Nice game, I really like the animations and jump feel, sometimes I found myself lost and repeat some parts over and over,  maybe a way to distinguish de areas would be nice. Great work!

Really cool game, really nice graphics but some music wouldn't go a miss. Good game overall :)

Very good! but my first time i got stuck after picking the hearth. the platform asked for 4 chars but i had only three.

Super cute! congratulations!

Nice. I love the squishy effect, it was fun to just spam s on the blue guy.

I really enjoyed this game (I just love Metroidvanias). I think it would've been cool if you hid secrets everywhere, as it encourages exploration. I felt that the camera was too low, I think I would've preferred a higher camera with the option to look down. The game was also missing audio. Audio can add a lot to a game, so having anything at all would've probably been nice. Finally, I had trouble distinguishing many of the areas, causing me to go in a few loops around the world every time I needed to find the next object.

This is a great game, nicely done!

I liked the squash and stretch animation on the characters. the Star guy was a cool too.

The animations were really satisfying!

Cute little game. I kept wondering what the ability of the main star character would be. Well done.

I have already said this on the game page but I'll copy and paste it here just in case: I really liked the game! It's sweet, simple, and to-the-point. I agree with Sander Vanhove, the squish animation makes the jumping very satisfying and NivMizzer deserves more praise than what I can give. My favorite characters was the heart, and the hexagon! Continue to make more NivMizzer!

Great concept, nice stretching animations!
Adding some audio would be nice. Sometimes the other characters just instantly teleport to you and it's seems a little bit weird. Anyway nice job!

I like the squishy animations and character design! Reminds me of a game I loved growing up called Snood! Sound and the ability to cycle backwards through the characters would have been nice. Great work though!

Cool game, the metroidvania aspect of exploring with the characters special feature is nicely done. Keep up the good work!

Overall a pretty decent game. The theme is matched and it's a complete game with cool mechanics. I wish there was audio and also more color. But other than that good job!

Pretty unique idea! wish there were some bgm

Very interesting and innovative!

A really cute take on the theme. I love how the characters have their own unique features and skills. Some simple sfx when you jump or get a new friend would really make it feel more alive and fast-paced. Maybe adding some speed would also make the player more motivated in finding friends. Nice work!

The characters' design is so unique and innovative. Good job.

Really great animations, the world is a little big but the rest is well done.

I couldnt find the friend to pass through the red block. But i think this game needs some polishing. The squishy animations are nice, the characters with unique abilities too (My game also have that) but the movement its a little bit off. The ideia is good and the animations are ok, but it needs audio and some polishing in general.

If you have some time, go check my game too: https://porthogamesbr.itch.io/three-little-friends
