Loved the penguins and enjoyed to switch just after a jump to maximize the distance between them but I would have liked controls to feel a bit more responsive maybe!

I thought the music was quite nice, would like to see it more developed! I found the characters quite slow to control so it would be nicer if they were quicker to move. Maybe having the tether become thinner as you stretch it further would be nice?

Cool work - I especially like the character art!

Loved the penguin's animations, really lovely. I also would prefer if the controls were a little bit faster, but I still liked the idea!

Character animation is really cool !

I wish the game was a little bit more "nervous" and "fast" but the overall is cool ;)

Good concept, needs some work. I think that starting with a level just focusing on platforming is smart as it lets the player get used to the swap controls. The later mechanics were really interesting and give loads of room for expansion. Unfortunatly even ignoring the known issues with the doors there are many ways to sot lock the game which is a shame. It would also be nice to have some user feedback about how long the rope can get as when trying to judge jumps it can be frustrating not knowing if you have the distance to make it or not. 

i enjoyed playing this, some great ideas here that could easily be fleshed out. Well done

I wish I got to see more of it but I ran into issues with all of the doors and figuring out the platforming. I played in stream, the vod is up at http://bit.ly/bean-stream

Thanks for playing, I'm really annoyed that I didn't realise the level restart was what breaks all the doors. I don't think you missed much really, but I'm glad you liked my level at least lol (level 3).
