This is a fantastic puzzle game. Characters are cute, music and sound effects fit the game perfectly. None of the puzzles were too hard. It's just a great game. 

My only minor issue is with the battery. I'm just a little confused by them. I understand the checkpoint part of them but I'm not sure how the power portion of it works. Is is an area around them that is powered or does the line have to cross them to be powered? It felt like the first one but I'm honestly not sure.

Looking forward to more of this game!

thank you! Also the batteries power the characters when one of them is touching it, like physically, it wasn't explained to well in the game but ill be sure to make its intro better :)

Loved this entry! This fit the theme super well, and I loved the squash and stretch on your characters, the music and sounds were also super nice. Great job! I made some of my jams in GDevelop too, love to see it getting some love from devs

Developer(+1)

thank you :D

Hey that was a fun puzzle game. The music is nice and fits well, attentive sound design, the puzzles gave a good challenge and the concept is interesting. Plus everything looks nice and polished, great job with the art. I did encounter one bug(?) in level 5 or whichever was the "pushup" level - you can get the characters stuck under the stationary block in the center of the floor and pushed into the floor by the 2 moving blocks that you affect with the flow of power. I somehow managed to do those things more than once and couldn't get out without restarting. It did help me understand that what I was doing was the wrong way to go about it though!

For one or two of those puzzles, I was able to put both characters near the battery at the same time and move around way more freely away from power lines. Felt sorta like cheesing it but honestly, still satisfying to solve even in a possibly unintended way. Anyway, that was fun! Awesome job to all involved

Developer

thanks for playing! and yeah i tried fixing the things you mentioned but i didnt have enough time to do so :L

Really cool game, I liked everything about it. My only issues with it were bugs so here they are:

1) When you were stepping on a moving platform button it was kinda glitchy.

2) You could cross the two characters by putting one inside a power line then moving the other one through it. I'm assuming this was unintentional and it trivialized quite a few puzzles.

Other than that though, it was actually a really good game. I wouldn't be surprised to see this in the top 5 at the end of the jam. Good stuff!

(Also if you could give feedback on my game too I’d appreciate it)

Developer

thank you for playing! i will be sure to fix those after the jam :)

Simply a great game!

A fantastic game malek, I was so happy I got to witness parts of your creative process and troubles throughout the way. Amazing work, and so happy with all the variety, jokes and fun you managed to pull along the way ("push up" is my favourite). And of course, great use of the cross path theme!

Congratulations truly, one of my favourite games, hands down.

I love that the music just abruptly stops if the characters aren't powered. Very good game!

Developer

thank you :D

Super fun and engaging puzzles, beautiful pixel art, and music that feels like it's straight out of wind waker.

All around great experience. You should totally continue this.

This is maybe, so far, the best and most clever entry I played so far. Congratulations. I would continue with this and make it a big game!!!!! Keep up the good work!

Developer

thanks! we are planning on it!

Very very good entry. Love the graphical style, the puzzles were challenging but not obscure. Only had a slight issue with some of the collisions on the power lines. Excellent entry !!!!

Developer

thanks! and yeah i should probably fix those issues lol

Very good puzzle game, nailed the theme and simple shapes. Fun and challenging with a nice difficulty curve. Really enjoyed beating the puzzles!

Developer

thanks xander! glad you enjoyed it :D

The best entry I have seen so far! The slow introduction of difficulty and the incorporation of the theme are really great. Stuck on level 9 right now :/ but I'll come back later to try and finish it

Developer

thank you! level 9 is pretty hard but i like it alot!

Submitted(+1)

Very fun, polished and well designed levels and mechanics! Everything introduced was clear and gave me plenty of "aha!" moments with how the mechanics interacted with each other. Really fantastic work!

Developer

thanks keltfire!

Very good game, excellent idea. Tip: after a jump, wait for a bit for the next jump to register. I got stuck in level 9, because I kept hitting the ceiling. Great graphics also! 

Developer

thanks! and yeah i should probably do that
