In what way does your game fit the theme?
The player controls 4 characters, each one with his own skills, and they will have to help each other to reach the end of the level (picking up and throwing a friend, carrying a friend the other side of a "river" using the only character that can swim, etc.)

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

So cool! Really fun game :)

Hi, the game is very nicely designed. I am sure the level design are good as well. However... I know this sounds strange but my keyboard, a 122 key model m, has keys uncommonly arranged . Press shift + 1 or up + 1 or up + shift are very difficult on this key board.... So I can't really play it. May you add key binding in the future update if possible, thanks.

Wow, this game is so underrrated! The animations for the flag, the fire, and the player's death are so smooth, I wasn't really expecting that! You should definitely add gifs to your screenshots, it would really help set your game apart since I feel like the moving aspect really helps your style come to life!

I really liked the slime buddy, how slime wasn't lethal but it was still useful to have the slime buddy to deal with it. I wish the other hazards were a bit more like that as well, rather than being lethal to anyone who doesn't match the color.  Like for instance, what if the blue buddy was the only one who could sink in water, and everyone else floated? Or vice versa? And maybe instead of the electricity being a hazard the yellow buddy was the only one who could magnetize to electrical surfaces? I feel like the game's puzzles would be a lot more interesting if there was more distinction between the hazard types rather than them all just being lethal to anyone who doesn't match the color.

I also wish there was an indication in the playing area which slime you are selecting. Could be like an arrow or something over their head. I know it shows in the top left but it's annoying having to move my eyes back and forth. Also, I think it would be more natural for the buddies to be bound to numbers 1-4 rather than it being a cycling system.

Overall really great entry! It was a cool concept that was executed very well visually and gameplay wise

Nice concept and fun gameplay, like the idea of switching four characters!


Level design needs an improvement tho, players can't see that fire is incoming up there, leading to unfair death. But other than that, this is such an underrated game, hope this gets more attention!

really fun game the puzzles actually make you think and the mechanics are exciting i love the fact you can throw your friends, fits the theme really well and its very nicely designed. I couldn't get past the second level with 4 colours though :( I also love that each colour is so distinct makes it easier to know which is which (i'm colour deficient)

Thank you very much! I was worried that people who don't recognize colors couldn't play, so i'm glad it worked!
