Nice job! I thought ZQSD controls took a while to get used to because I kept defaulting to WASD. The other thing is sometimes when I switch back to the other characters, they're not the ones engaged in the puzzle, so it'd be nice to have more simultaneous puzzles to switch back and forth from. The characters look cute though!
Loved the art-style but couldn't get my head around the ZQSD controls. so often would I spend extra seconds making sure which one was which as I defaulted to WASD but despite that the game itself is lovely. I have since learnt that I assume it's because you are French, but I would advise perhaps having a controller change option for people with qwerty keyboards. I loved the 2D character art and the 3D models faces.
As previously mentioned, the controls are pretty tricky to get used to. I found out the arrow keys also worked, so that was a saving grace. Very nice art style, very chill vibes - could definitely see this expand more. Well done!
I never really figured out the controlls. i couldnt see how to grab my buddy so i couldnt get past the games first hurdle. WASD didn't work so I had to use the arrow keys. I think the art style is very cool. a nice mix of 2d & 3d. The concepts of controlling two different characters that gets switched between to solve puzzles is really interesting, but I feel like the 10 second rule unfortunately makes this unnesecarily tedious. I would continue developing this game if i were you, but just ditch the timer for a full release. solid game overall :)
Cute art style and nice graphics. The controls were very confusing like other people have pointed out already and it was a bit tricky getting some of the jumps right like that, which made missing a jump and having to start over a bit frustrating. Overall charming game. I especially liked the look of the characters.
Very nice art ! It is a very good use of the theme !
The game is well polished and the switching players every 10 seconds is a really fun take on the theme.
The art in this game looks amazing, love the personality of the characters and the cutscene/tutorial images! Not having WASD was not a deal-breaker for me but I suggest adding at least an option in the future (well, sorry for not having an option for ZQSD in my game either, I'll make sure to have it next time!). The level design was nice, but a bit punishing at points so there can be a lot of waiting to get back to where you were. Overall, very solid whole, great work! Also the movement feels very nice with a controller and I really appreciate the inclusion of the platforming shadow for aligning jumps!
Nice game !
Very nice concept! And looks so sweet <3
Art style is very nice, great job in such a short amount of time! I really like the gang, officially a Mochi-head!
The concept works quite nicely, I really like these types of *co-op with myself* games, although I think it's easy to waste full cycles if you do a single mistake, having to wait 10 seconds doing nothing isn't that fun. Maybe if you could select which character to swap to at the 10 second mark, when all three characters are present?
I also felt very punished having to restart the entire level every time I fell in the water, would be nice with either checkpoints, or just putting the player back on safe ground, since the levels are quite long because of the timer and switching characters.
Great job overall!
Love the character designs and how the characters are 2d in a 3d world. I'm not sure the mechanic of switching between them every 10 seconds works very well, or maybe the level design didn't fit it. Quite often, especially after you rescure the third chracter, I had to wait for the full 10 seconds without really doing anything because I first had to pull a lever with another character. Maybe if the level design made it so no matter where you were even if you had to wait for something you had something to do then it would have been better.
But this can easily happen during a game jam because of the lack of time to properly flesh out the interesting mechanics and it's hard to switch to something else once you have already started. So overall I think this game is still quite impressive :)
it was a really cool game, good job!
Great game. Love the art style and the music fits well. I could imagine it being a great coop-game, because you basically already build a solid singleplayer coop-game. As the others already mentioned, the controls are very hard for everyone using QWERTZ / QWERTY keyboards. Also, having no savepoints was very punishing.
Cute game! I thought that the lantern mechanic was a smart idea!
Cute game, I liked the stylised graphics and the catchy audio. Slightly confusing about where I was supposed to be going, and got frustrating that sometimes I couldn't go back the way I came for no apparent reason. A solid effort. Well done.
Solid concept, good level design, cute graphics. Just thought the perspective + 2d characters made it a bit hard to judge depth and jump correctly in places. Aside from that it's a pretty good entry!
Really nice stylized graphics....
I love the graphics - the tutorial images are super cute! - but I'm not a huge fan of the gameplay. Like others have said, it can get annoying having to wait a full 10 seconds when that character isn't part of the puzzle. I also got frustrated a couple of times when time ran up while I was still moving and it sent the other character into the water
I really loved the art and the gameplay was fun to match. Great entry!
I like this game for interesting gameplay and level-design, but i can't comlete all games beacause of lags(
