Interesting idea :)

Neat usage of multiple characters to add more depth. I think the puzzle mechanics might not be getting reset correctly because I managed to get in and out of a seemingly-unwinnable state by resetting while standing on a button. Faster movement might help a bit with the game feel, as sometimes you see a solution and it takes an unsatisfyingly long time to execute it.

@plusonerabbit movement speed has been adjusted :3

Quite an enjoyable puzzle game. I like the use of each character's unique abilities, which adds interest and strategy to solving the problems. Despite some moments with the mechanics, I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and visual style!

Nice, it reminds me of the "The Lost Vikings" from SNES, where we had to move each character at time. nice concept!

I love the voice acting in this game, really adds to the vibe :). The gameplay is a nice idea and executed well. I think the game could have benefitted from static cameras instead of following the chosen toblin - but thats a minor nitpick. I liked how the Toblins each also have a personality and it shows with their animations :D

Very nice little game, always loved the Lost Vikings vibe ! Well done !

Love how each character is full of personality which the art and the voice acting really help to sell. Some music would have helped build more of an atmosphere. Encountered a few bugs around switches remaining pressed after a reset, hitting buttons from below, and one bug where pushing a box onto Kort clips him into the platform geometry. A solid puzzle platformer overall, good job!

Very charming game. I love puzzle platformers, and this game satisfied that part of me that used to play flash games all the time. I also encountered a bug that forced me to reset (box landed on Kort) but I had a good time. I also love that all of the characters made their own sound effects, it was very charming! Stor is my fav of the Trio! Great work!

Nice little game, I like the character design and the idea of the game!

Love the characters! I like how each had a unique voice along with gameplay power. It was a cool start of the game but I got stuck really early on! I tried resetting and the same thing happened again so I'm just not sure how to get past the first checkpoint. I enjoyed what I played though :) nice work

I was taken by surprise when I started the game and heard the characters' voices. For a moment, I felt a bit schizophrenic, but then it turned out to be very funny.

Even though the red and green toblins were chubby (since the yellow one kept telling them they were heavy), I managed to progress through the map until something terrible happened: a cube fell on me and glitched the character, forcing me to restart everything.

Luckily, I pressed R and got saved from the wall. It was nice to have that option. After that, everything started working fine, and although the last puzzle required a lot of coordination, it wasn't too difficult. It would have been great to have some background music, but it's not a big issue. Once again, the detail of including the voices was very entertaining, I loved that!

Good job, I'd like to see a post-jam version. Here's my final pose:

Cool concept and a fun puzzle game! well done! really enjoyed the characters and the voices and sounds! :D

jhonny111 2024-10-13 18:21

Nice little Puzzle game. Loved the voices. Also i managed to clip out of bounds by boxing a box toward the little green one standing at a wall.

utopia 2024-10-14 06:39

"Hello, Hello, Hello, you're so heavy" lmao I can't stop laughing all the way, the voice is so humor somehow and the concept/mechanics is great.

andriana-mantidfly 2024-10-18 08:48

It's a very cool game, but there are bugs, like knocking a green goblin into walls through a punch

weirdbitgames 2024-10-21 15:19

This is SOOO good! So inventive! I know how hard puzzles games are to make, coming up with problems and solutions and all of that. I gotta say the sprites are gorgeous and my favourite part by far is the voice acting, it really brings the whole game to life!

I managed to dumb myself into a softlock 'cos I'm a special kind of goblin myself haha!

chuchugeralt 2024-10-21 21:24

Nice game! Really reminded me of the The Lost Vikings, even though your characters are cuter! Before I moved the characters, i thought i would awfully miss some background music, but the voiceovers were great! Really did like that every charater felt unique.

yancharkin 2024-10-21 21:30

Cool graphics and sound, solid game mechanics! I think you should definitely make a full game out of this: add more levels and music. And, of course, fix glitches and bugs; during my short play session, the poor toblins got stuck inside walls more than once.

pauln 2024-10-21 21:33

This game was great! I enjoyed the learning curve of switching between the characters to get through the puzzles, which was then rewarded with the last one requiring quick timing and coordination. Super cute art/clear sprites. I think the atmosphere would benefit a lot from some sort of background sound or music, while toning down the voice lines a bit (less frequency or possible overlap), but they were very endearing and funny :)

jcourt 2024-10-22 07:30

This was really good! I thought the 3 different abilities were good, and used pretty well with all the puzzles. It did take me a little while to figure out that 3 can throw the others, not some object that just hadn't shown up yet, but that's a minor thing. "walk", "crawl", "land", etc was funny, and the art looks nice and feels cohesive.

blay09 2024-10-22 13:03

Fun puzzle platformer. The different kinds of voiceovers for the characters were pretty cute and funny ("ugh you're heavy!!").

hawkin 2024-10-24 19:11

I really loved the character and ingenuity of this three-way control puzzle! The voice acting was very endearing and comical, and the pixel animations were really well done. Very expressive!

I must admit that, even after reading that Stor could throw, I didn't remember in game. Both Kort and Lagom and visual indicators of their ability (crouching and punching), but Stor didn't appear to do anything when I pressed F. So I was very confused until I went back and read the game page again. I think Stor should attempt to grab any time the player presses "F", even if there is nothing there :)

Otherwise, this was a very fun puzzle! Well done!

I should also report that I managed to squash Kort into the ground by Lagom punching the block onto him. This locked him in the floor XD
