trabajo.

Originial mechanics and great implementation.

Nice puzzle platforming game. Easy to understand and to play.

I really dig the art style ! The concept in itself is not new, but some mechanics really kept my attention, especially the idea of being able to compress or make the smaller one jump. I find that the level design is cool, but the levels could have more checkpoint or have a bit less steps, as it is easy to make a mistake. It is quite frustrating to fail at the last step because of inattention, when it is not the harderst part of the map, but you have to redo everything again. But it's only nitpicking, great job and great game !

Amazing! The characters are so cute! I love how much polish you put into the game (like the character's animations and sound effects.) The puzzles were fun though I found them more of an execution challenge than an actual puzzle (at first it was easy to hit the wrong key or move a little too far.) Having more of the level visible would actually help with planning what moves you want to make to solve the puzzle rather than just doing whatever the only next possible move is. It was a great idea to control each character with just 2 keys and show them on screen at all times, since it would have been way harder to control otherwise.

Strong vibes of "Thomas was alone". Nice puzzle-game, loved the sound effects ; I can't get enough of the *boing* sound 😁

Simple but effective mechanics. Cute design and story. I like it!

If it was LD47 they would be called Stuck and Loop ;D

guardianmad 2021-04-27 00:29

This is what i love. cute little friendship adventure time, and the puzzles are so good.

flaquero 2021-04-27 00:38

Even with simple graphics and mechanics you achieved something great with this game, puzzles are really good

zuhairghias 2021-04-27 01:50

Very creative idea. I love it. Awesome submission!

seng-yong 2021-04-27 04:37

a really completed for a game developed in 3 days definitely a game that can put into full development

weirdybeardyman 2021-04-27 22:17

Very cute enjoyable and challenging puzzle game. I love the atmosphere, the nice SFX and the way that the blue guy squishes.

cg-fred 2021-04-28 08:06

Super cute and super awesome game! Getting a lot of Thomas was alone vibes when playing this game which is great. Well done!

This game is a perfect execution in every aspect. The mechanics are very clever and each level comes with a new interesting challenge. The graphics, sounds and story creates a mood which create attachment to characters.

The little point of enhancement I can see is to reduce slightly the sensibility of the death zone, I think at the level with two platforms and a slope at the right, the purple death zone on the bottom of the platforms will instant kill the green player if it touch the side (left or right) of a platform, so the zone kills even if you touch it at 90°.

You can imagine that if this is the only flaw I see, this is a very good entry ;-) Congratulations !

I really liked this gameplay, idea. but if the game would not be so hardcore for me it will be perfect

nyanpierre 2021-04-28 22:04

I tested the game with my girlfriend, it was really good, maybe even my favorite game of this jam. The sounds of the characters add a lot to the game, the main mechanics are used very well. The choice of adaptation of the theme is very successful. For me it's a 10/10 You can really be proud!

Nice work you two! The biggest comment from my friend was that this felt perfect as a couch co-op game for two people. He struggles a lot with platformers, so controlling both characters at the same time just didn't jive with his head, but it was still one of the platformers he seemed to enjoy the most out of all the LD games I had him play.

The graphics were great at communicating visually everything that mattered. The use of the theme was similarly solid. The game was fun, though would have been more fun as a two-player game. It felt innovative as a game, not mind-bending but still a unique enough twist on the genre. Its strongest point however was definitely its mood. We didn't make it through the whole game (as my friend wasn't able to get past all the puzzles), but the sense of atmosphere was fantastic. The characters and their narrative back-and-forth was entertaining and also excellent in-game directions/tutorials without feeling like they were directly telling us how to play the game. The main piece that was missing was some kind of background music to accompany the low rumble. Had the game had some kind of dreary, cavernous ambient music it would have been perfect.

Amazing jam! Great graphics and sounds. Loved the mechanics. The way they light the room is beautiful.

One thing, there were places were it was hard to read the purple text.

bauke-regnerus 2021-05-01 11:41

Nice Thomas Was Alone-inspired game with a twist. This would be amazing to play in co-op, as controlling two characters at once is hard by times. The graphics are lovely! Good job.

juliestrator 2021-05-01 12:10

Played it on stream! Really fun puzzles. Very innovative mechanics. Had lots of fun! Good job on creating so many levels! Can totally see myself play the steam version if you guys decide to continue working on it! Also I found the graphics really stylish! GG

2021-05-01 12:23

Very nice puzzle platformer with great mechanics, graphics and sounds!

blaise-ebuth 2021-05-01 15:11

Loved it! Cute, simple and effective. Good graphics and sounds too.

azagaya 2021-05-01 15:30

Excellent game! With simple and really creative mechanics, and awesome levels and dialog! Congratulations!

saltysa 2021-05-01 20:34

I discovered your game on a stream and I'm glad I tried it myself. It looks really pretty and reminded of some puzzle games that are meant to be played in coop. The visuals are really strong while still being super simple. All in all the game looks super professional, like one I could have bought!

mrpouletbzh 2021-05-02 15:26

The concept is genius, exceptionnal game, well done! Could definitely be a great idea to continue working on this game, adding more levels, because the potential is gigantic! The art direction is pretty, and with some music added to it, the sound design would be as great :D

Well done for this entry, was pretty fun to play :D

korfi 2021-05-02 23:49

Fantastic game! I really enjoyed it, nice concept and the puzzles were perfectly balanced in my opinion! The graphics were great, the atmosphere was great and the interaction between Deep and Deeper was great. Good take on the theme!

felo07 2021-05-13 15:29

Im horrible in those kind of games that we have to move two characters at same time! But your game its amazing, the colors, light, very amazing. Graphics are very cute and the sound effects very good. I just missed a music! Great entry, congrats for the game!
