You have to get used to the movement mechanics, but once you do it is a pretty fun game! Sometimes it is a bit annoying when you have to wait 10 seconds because you can only progress with the other character, but I guess that is actually more a problem of the theme :smile: The challenge at the end to align the characters at the door was cool!
Thank you for your feedback! Of course the level design and the metrics of the physics should be tweaked a bit ^^' The double jump helps though. I think it's part of the fun to sometimes wait for the other character ;-) Anyway I'll try to improve this on my spare time.
Very nice little game, I really appreciated it, and spent way more time I thought on it :) Very nice submission, keep it up!
Great game! Good concept and fully realized. Can't say to much about it. I got frustrated when I realized that both players needed to be at the exit simultaneously and hat to fit on the screen at once, but that doesn't effect how good of a game this is :D
Well done! This game did a fantastic job of working with the theme given; however, in doing so well with the theme, the game lost me to a degree when I would have to wait 10 seconds every now and then. The puzzles were enticing though as I played the game to the end. The best part of the whole experience was probably the music and how it implemented the concept of the game into something less abstract. Once again, well done :)
Good concept, simple but very addictive. Pico8 is the perfect tool for this. Well done
Frustrating at times but well made and cool concept
Thanks! Still going on providing some update for the future of this. @glove: "the game lost me to a degree when I would have to wait 10 seconds every now and then" > I agree I think there's something to do about that in the game/level design :-) Cheers!
I struggled a bit in the begin the controls but once I got the hang of it it was really fun to play I couldn't stop until I beat the game, really enjoyed it keep it up !
Really fun simple game @chevre, especially for a compo. Simple concept and mechanics, but I enjoyed it! I finished it (I wonder if you have to time both guys to stand on the tombstone at the same time - if so, I got lucky!). My only criticism would be that the collisions might be a little unforgiving on some of the corners, so when you jump/double jump and manage to hit a corner, it bumps you to the other direction, making it a bit frustrating. More levels would also be appreciated. Overall fun game, nice job and thanks again for playing mine!
Simple mechanics and simple aesthetics, I loved it! Well done! :)
WohoO! Nice work. I really liked the clean and well designed pixel art. :)
What a great little game! I really enjoyed playing it. It was very cute, very fun, and very challenging! :laughing: The camera sometimes felt a bit unfair, since you couldn't see where you were going, I guess that was in order to keep what was coming ahead in the level more of a mystery? It worked, I was really surprised when the slimes showed up!
Very good entry. I encountered two bugs: - At the end one of the character died when I jumped close to the very last wall when I was walking to the right. - The game finished while one of the character wasn't touching the door. There was around 1 "door width" of space from one of the characters.
Great revealing of a topic when you have nothing to offer to add or take away. I wouldn't say I don't play a lot of indie games, but this is the first time I've seen active use of repulsion mechanics. In your project everything looks concise, the theme is more than disclosed, the visual and sound design succinctly organically fit into the gameplay. Everything is in its place, the level design is impeccable. An excellent example of when you can deepen one game mechanic in the project, rather than multiply a lot of unnecessary ones. This jam showed how many interesting and versatile ideas can emerge and I hope you'll continue to make this project after the jam to see it in the future on Steam or another store. Good luck!
Thank you again for your feedbacks! I really appreciate that. @hellsquirrel @thebmxeur : I'm indeed try to continue that thing on my time. I have actually fixed several bugs, tweak a bit the controller and the level design. I'm also building a new level :-) Hopefully I will be able to finish that soon... Cheers guyz and good luck to you too!
That was really fun!! I loved the mechanic and just having to time everything so that you get to where you want without accidentally having to go all the way back. The biggest challenge was just timing everything so that both characters were on the door! xD
I love pico-8 games. This one turned out to be very interesting. This trading mechanic is super smart and challenging. I already see this game published and with more stages.
Congratulations
Cool use of theme, solid graphics/aesthetics. Decent enough music. It was a bit frustrating sometimes having to wait until you manage to catch up one fellow with the other, but that's more of a limitation of the theme. All in all, fun game.
Very cute little pico-8 game! I don't think I've seen another game like this in the jam, so well done on your innovation! Really nice job overall
Work in progress guys swapply_lvl3.gif
