I've tried 3 times that my party member picks up the pudding, which it does, but then fails to give the pudding to the other one. So I can't progress further. Moreover, the controls felt weird as soon as I got the team member in front of me.
The jumping audio was fitting, but I missed more audio. The visuals fit quite well, but the theme was not present (at least at that early stage, so I don' know if it is later on). The gameplay just jumping along the grid is not really fun, at least not for me.
In conclusion, I have mixed feeling about your game guys. The art and idea behind it feels good, but the gameplay not that much.

Hi, thanks for the honest feedback!
The idea with the pudding is that the main character can recruit other characters but can't interact with items, while Dumbo (the 2nd character) can pick up items but won't interact with other characters, therefore - giving the pudding should be done by interacting through the main character. I agree that it isn't very clear at the moment, requires some experiencing and will be emphasized more in the next update of the game, once the voting period is over.
As for the core mechanic, to each his own I guess (:
