what is this game made in cause its so good?

Developer(+1)

We used Unity to make it :)

I really enjoyed playing your game... The puzzles are well designed to teach gradually the mechanics... I had a bit of trouble knowing wich cloud had inverted comands, but I got used to it eventually.

Developer

Thank you for your kind words! The controls can sometimes get inverted according to which half appears at which side, and it could get confusing. We’re planning to try to sort that out in the future :)

Submitted

You can just make a different shape for the cloud, that's what I would do.... Example: The cloud animates upwards on the one that goes normally and downwards on the one that goes inverted

Succes!!!

Really cute game! took me a good minute to figure out what was going on but after that the puzzles were really fun to figure out. Nice job!

On a side note, the getting off grid bug others have mentioned scared me a bit the first time it happened since the music just turned into static for some reason. I thought the game is about to turn into some analog horror type thing lol

Edit: One thing that I think would add a lot is an undo mechanic. I had to reset the entire level quite a few times because i did one wrong move by accident. Didn't really matter that much since the puzzles were quite simple, but it would improve user experience a bit, especially if you plan on adding more complex levels

Developer

Thank you very much! Don’t worry, I don’t like horror games at all so you won’t be expecting any unexpected horror from us haha!

You’re absolutely right about the undo mechanic and it was on my mind from the very beginning, but I just didn’t have enough time to include it unfortunately. We are most definitely going to implement it though!

Cute and very polished! Lovley to see another cloud based puzzle game!

Developer

Thank you very much! Wish I had seen your game earlier! Yours is very polished and fun as well!

Submitted

Lovely game! love the art. I found a bug where if you spam the arrow or WASD keys, you can make the cloud guys go off the grid.

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much! Yeah, another commenter mentioned the same bug, we will be sure to look into that! Thanks!

Super fun game! The quality is honestly more like that of a finished game than of a jam game. I'm not very good at it, but that didn't stop me from having a TON of fun with this one. I would love to see what you come up with for a full release! Awesome work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much! As I also mentioned in another comment, maybe we spent too much time polishing the graphics and “game feel”, that’s why we had to make a late submission. We just wanted to share it when we were ready, we don’t care if we don’t get enough ratings :)

So glad that you’ve liked it!

Very polished game! I was impressed with the surprisingly un-buggy movement system considering its complexity - well done :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much! It was VERY complicated alright, that’s why we had to do a late submission, because I spent the first FOUR days just to get the mechanic right ^^’ It still has some flaws, but we managed to submit just one day before the voting period ends, thanks to the amazing admins of this jam.

We’re happy to have become a part of it, and we’re just happy to hear nice words from other devs!

Beautiful art style and VERY nice movement feeling. Cute game, well done ! :)

Developer

Thank you very much!

Submitted(+1)

Cool art style and visual effects. The levels are fun and easy to go through once you get the hang of the splitting/opposite direction movement.

Some of the clouds got excited and jumped out of the trail and got stuck in this level:


I think it happens when you press two keys at the same time while attempting to move quickly. But no big deal since the project is still a work in progress.
Overall this is an enjoyable little game. Good job.

Developer(+1)

Ohh, this is why people other than yourself need to play your game! We never tried pushing two buttons at the same time haha! Will try to fix this as soon as possible. Glad that you’ve enjoyed it!

Submitted

This could get addicting. Love the game. A very creative puzzler. The animations are so cute and bouncy it makes movement feel really good.

Developer

Thank you very much for your kind words! I guess we spent a little bit too much time on the animations that we got a little side-tracked on the submission deadline ^^’

Aww I love this! It's all cute and fluffy and pink <3

Everything fits well together and is pleasing to look at, the sounds are also adorable and the music fits well. The clouds are environmental, and the gameplay really incorporates the fusion theme in a creative way.

There's really nothing to complain about, except at a certain point I couldn't progress and I didn't know whether I was just too dumb to figure it out or whether it's because the game isn't finished (as you mentioned in the description).

In any case, I'd say this is a personal favorite of mine so far! :D

You can definitely complete all the levels that are available in this version of the game, once you figure out the “trick” behind most “hard” levels! We are very glad to hear you’ve enjoyed the game though!

Edit: The trick that I mentioned is not a bug/glitch or anything by the way lol, the levels are completely solveable. We’ve tested with a couple of friends before submitting here ^^

Ah good to know! I'll try again and let you know 💪

Edit: omg I did it yaayyyy

that was awesome!
