Very nice game! The controls made me rage every time i lost maybe make it so the jumping goes higher if you keep pressing?  It was definitely a very hard game but it was still fun.

Thank you for playing! I agree, the first thing I’ll do is improve the controls if I expand the game

Good game, I like the idea of controlling 2 things on the screen trying to avoid obstacles

I assume the mother is green square and the children are the 2 brown squares, but in some levels some green squares kill me, which i didnt get.

The jump mechanic could also use some work.

Thank you for the feedback! 

The larger rectangle is the mother, the smaller squares are the children. The idea is that the level resets if the mother enters a green gate before all the children, though I appreciate that this was communicated poorly.

Great concept, and great execution. The platforming feels pretty good, and it only took me a few seconds to get a natural feel for how the children operate.

Amazing work.

this is honestly a really fun little platformer, i can respect the graphics given you had much less time than most people participating. I am very pleasantly surprised with how fluid  and natural the platforming feels, doesnt mean that the levels were not difficult though hahaha! The concept is very original and fits the theme nicely id say, with the children copying the input of the mother, with a delay. im interested to know if the level where you have to get the mother and 3/4 other shildren safely from the top platforms has multiple solutions, i chose to fall directly down and snake my way between platforms until i hit the ground.

Thanks so much, I appreciate you  playing!

There are two or three solutions to that level,  though they're all fairly inelegant.

thats fun to know, i just looked at the chaos there and just said "nah" and tried to speedrun the level until i managed to find something that worked. Awesome game man, would be fun to see more levels
