First of all amazing art and sprite work :o I love when changing characters they do a select sound so cute :D I espacily loved the 4th levels design it is really clever. Using the turtle like a shield is so cool.
My only problem is the difficulty spikes becouse of them i had to skip 2 levels :/
Other than i had fun with this game great work :D
the cute artstyle makes you think you're in for a cakewalk but completing this little game is no easy feat! that said the puzzles are impeccably designed and i had a great time with this one. I hope to see this one in the top 20!
great art and great concept too
It's a quite interesting game! The twist is very interesting, and the mechanics introduced was really good!
Cute art desing, smart two-way connection and smooth gameplay. Some levels felt too short and without any obstacles. I managed to escape from the aquarium few times. Overall no flaws.
The sound effects hit different, they were so cute and fit the art so well that it made me want to keep playing despite my constant deaths, great game!
What a unique take on the theme! In your game, the "joined together" concept actually makes sense with the characters! Very cool and creative.
Whoa! This is a cool idea and the art is super cool. I love the goofy sfx as well. Really nice job!
I couldn't figure out level 4 or 9, but I really like what you've got here. I think with some better conveyance about what you can / can't do, and a more obvious way of telling which character you are controlling would make this even better. Definitely could see it as a full game :D
[spoilers] You can have Timmy stick ON TOP of Olly :P
I thought you were only able to attach the turtle under the octopus. Once I found out that you could do it the other way around too: game changer! Some of the puzzles were too hard, tho. I believe I had to skip Level 3 to get done with the game. Aside from that, good work on this project and implementation of the theme!
Super cool! It did take me some time to get used to the players jumping after separating from each other, but once I realized that was used for some puzzles as well, I enjoyed it!
Great Game, really liked the way you implemented the theme!
Awsome!
This is a great puzzle platformer, really like the varied ways that the two characters interact, the fact they can combine in more than one way, used for traversal, as platforms, etc... Had quite a bit of fun and it'd be cool to see it expanded upon. Nice work!
Art is simple and clean :) Certain things could have been a bit better
Ohhhh, that's a turtle?? I thought it was a super powered sea cucumber!
The level design/difficulty seems a little inconsistent, but all are manageable and individually interesting. Perhaps they can just be re-arranged? Really small nitpick though. This game played great, had fun mechanics, and looked very nice! Good job to everyone!
LOL
I think you're actually right, I might have been thinking of a sea cucumber but I just didn't register it hahaha
The way the art thought process went was: they need a way of looking like they can walk on spikes (regular legs wouldn't cut it, wavy slime it is!) -> they need to look strong and like a platform (give 'em a good ol' turtle shell) -> wait how do we combine these things (we.. just.. do???)
And then a teammate called it a turtle and it stuck ahaha
It's Olly the Octopus and Timmy the OH GOD WHAT IS THAT UNHOLY THING
really nice well polished game, reminds me of thomas was alone
Really fun game! A bit hard to get used to the control but the gameplay is cool! 👍
This is a fun game with nice art and level design! Good job! I just wish you made underwater music, that would've been great!
Interesting concept. cute nice art. puzzle are fun and even a bit tricky.
Good job :)
