  • Story for the game is heartwarming, I love the WALLE inspiration. Gameplay is fun, potentially could have enabled ranger to un-platform to eliminate some of the redundancy (having to navigate him back). Levels were cleverly designed especially considering the time constraint! Visuals were clear, cohesive, and charming, ranger is so cute! Soundtrack fit perfectly for what I would expect in the game. The game is super complete and polished, I think you could have gone even wackier with rangers capabilities to elevate to the next level, but still super impressive work! --- This game was incredibly polished, I'm super impressed by how complete it felt. Really great work! --- 34/40

That was really sweet and sad. It a fun puzzle game and that last level gave me a good head-scratcher. The connection theme is really present and the game overall is pretty great. I did find a bug where if you spawn Ranger while facing a wall he's just glitched into it but summing him back fixes it. Other than that great work! Keep it up!

I really like your pixel art, and your puzzle design is really fun and intuitive! My only gripe is maybe you could show a portrait somewhere on the screen showing which character is active, I just forgot who I was controlling sometimes. Overall, great work! :D

I really like your game especially the level design. I like how the levels are arranged from easy to hard and how you introduce the new mechanics. This is a well-polished game for such a short time. One suggestion would be I wish there are more connections between Sibyl and Ranger, like stepping on a button to open a new space for Ranger to go in. Sometimes the gravity trigger seems to break their collaboration a little bit. Also, I noticed if you let Ranger turn to a platform next to Sibyl, Sibyl can get stuck on the platform. I don't know if that's a bug or a feature, just to let you know. Overall I really like your game, there are a lot of great concepts!

I'm a real sucker for games that have you control 2 characters at once, so I already love this. Difficulty progression was clean, especially parts where you have to maneuver mid-air while gravity is being changed—real nice.

I think my only gripe was with some of the hazard designs? Ok maybe it's just me, but it was weird that Ranger could pass through electrical wires, since it is a robot lol

This game was a lot of fun, and I thought the drone mechanics were really good. My only critique is that I think the drone losing battery was a bit of a useless mechanic. I never really felt like it did more than make me wait a few seconds before using it. I feel like it could be a really cool mechanic if maybe you had a lot more charge, but it didn't come back outside of little recharge stations, or something like that. Otherwise, still a really nice game that I enjoyed playing.
