Nice concept. Had a bit of trouble with space bar being swap, kept wanting to jump with it xD

Submitted

This game was a lot of fun! Interesting implementation of the theme and assigning an ability to the orange cube adds another dimension of gameplay to consider. Well done!

Submitted

Super cute. Well done of your first jam!

Submitted

Nice game, short and sweet. The levels made for the jam show the potential for additional puzzles and hope you make more after the jam to explore the ideas presented in the game further.

For a game jam, I think the number of levels you had was just fine. You could easily expand upon this in the future if you wanted to.

I did get an interesting bug on one of the levels where I died and moved really fast and then both cubes appeared on top of each other. It was actually kinda cool! Maybe have a level or two where the cubes can interact in the same area and affect each other's progress?

I like the colored water idea, kinda shakes things up beyond just "two players controlled together". Would be cool to see other color-based obstacles and maybe a special move for our blue boi?

No need to apologise at the end, I think the concept is neat. I do resent having to use only my left hand for all the controls in some of the levels but this one was fun.

I love those kind of puzzle games!

Solid mechanics! If you ever do come back to this project I hope you add an ability on to the blue cube, to really ramp up the finger pretzels.

So sad there's so few levels, a lot of fun and a pretty well polished game ! Very good idea

Btw, I liked the fact that all the levels were based on the same model (more or less the same room each time ahah)

Submitted

Nice, simple game with minimalistic and clear graphics. A little too short. I liked how it was teaching me mechanics each level :)

Nice game. I liked the mix of using combos and puzzling.

Submitted

A little bit confused by the space bar (not used for jump) but great game !

Submitted

Great game! Love the originality of the idea and simple mechanics that lead to cool combos of moves on tricky puzzles. Great lighting and sound effects.

It seems to still be a bit buggy (jumped out of the map with my blue guy once) but other than that has great potential!

Submitted

Good game, as other said it is a little short. I enjoyed it and the graphics were really good with suitable sound effects to match. I found the space bar being switch and not jump very confusing, but it isnt really a problem. 

Short and simple, but very well made so far, felt very smooth and polished. Great work!

Submitted

The swapping and exploding were added a surprising amount to that kind of game! I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but when the player dies blocks that were blown up don't respawn. Other than that though it was a nice polished experience!

Submitted

Short but sweet. Pretty polished. I really liked the jump->swap->explode->swap combo.

Submitted

Very cool, mechanic is easy to understand and I had a lot of fun puzzling out the last level
