Fun but would be much better if you add support for arrow key movement and change the action keys to something more normal
I wish the keyboard controls were different. Like arrow keys + other buttons.
I love this game!! Can't seem to beat level 10 yet, but this game is so fun and challenging.
this is the exact same music as shogun showdown
anybody know how to do level 5?
(P.S I love the carrying animation of the two astronaut things in my mind its bl green top and blue bottom :3)
For those who don't know how to solve level 6: YOU CAN CARRY CHARACTERS WHO ARE HOLDING BOXES.
Finished the game and will say it was (mainly due switching characters due to tasks with the only real hard part being aiming and the parkcore at the end.
7/10 good game
Good puzzle game. A few bugs or concerns: there is no coyote time for jumping, and you would think the lift was weight presurred if there are 2 boxes on top of each other they don't register the weight. I know you are using box collider, but you can solve this issue with a raycast
Very cute! I really liked the mechanic of switching back and forth between the two characters, and I got excited when I discovered I could lift and throw my friend. I liked how that mechanic wasn't explicitly explained!
My main feedback is on the choice of controls - I kept wanting to use Tab to swap between characters, since I'm used to Alt+Tab (Or Cmd+Tab on MacOS) as a shortcut for switching between windows. So "Tab" means "switch" in my muscle memory, and as a result I unintentionally reset the level quite a few times, which was a bit frustrating.
Also - the platforms had what felt like a small "slope" near their edges, such that if I got too close, I would lose grip and slide off the platform. (Or, maybe the character's hitbox is a sphere?). This led to me slipping and falling a few times when trying to set up precise jumps. It felt like the visual cue of where the platform ended was a little inaccurate/misleading.
Anyway - great work! Nitpicks aside, I liked it a lot.
This is a pretty neat game!
Some of the puzzles were a bit easy (Level #8 I believe is mostly just a rehash of an earlier puzzle) but overall these were pretty good puzzles.
One thing I would mention is that the lasers are a bit unclear at times. It's possible to figure out which direction the laser is coming from using the particle at the end, but adding a visible "emitter" at the source would make them more intuitive.
Thank you for playing the game and taking the time to give some feedback!
this is very yes
So good!
i have played 3-4 games on here with this soundtrack lol
Is there an offline version?
zaaaaagggyyy you did it well , NICE NICE NICE i love it <3
This is so smooth and fun
Thanks so much for playing & the feedback!
Pretty neat ngl!! Very, very cool.
I KEEP PRESSING TAB ON ACCIDENT PLEASE CHANGE THE RESET TO SOMETHING ELSE
sweet!
I love this game so much, especially how simple it is yet fun although I wish the characters were slightly bigger in size.
Thank you for playing and for the feedback!
Great game man, like it so much!
Thanks so much for giving it a try
Made it all the way! Very fun game, a bit challenging but I enjoyed the puzzles. I was trying some complicated method to get past level 5, I think it was, but then I realized I was able to grab and throw the other player which made it 100 times easier xD
Only thing I'd recommend is making it so that this game can be played with another person. It's already somewhat "two players," just one player controls two characters. Maybe the other character could move with arrow keys, and clicking the "c" would switch their controls? I don't wanna assume it's easy to add this, there could definitely be new ways to cheat if you can move both players at once, but it'd be nice if it was possible to play with two players.
That aside, pretty fun game! I love it.
Hi Thanks for the feedback!
Originally it was created as a 2 player game but I switched it to one player can control both characters due to some bugs when developing and complaints about the controls. I would like to include that back in at some point- the ability to play as one player controlling both characters
OR
as 2 different players each controlling their own character.
I got stuck at level 6 i will try again some other day lmao
I would greatly appreciate it if you could allow me to control my characters with the arrows. I am having a hard time controlling my player with two or more fingers from the same hand
Believe it or not but I got stuck on level 2 and didn't continue :(, esc exits full screen so kind of annoying
This was the same experience I had. Characters got stuck on one another, resetting the level a few times somehow got them both permanently stuck jumping while clipping into the ground
I believe that issue should be resolved!
I would be very appreciative if you try it out again and let me know whether or not you have the same experience!
Tbh I had a bad time with lvl 2 as well bc I kept getting stuck on a lot of things on it, please fix level 2
I changed the level 2 design- give it another try?
I removed the pause functionality because it seemingly broke the game!
I would be very appreciative if you would try it out again and let me know whether or not the experience is improved
I found some kind of bug where when you hold the other character and press esc, the menu doesn't pop up and you can't move left or right on either character unless you restart the level.
this should be resolved in the current build. I removed the esc/pause function
Pretty cool game, but I think I ended up cheesing the last two levels with some tricks like grabbing a box right after jumping off the ground. Was there a point to the sideways switch in the last level? I ended up skipping it entirely.
I do see what you mean about the sideways switch in the last level.. I'll have to take another look at that level now. Any way you can show me exactly how you "cheesed" the last two levels? I can send you my discord if you're willing.
also, thanks for playing and giving feedback. I really appreciate it
I screenshotted that feedback and I appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time!!
Hey- it has been a while! I would be appreciative if you gave the game another try! I made some adjustments based on your feedback. I'm curious if its still breakable.
Cool game. I like how both players can pickup/throw each other to reach greater heights
hey, thank you for giving it a try!
really cool !! very adicting I had a great time didn´t go further then the 3 level
Thanks man! I appreciate the support as always.
