In what way does your game fit the theme?
The two characters can combine, and they will become stronger if they are combined together.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All the code was written by me, but the assets were made by o_lobster. Credits in game description.
NOTE: if your character stops moving while playing in-browser, click the fullscreen button and then click the black space, you should be able to move again. Or you can try play the game on my website https://www.david-harrington.co.uk/hooded-brothers.html

The game was really good and polished in general, and I especially loved the artstyle.
The movement was also great, and had of polish, it was super fun to just dash around and stuff.
There's also just a bunch of smaller things that just add a bunch to the game, like the well designed gui, or the level complete screen with the stars and stats.
One minor nitpick I have about the game would probably be the controls, mainly the jump being mapped to Z, but that's just a really small nitpick.
Overall, great game with a lot of polish, well done!
Thanks so much! I'm really glad you liked it and thanks for the feedback. Thanks for playing :D
Very nice one. One of my favorites this jam.
The best thing about this is the movement of the characters. Really nicely polished. The best movement I have seen this jam. Good job on the coding. The art is awesome and consistent. And the sound effects are nice.
Good level design.
Very Noice!
Thanks so much! And thanks for playing, glad you liked it :D
The nicest game I remember I have played yet in this jam! Also created a desktop shortcut hehe :)) also don't forget to play mine :) Rate Fultuming Friends by KrrishCaterpiller for Brackeys Game Jam 2021.1 - itch.io
Haha! Thank you, really glad you liked it :D I'll try and remember to give yours a rate when I can! Thanks for playing :)
This game looked and sounded awesome. And on top of that the game play was super fun and a satisfying challenge. Movement was a little tricky to be precise but I'm sure with more time I could have gotten the hang of it. Really really well done, great job.
Thanks a lot! Really glad you liked it! :D
Cool little game! I must say that you could of given the guys a bit more life, especially for the Jam purpose but well done!

Thanks a lot! It was great watching you play haha. I agree, I think I may have made it a little too hard, but hopefully after the jam ends that can be resolved. Thanks for playing!
I enjoyed this game a lot! The graphics looked nice, the particle FX added a lot, the screen shake was just enough. The puzzles all made sense. The timer mechanic and star rating helps to add a lot of replay value. Overall, I really enjoyed this jam entry!
Thanks so much! Really glad you liked it :D
The art and music for this game were amazing! The game itself was also pretty fun!
Thanks a lot! :D
Awesome art, music and movement. It is very polished game, I am impressed that it was made only in one week! For suggestions I have not much to say. Maybe introducing keys slowly (not showing all of them at once) to the player would be awesome, because I felt like there are too much keys to remember at once, at the beginning I was trying to fight and instead of fighting I constantly end up dashing like mad :D
Also restart animation could way faster.
Thanks a lot! And good suggestion! I didn't have much time left to create a full tutorial, so I ended up just showing a help screen. Thanks for playing though! :D
Really good movement you got there!! And nice art, too. Good job!!
Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed! :D
I love the animations and game fell! it reminds me of celeste in its cute pixelart and juicy effects, and the game idea of combining is cool! but This game really isnt forgiving, you take alot of damadge from everything even after combining, and the fast paced movement is super fun, but it also makes you dash into spikes often.
this game has alot of potential, with a better difficulty curve and more forgiving gameplay it could be amazing!
Good job!
Edit: this is something i also wanted to say, its really good that made it so you could navigate menus with arrow keys instead of mouse, but in the pass level screen it forces you to use the mouse, and it kinda breaks the game flow, but im pretty sure it wasnt intentinonal.
Haha, thanks a lot! Really glad you liked it, thanks for your comments. And yeah, I felt the need to add keyboard navigation to the menus, but I ran out of time to implement it everywhere. Thanks so much for playing though! :D
Pretty nice game. Liked the graphics and stuff but the difficulty increases pretty quickly or maybe im just noob. But good game overall.
Thanks I'm glad you like it! It can be little difficult, but I'm glad you like it. Thanks for playing! :D
No problem
Good game but very hard to win the game
Thanks a lot! And yeah I agree, it can be a little difficult. Thanks for playing!

Great concept! Really liked the idea of the fusion.
Some things to note. I needed a restart hotkey, the button on the screen isn't a good solution because it breaks my flow and I had to reach for the mouse. Also, the "are you sure you want to restart" was just annoying. Of course I want to if I grabbed my mouse for it.
The enemies have a bit too much hp when fighting them not combined. If while combined you kill them easily then it doesn't matter if they have a lot of HP.
But, it was an enjoyable, creative game. good job!
Thanks a lot! And there is a restart hotkey, it should be R. And I 100% agree, not sure why I added a confirmation for the restart haha, I think I will remove in future updates. And yeah, the enemies can be tough! Thanks a lot for playing though, I'm glad you liked it :D
Great platform game!!!!!!
Thanks a lot :D
Simple concept executed nicely! Art and sfx is nice, too!
Attacks have a bit of a delay, and the movement is a bit too fast and slippery. When you die, there is a long pause before the screen fade-out instead of an instant-disappearance. Other than this, a really good and polished game!
Thanks a lot! And thanks for your feedback. I agree, I think the movement can be too fast and slippery, especially when combined. Also the death animation could be a little faster. Thanks for playing!
This feels good to control very good job on that. The art compliments it really nicely too. Clean presentation. Well done
Thanks a lot! Thanks for playing and I'm glad you liked it :D
I love the pixel art its very nice, and the level design is awesome. Great work!
Thanks a lot! Really glad you liked it :D
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked it.
This one should make it top...
Looks and feels good get in theme like so good...
Thanks a lot! :D
i can't rate it cause can't play it. streamed my efforts here
I saw on your stream, thanks for trying to play anyway, appreciate it! That was very odd, I'm not sure why it was a black screen for the download version. And for the browser version, it seems like there is a weird bug that stops you from moving if the game isn't in focus. Try this:
If your character stops moving while playing in-browser, click the fullscreen button and then click the black space, you should be able to move again.
