Creative Vision / Rationale / How Did You Incorporate the Theme
The image immediately communicated the need of connections. We though of having this represented in a gameplay mode by making a puzzle-platformer able to represent how connections are essential and we, as people, cannot move forward without having any: Pippo, the protagonist robot, can only perform simple actions such as jumping and activating switches and wouldn't be able to progress across the level without a connection with an NPC.

I like the mechanics and the final level lol
It’s a good platformer with clever puzzles. The art style was nice, and I found the animations pretty funny for some reason. One time when I tried to connect to the NPC who makes platforms visible, he accidentally fell down and died. So as feedback,i think it would be great if you could add a respawn for NPCs similar respawn to like how the npc's fall from sky when a level begins. Overall, great work!
Cute puzzle game, I really like their animation, the idea is simple but effective, good job ;)
I liked it and beat it. The exploration of the mechanics using those two bots was pretty good, you probably covered all interesting scenarios with these two. But the platforming was very jarring and punishing, single mistake would have you redoing the whole level so it turned into a real test of patience. Also I wish the text was not auto scrolling, made me miss half of it.
Cute art and very good level design.
Thank you so much for your comment!
Appreciate your feedback on the platforming difficulty and tweaks that would make Connections a better experience.

The design is clever and the art style is unique, but after playing for a while, it feels like there isn’t much variation later on.
Thanks for the super helpful feedback!
As a follow up, we would love to add more characters with different abilities to build on the connection mechanic!
