Really nice concept! The animations were quite charming, I really liked the hands countdown. I had a hard time timing the double jump but other than that, the gameplay felt pretty nice to play. Great work!

Developer

Thank you so much, I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed it despite the wonky double jump controls!

Very neat and stylish little game! The art is clean and it feels very cohesive (oh and it looks good as well!) The gameplay also feels quite polished, except for the double-jump mechanic. I don't know if it is me, but it's quite hard to use. Other than a small control change/edit to the timing of the double jump, the controls work flawlessly! Impressively polished for a game jam game, I don't know why it doesn't have more ratings!

Thank you so much for your kind words! That makes me really happy to read! :') You are absolutely right about the double-jump mechanic being too hard, it's definitely not just you! I'm very new to programming and in the jam rush my code became a spaghetti monster and I just couldn't figure out how to fix the double jump in time. I truly appreciate the feedback! Thank you for playing!

Oh, my code is spaghetti as well, don't worry (It's a classic)! For being new to coding you did an excellent job!

Aw thank you very much for saying that! It's super encouraging to hear! :')

Super cool concept! very satisfying when you figure out u can jump off the other guy thats midair! Seeing a third guy show up on the last level was a very unexpected but welcome treat! Great job!!

I really like the premise but one of the early levels seems to softlock as soon as pink spawns and the solution is very unclear

Developer

Oh I'm sorry about that! I should definitely have explained it somewhere, but you can essentially double jump by freezing in the air and jumping again when the turn starts.

Thanks for playing though! Glad you enjoyed the premise :)
