Great little platformer!  Confusing start with the pause screen, and a couple of the sprites don't deactivate after boss battles, but a great start, looking forward to where you take this!

• Audio is a bit too loud

• I’m not a personal fan of the art but it all looks very cohesive which is great

• Music is good, no complaints there (although I’m not exactly good with sound design so take that with a grain of salt)

• I didn’t grab a screenshot in time but when the dialogue starts the player’s gravity temporarily freezes which looks a bit weird (they float)

• I was a bit confused at first (I prefer to not look at the itch.io description unless I have to)

• I can’t really put my finger on it but something seems off about the shooting animation. It feels as if one of the frames might be duplicated

• I love the idea of taking an enemy’s abilities and using it as your own. It reminds me of one of the old Skylanders games lol. I’m surprised I haven’t seen this before in this jam

• Enemy AI is great. They actually feel somewhat intelligent and they’re each like their own little boss fight

• The game is very unforgiving since there are no checkpoints

• The sky is quite empty. Maybe some clouds could make it more interesting?

• I got stuck here as the blue turtle guy (going invisible again fixes it though)

• A pretty good entry!

Very cool idea! Any criticism i could have given you has already been said. great art design and loved the animations! fun helicopter too :D

I really like this! Each of the characters feel very different and have different uses so it's very easy to tell which ones to use, the disadvantages and advantages were also pretty nice, like only being able to use the minigun on the ground or not being able to jump with the turtle while also having higher horizontal movement. The animations and characters were cute and I wasn't expecting the final boss at all haha. I have a a few things to improve the game though

-The background was just a solid colour so it was a little boring, maybe a few clouds or a background sprite can help with this problem

-It gets a little tedious to have to replay the entire game because you died, maybe a few checkpoints could help?

Overall, very fun game. The movement was solid and the game was fun to play. I liked the balancing for characters and they were pretty cute

Very cool game! I really liked how all the characters have different abilities, the sunglasses and minigun  for the first character was hilarious! As said by others, I think a few control prompts would have been good, but at least you displayed them on the itch page. Nicely done!

Really really cool game ! I think we had a similar concept in this jam but you really pulled that off nicely ! The mechanics are well thought and the game balance is really good ! But it's hard when you can't heal at all :p

I got hard to find the controls but nice game!! 

Good Metroidvania(ish) game. I wish you could switch between characters using the number keys or the scroll wheel though. Also 10/10 for the Dani reference lol.

really great game! i thought the characters were cute and the theme was on point. definitely enjoyed it. my only issue was restarting from the very beginning with every death! i almost beat the boss i was stuck on but couldnt quite manage it in the end

Really great assets! Love the gameplay! It was rly smooth and the mechanics are wonderful! ;) left a great rating!

Really fun game and one of the best uses of the theme so far. The different abilities really give the game some variety and the characters are cute. I would increase the move speed a little and add checkpoints. Also add some background to make things look more interesting.

I had to go back to the itch.io page a few times to read the controls but once I got the grip of it I had a lot of fun! Great game, and the art is awesome! :D

Loved it.

There could be a guide because i almost thought that there was just 1 turtle fight and thats it. I did not know how to play. Main menu and some clouds would be really nice. Good job!

Really cool game with good art work to back it up. The music is good but does get a tad repetitive after a while, having the game open up on a title screen with a start, controls, how to play and quit button would be nicer then just immediately starting the game in my opinion.

I also do wish the game would ease the player into how to play a little more, maybe with pop up dialogue from a narrator when meeting the turtle on how to shoot, jump and move and when the turtle dies you could introduce how to swap characters through pop-up dialogue. Overall though it is a really cool interesting take on the theme though. Good job.

Really cool concept, love how all the individual characters play and gel together. Could use an in game tutorial and i would buff movement speed and add checkpoints after every character but i love the art and i generally think this is a really solid submission 

Nice 2D pixel art. Love the music. Movement felt responsible.

-m&r

Really fun! The concept of switching characters in real time is a great interpretation of the theme, and each character was useful for either combat or traversal in their own way. On top of that, I felt that the controls were really responsive as well. The terrain is a bit monotonous, though, and it would benefit from some different looking platforms (but it's a game jam, so I get it). 

Great work! :)

Agree wholeheartedly with Peacock games, or regaining some hearts along the way (say when you gain an ally) would make this experience better. I found myself losing most of my hearts from the invisible man

This game is really fun but if it just had checkpoints then I could actually try and beat it. Oh and the Danicopter caught me off guard XD
