It feels like a rather early version, perhaps a prototype.
The "about" and "how to play" buttons don't work, I actually didn't understand what I'm supposed to do in-game, I tried to figure it out for about 2 minutes and then exited the game.
The game seems to not have sound whatsoever. It's probably a good idea to add some sound, as it will certainly enrich the game.
If you can explain to me what I'm supposed to do in-game, I'd like to give it another go :)
Thank you for being willing to give it another go, with another hour or so it could have been at least a little more polished.
The aim is to control the two characters and collect abilities from the monitors, and use those to reach the end plates to finish each level.
You can swap between characters with "left shift".
You can collect abilites with "E". Each character can only have one ability at a time, if you pick up a new one the old one is replaced.
The Jump ability uses, Space. The Carry ability uses F and G to pick up objects and place them.
You can use that to place the blue object on the scanner to open a door.
And finally the Hover ability uses "C". This did have an associated sound effect to help distinguish it was active.
One bug not fixed for the game jam version means both characters need to touch the same plate to progress.
Game has interesting idea, but also a few bugs: button "how to play" didn't work, if you push buddy it will slide and if you reach the end you don't go to other, i think you have to stay on one, and that's why i couldn't finish one of the levels. Also it would be better add some feedback like sound from picking up ability. All in all, game has interesting idea, but needs a lot of polishing.
Yeah, those were things I noticed/wanted to address, I just didn't have the time to fix them to meet the submission deadline. Thank you for the feedback, it's constructive and will help polish the game up!
that's a yikes for me dawg
