This is amazing game!!! great job!!! this is so simple and fun

There are some nice puzzles and some really good polish! Great job! I would suggest making it a bit clearer on how to swap characters; I couldn't figure out the keybind for it so I used my mouse. Otherwise, great job!

It would be awesome if you could rate my game too!

the artstyle felt megaman inspired, which I like. The puzzles are great!

Developer

Megaman IS my favorite video game franchise of all time!

Great visuals and cool concept with swapping characters! Good job!

Cool idea! Well made assets.

As mentioned, took me a minute to figure out how to switch characters but very fun from there. I liked the differences in character mechanics and the sound effects.

This was really nice and pleasant. Very simple idea well executed. I liked that I can feel the robots personality even without any narrative. Good job.

Game was really fun, and posed just enough of a challenge, especially as I reached the later levels! The keybind for swapping characters should be more clear, as I could not figure it out and had to just press buttons on my keyboard because I thought it was the backspace button.

Developer

Yeah that was me being a little blind lol. I ended up having very little time to work on the game that when I was scrambling through the key icons I was like “that’s enter right?” And just threw it in there lol

Really clever puzzle game! I like that the characters have their own abilities. The last part of level 6 was hard to figure out which is the perfect way to end a puzzle game. You should change the icon for swapping characters - it looks like Backspace but is Enter. Also I expected the teleporter to actually teleport the character and was confused when it didn't. It should be more clear that both characters have to stand in the teleporters.

I really enjoyed this one. The level design was excellent and the mechanics fit the theme well.

It's really fun and cute, plays like a flash game. Very cool =)

Awesome project!

Wow, best game I played so far!

Good game with pretty impact. I think a one screen multiplayer mode could add more fun.

Developer

Yes! First I gotta learn how to do multiplayer haha, but I absolutely agree

Submitted(+1)

Good concept, very nicely put together!

My small critiques are:

  • The control explanation was slightly confusing (it took a few tries to figure out that the "swap" button was Enter, and using Spacebar to jump wasn't listed anywhere)
  • There was a bug where switching quickly in succession could lock the camera on one while the other is in control
Developer(+1)

Ah good catch! I never really worked with multiple cameras before, so I’m kinda surprised the camera switching worked at all lol. I’ll keep that in mind for next time.

Also, I completely forgot to add the space bar to the controls. oops haha

Love the game! Really well executed, lot's of content, every level had this small a-ha moment of discovering something. The only thing that felt painful to me is when I got into "reset" state, where I need to start from the beginning.

Very cute game with great execution!
Rom-Ba is pretty scary when scaled up!

Welp I tried to figure it out for a few minutes but gave up. Put the little guy in the teleporter, nothing happened, pressed e a bunch, moved him around the teleporter pressing e, brought the big robot over, more e, tried using the robot guy and pressing e on the little guy, using the little guy and pressing e on the robot, restarting and refreshing in case I was in a bugged state, but I basically never even started the first level I guess lol. 

Developer

now the way you described sounds like you hadn’t tried putting each of them in different teleporters at the same time?

(1 edit)

Is there a jump mechanic? I'm pretty sure I tried spacebar and other buttons to try to jump up but couldn't get either character to the top teleporter. Lemme know and I'll give it another shot later!

That's why I was trying to press e on each of the characters next to each other. I was guessing, maybe the big robot throws the little guy or something?

Developer

Yeah the little guy can jump with space, but the big guy can’t jump
