In what way does your game fit the theme?
The squares must work together in order to complete challenegs
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code and drew all the pictures, the sound was from Incomputech.

This is a really cool small puzzler with a cool main focus. It would be great to expand this with some more levels, but it is a very solid game!

Freed by FriendshipWhat I liked:
- Music
- Art
- Theme connection
What I didn't like:
- Controls (jumps) were very floaty
- Jump wasn't on Spacebar :( (Personal preference)
- Character Cycle wasn't on mouse scroll wheel. I feel like it would have made things much more smooth.
- No numbers above the head (since we don't know which num corresponds to each color)
- However, the ability to click on them to select would have been nice
- Colors of buttons were definitely messed up, (yellow guy on red button needed to open something)
Overall, with all the UX issues fixed, controls worked out, this could be a nice little game to publish! Nice job.

Junk SlamThank you for the feedback!
I think the scroll wheel would have been better for the character switcher but that would have required a lot more work so decided to put it off until after the jam. People have mentioned the buttons before too. I didn't think it was that big of a deal but apparently I was wrong. I do like the idea of being able to click the characters. I'll need to rewrite the switcher script because a lot of people recommended I fix that.
I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
Simple but fun little puzzle game, I really liked the simple graphisms and the Music.

Pinkye and Blues : Stronger TogetherThis was a fun little ride. The game is pretty simple but still enjoyable and engaging. The required mechanics are nicely introduced and I can see the premise being polished up and expanded upon, to make a fully-fledged game.
I'm glad I spent a couple minutes on your game, keep up the good work :)

Twin Ship ShooterThe music feels nice, the levels are pretty easy to be honest. The players do interact with each other so it would be better if some levels use this as a mechanism.
Nice job.

LightTrailI wasn't able to play it, unfortunately. What system did you use for input? Legacy or new input system?
Submitted
Already DeadThat's the old system, although technically the new one is still an optional package. The reason I ask is because almost every Unity game I play that I have to download is pretty much unplayable because the horizontal axis is constantly pushed to the left, resulting in characters always moving left, etc. There's so far only one game on here that I found that worked and I wonder if they used the new system instead. I highly recommend learning about it. Here's the videos I used to learn to use it myself for this jam:
Brackeys Controller Input (also works for keyboard and mouse)
There's also Brackey's original video about it, but it's from when it was an experimental release, so a lot of what he says is not 100% accurate anymore: https://youtu.be/Pzd8NhcRzVo
I would love to play your game but im on MacOS maybe next time you could do both mac and windows if you want

No Fusions Allowedi wish i could play your game but im on MacOS could you make a mac file but its up to you

Don't Fall Back betaThe game has a good concept, and the controls most of the time were responsive. But sometimes the player wouldn't have a way to restart the level, especially on the 2nd one. Having a pause menu would help, and adding more obstacles to make the game harder would make the game a lot better. The music fit the game and was fun to play. Nice work.

Bag-A-WallIt requires a little bit of polish on the movement and the camera.
Anyways, thanks dev. Keep it up
