In what way does your game fit the theme?
You use team work with your fellow chaps to solve puzzles and complete parkour areas that could not be done alone.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
We wrote all the code but the art is from Synty Studios Polygon Prototype pack and the sound is from FreeSound.Org

Really cool concept.

I really liked the shape shifting mechanic so the characters could work together to solve puzzles.

I really wish you added controls to move left/right, the ability to only do this with a mouse felt very unintuitive.

Also wish when one character die they would not respawn at the beginning of the map as it becomes a little bit annoying to make them join the other characters again.

If you have a chance please provide feedback on my game.

Very well conceived and well implemented.

The shape changing mechanism works pretty well. Unfortunately the camera speed is a little bit too high to me so I can't continue keep playing it.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! Hopefully after the jam and some updates you will come back to play it!

This game is incredible!! 

I feel like if this was playable in browser it would be popping off! I love the open world exploration aspect to this game, it's really fun just going around and collecting gems and trophies, it gave me a Mario Odyssey/ BotW feel! The gameplay mechanic is also genius, it is so well fitted to the open world gameplay to this game.  It was fun trying to stack up chaps and reach higher locations.

A few things that could help the game feel smoother:

- Have a way to teleport all your chaps to your current location, I would often have some chaps i forget to unfreeze and they would be on the other side of the map

- Have a counter showing how many chaps you have

- The freeze, switch and swap shape functions are all pretty close to each other on the keyboard so i kept on pressing the wrong one. I feel like Tab would be more natural for switching chaps and maybe Right Click to freeze the chaps 

- This game needs to have strafing, it made the platforming finicky only being able to walk forwards and backwards

- Some amount of ability to move the camera vertically would be nice, especially since the end goal is a mountain and you can't even look upwards towards it

Overall though, I love this game, it's one of my favorites! I definitely want to come back and try to beat this one

Thanks a lot, much appreciated! We actually have a browser version but didn't build it in time for submission unfortunately!

Again, thanks for the feedback! We are still working on the mechanics so hopefully they will be better next time you play
