Ranked from 103 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
One has not enough strength to open the heavy door that leads to the path forward. While bringing both explorers is much harder, attempting to reach the end alone is impossible.

This puzzle platformer was developed with the theme "Stronger Together". The goal is to get through the big heavy door, but you need both explorers to push the door in order to get through to the next level. Sounds simple, it's not :)

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code myself - I used the asset pack Pixel Adventures for art.

Real attention to detail on this with how well polished it is. Great game.

Nice game !

This game is awesome! It's obvious that a ton of algorithm juice went into it :) I'm also stuck on level 10

That's just so well polished, it's crazy for a jam game! So much fun to play.

Just one criticism... how can you use the pixelfrog artwork and not take that cute angry ninja frog as the main character ;)

 

I'm stuck at level 10. The precision required for certain things are a bit annoying but still a good game and maybe you could add small hints if you want to continue developing the game.

Developer

I made lvl 10 a bit easier but I can't upload the new version until the jam is over :(

Well yeah the submission time is over, but you can still make it better and put in your itch.io page as "MindLoop updated version" or some thing like that hope you are doing great! :D

It looks like an almost finished project, which is very rare for a game jam.

I also made a puzzle game, and I realized how difficult it is to come up with interesting levels.

Really polished! One of my favorites so far probably. Everything feels quite nice. Maybe the jumps are a bit unnecessarily hard, but i guess that has to be done to ensure only one player can cross them if they are near each other. I got stuck on level 10. Wasnt sure how to get one player up and the other across the wide jump. ^^

Since it is a jam, it may be a good idea to just unlock all levels since when somebody gets stuck they can still try the rest.

Developer

Thank you! :D I made level 10 a little easier but I can't upload the new version until the Jam voting is over :(

Fantastic idea and very good level design. A well polished game! I'm now stucked at lv 6 or 7? Cant find a way out :D

The best Jam Games I have played so far in this JAM!

Submitted

Enjoyed playing, something different but cool!

Submitted(+1)

Very good one! It feels quite polished and the art is great. I have to say the levels were quite repetitive at some point (and I think one of them is literally twice? maybe I'm wrong haha, number 3 or 4...), I would love to see more varied level design, but keeping the simplistic mechanic about positioning the characters with precision. Very cool one, congrats on the game and your YouTube channel, and I wish you the best with Punch A Bunch! Cheers!

This was really fun and well made, congrats on the level design, I got stuck on level 10. Cheers

Developer

Oh noo haha yes, level 10 is a bit tricky :)

Submitted(+1)

Frankly mindbending, with a level of polish and ingenuity I wouldn't expect from a weeks' worth of work. There's so much content here, and the puzzles are devious without being unfair. The solutions don't present themselves immediately, but the levels and mechanics are presented in such a way that you're given more than enough to 'go on', and the satisfaction at both figuring out and then executing a solution is brilliant.

Excellent job.

Developer(+1)

Come on Em! You can do it! What level did you get stuck at?

Submitted(+1)

i got stuck at level 5 but i'm trying to get past is rn, i'll let you know if i beat it

Submitted

well i beat it, as you may already have seen in the comments of your tweet, the main thing i take away from it is that the jumps are way too precice to be great fun, it's still fun but it's way too hard.
