Fun game! I liked the mechanic concept and feel there is so much room for puzzle variety with it. The mini plot was fun and left some intrigue. There were definitely some awkward collision issues with the platforms where I couldn't crawl over a small hump that I probably should have been with the "creature." I also think using buttons to switch might have been a bit more natural then having to click the different characters you could take over, but it was pretty minimal. Decent sound design and ambience!  Good work!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! It's really helpful. I'm aware of the collision issues, but I thought that I fixed all of them. I'll look for them and upload a fixed version today. The button idea is pretty interesting; can you explain it a bit more? Do you mean that users should be able to switch by directly clicking on characters? Or is it about reducing the number of buttons?

Developer

Oh, I think I got it. You're talking about binding character switching to the keyboard buttons, right? It's a pretty cool idea! I'm not sure if such changes are allowed after submission or not, but if they are, I'll add it.

yeah, that! I THINK that would be within the rules of the post-submission parameters, but I would definitely double check with someone before doing it lol

Developer

Yep, the owner said that it's fine. Added :)

Nice mechanic of controlling other charachter, Im very bad at puzzle games but having a level selection screen made so I could skip the ones I was stucked at. Simple but distinct artsyle aswell, good job !

Thanks for playing and for the feedback! The levels are indeed quite difficult, maybe even too difficult... We believed it would be nice to challenge players at every level, for that feeling of satisfaction when they finally figure it out, but maybe we went a bit too far :D

I love this game it's so unique and interesting. I enjoyed how you made a puzzle game have a storyline and the goofy explosions when you complete each level made me laugh. I also really like your level selection screen and the ability to drag and move through it!

Thanks for playing! Making realistic explosions with only 2 colors available turned out pretty tough xD Glad you liked it :)
