Cute concept and story, with nice art to match :)

Vertical platformers aren't too common so it was a nice change to see one, along with responsive jumping mechanics and physics (the mushroom bounces were very satisfying haha). As others have mentioned the sound was very quiet, even turning my speakers up all the way I couldn't hear much unfortunately, but it's a minor issue in the grand scheme of things. A well made entry for the jam, nice work :)

I love the art.. is really cute and beautiful. I've very much enjoyed the gameplay too . Hoping around on mushrooms was a very pleasant experience! Cool job <3 

Submitted

Everything is polished and perfect. Great Entry.

Thank you for playing and reviewing!

Were glad to hear that you enjoyed the game and thank you for your feedback!

I was confused about how mushroom man was supposed to ever make it up. It seemed like he needed leaf lady's help for every jump. The game was zoomed out too far but the art was really nice and the intro was a really great touch!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing and reviewing!

As said in the short tutorial, Mushroom Man can double jump and you can buy upgrades in the shop (like more jumps etc.) to make it easier- especially if you play alone as both characters. We hope that you still enjoyed playing it! Thank you for your feedback.

Gorgeous art, especially the cutscenes! I didn't realize at first that it was a vertical jumping game and left mushroom man on the ground. I agree with what some others are saying, in that the sound could be balanced a bit better. Bring the music up and the jump sound effects down. But overall, great job guys!

Developer

Thank you for playing and reviweing our game!

We will definetly work on the sound balancing soon. Thank you for your feedback!

Lovely game! Beautiful graphics and great control response. I manage to reach the top, but only with Leaf Lady... poor Mushroom Man :(

Amazing work. Congratulations!

Edit: tried again with my daughter, but she ended falling several times :(
Still a great experience for 2 players.

Thank you so much for playing and reviewing!
We´re so glad to hear that you (and you daugther, which by the way means the world to us) enjoyed playing it! Thank you again for the feedback! We will continue working on this game and its difficulty soon.

Submitted

Beautiful art! the resolution seemed slightly off on my monitor though, maybe just me! Love the lighting and other effects too. I found the controls a little difficult, my left brain was fighting my right brain xD Great work for the jam!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and reviewing!

We´re glad that you enjoyed the game and will work on the difficulty soon.

Submitted

Loved the art and the twist of a kinda classic concept! The sound design was pretty weak but the overall aesthetics save the game! I appreciate the work on the shadows and the jumping animations too! Great idea, pretty fun execution!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and reviewing our game!

Did you find the sound design disturbing or just not that good?  We hope you still enjoyed the game!

Submitted

No, the only problem is that the jumping sound is too intense and loud.. The thing is that it gets too repeatable since you jump a lot in this game so it's the only sound you hear in a way. Despite that, i really enjoyed it!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for the feedback! We will totally work on that soon!

Submitted

Liked it! The art was charming and cute. The movement felt a bit off and I think the camera could be closer to really capture the characters. Good work!

Developer

Thank you very much vor playing and for your feedback!

What exactly does feel off about the movement?  Would be very nice, if you told us, to make it easier for us to work on this issue :)

Submitted

so nice art!

Submitted

I really like the art, mood and the story :) The music suits really well. It's hard to beat the game solo with both of the characters :D I should bring a friend next time. Well done!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and reviewing our game!

The game ist best to play together, but we hope you still enjoyed playing it alone!

Submitted

Hi n.n I really liked the theme of the game. The artwork was just amazing and the mechanics felt pretty good. 

It was a little bit difficult for me to control the Mushroom guy, because he didn´t jump that high and because I got confused controlling the two characters. That doesn't mean that your game wasn't well designed, but maybe that I'm not such a good player after all (hehe)


Overall, great game. Congratulations n.n

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and reviewing our game!

We´re happy to her that after all you enjoyed playing it. We´ll be working on the difficulty soon.

Submitted

As far as the theme goes, maybe I didn't get far enough, but it felt like playing as a single character was just as easy as having 2. Maybe add some more mechanics that make it hard to go it alone?

But that's really my only critique. I am kind of blown away by the beautiful art, lighting, animations. The controls feel really good. And it's really fun to play with 2 people. I would also highly recommend full-screen mode.

