Props for making music during the jam and doing everything yourself! That’s crazy. This is a really creative idea, I like the invisible rope platforming. I feel like you could expand this into a lot of complex twists on the idea later, too.

Submitted

excellent work, especially the music as always

Clean visually and aurally, and interesting. Very ambitious gameplay mechanic! It is satisfying but it feels a bit strange never to fully master your jumps ^^

Interesting platformer mechanic XD

but I can just spam jumping to substitute wall climb.

Maybe some wall/wall climb cooldown or limitation would help?

The platforming feels very exciting, well done!

Submitted

This is also nuts. Just differently :-)

Too bad that the levels feel the same, and the "real" counter-balance mechanic is not really used, but I can definitely see the potential.

The gravity effect turned out really cool, super well made and executed. I just felt like, in a lot of moments, I was playing a regular platformer.. it’d be nice if the level design leaned more into the swinging mechanic.

Submitted

Short but pretty good. I really liked the 'gravity' effect between the two marbles, though I feel like that momentum could have been used in a level to collect two spheres from two different paths at the same time. Still, I loved the concept.

Man, it took me a while to get used to the way it is controlled, but then I actually had a really nice time playing! Would love to see some more levels!

I really like the SFX! The gameplay is nice as well, but what really bothers me is the repeated ground tile. With more polished graphics and more challenging levels, it could become a great game!

Submitted

Picking up two items at once after timing a jump right was very satisfying! Cool concept and nice sounds.

Very nice game. I don't know if it was designed this way but it feels like infinite wall jump in some areas kind of allows for easy way out of some areas and it takes away from the challange of actually  trying to balance these things. Nevertheless it was fun and I like the sound design as well!

Developer

The wall jumps were intended to be powerful, just didn't have time to balance it out with level design! :) Thanks very much!

A little bit different from any regular platformer I've played, almost similar to marble platformer game, but with another marble and connected to each other. Nice and simple.

Thanks!