Developer (1 edit)

First of all, thank you so much for playing and reviewing the game!

We will work on the difficulty and other mechanics soon. What exactly do you mean with ,,adding Full-Screen``?
Besides, we really appreciate all of your feedback!

Submitted

Oh, sorry. I wasn't very clear. I just meant that for anyone wanting to play, I would recommend they use full-screen mode.

Submitted

Beatiful art, but a little difficult to control. Good entry!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and reviewing the game! 

We will work on the controls soon.

Developer

And would you be so nice and tell us what was difficult, to help us improve? :)

Submitted(+1)

Awesome artwork, controls feel quite good as well. It is a bit difficult to control both players at the same time (if playing by yourself) but not too bad once you strategize a bit, admittedly still haven't reached the end with both yet but want to try again later. If this game goes farther, maybe you could use one character to unlock certain areas that the other can't get to - right now it feels less like they need to work together to reach the destination. But really great work overall!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and reviewing!

We´re so happy to hear, that you enjoy playing it! We really like your idea of having certain areas that only one character can unlock etc., might implement them soon!

Submitted

The art in this game is really beautiful! The characters are great and the backgrounds are gorgeous. 

Developer

Thank you very much!

Submitted

the art is stunning~ the character design is really adorable! 

the game itself was fun, but hard to understand. it was hard reading the story at the beginning (maybe a different font would  work better? ) so I jumped straight to the game without any background story.. 

the background looks good! I wasn't sure what was the point of the store at the beginning? 
can you return to it? 

regarding the theme.. I'm not sure that other than having 2 players there's any connection to 'stronger together'. I mean you have 2 wonderful characters but every time I played I kept losing one of them along the way and just continued without him.. is there any  reason to have 2 instead of one? >.< are there some level you need the two of them in order to pass? I died a lot maybe I just didn't get enough progress to discover it...

overall it was fun~ great work! 

Developer

Thank you for playing and reviewing the game!

As said below, we will work on the font and respawning both characters.

What do you mean by ´´hard to understand´´? Was it hard to understand the story or the gameplay?

About the store: you have three tries, so if you die, you respawn and get another chance. You can use your respawn to buy something in the shop. That being said, you can use your tries to collect money and buy upgrades in the shop, so it will be easier for you to reach the top and get the best ending.  

Talking about the best ending. The theme represents itself in a lot of different mechanics, but also in the story.

In order to kill enemies, both characters have to jump on them. The characters have to work together to make their way home become easier (as told in the story),

Thank you for the constructive critisism.

Submitted

I didn't see the previous comments sorry if I repeated something that was already said >.<

what was hard to understand was the connection to the theme. I assumed you explained it with the narrative but i couldn't understand .. 
oh I didn't notice that once I spawn I went straight back to try and jump up xD need to try that strategy. 

is this meant to be played as single player? if so making both characters land on the same enemy at the same moment will be hard... but it could be a lot of fun trying to play with a friend! 

Developer

We thought of three main ways to play (we are trying to emphasize them better soon). You can either play alone with one character, leaving the second one on the ground. this makes it easier to control, but you can´t kill enemies (both players have to jump on them once, but not at the same time), or you try reaching the top with both players alone, achieving the best ending.

But our recommended way would be to play it with a friend, but we know that this is not possible for everybody. That´s why you can still win if only one character reaches the treetop.

But, still, thank you very much for your feedback

The strongest piece in this game is art, the gameplay is fun too but as been said below, it's sad that characters don't resurrect separately. The criticism would be that the music is too simple and not mixed properly, also, i couldn't read story at the beginning, the fonts are drowning in backround too much.  Here is my rating.

Developer

Thank you for playing and reviewing!

As said below, our idea was that in order to receive the best ending, you must survive with both characters. 

We totally get your music criticism though. We still hope that the music somewhat fits and doesn't disturb the game.  

We will work on the fonts soon since the story is important for a better understanding of the game.

Submitted

Really amazing graphics !!! My only problem is that once you lose one character there is no way of getting them back.

Developer

Thank you for playing and reviewing! 

Our idea was, that in order to get the best ending, you have to survive with both characters.  If it keeps bugging players, we will work on this though.
