Great game! Love the platforming, the cuteness and the music :D
Really love this one!!
There were a lot of games that involved characters tied together this year, but this is the best one I've played. Really clever puzzles too, amazing work!
Thank you so much for playing and for the kind words! :D
you did a great job, I like the concept, good level designs art style is also good although everything could become much better just by some simple refinements, overall good one :D
This was a fun, cute little game. I found it kind of weird that it wasn't an instant "death" when one of the buds dies since the level is unbeatable at that point anyways. I also find it weird that the connecting controls are on the mouse buttons when it really doesn't matter where the mouse is aiming, since you can only join one (which must be really close) and disconnect all. A keyboard button could work just fine with this game it seems. The game overall was fun, and it was fairly unique from what I've seen this jam.
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed the game! :D I've seen a few comments mentioning the same exact issues, and I agree that the game could use a few tweaks (especially in regards to tethering/controlling the li'l buds). I do plan to continue development on this game and I'm definitely taking all of these critiques into account. Thank you for the feedback!
Very cute art and music compliments the game very well. I like how you included the flag check of not leaving any of your companions behind so it ties stronger to the theme. Clever use of linking and breaking mechanic as well.
Though, you could explore using one button to link nearby buds instead of having to click them with a mouse , so that controls are more "tight" and accessible!
That was great! I really enjoyed the gameplay and the art is so cute. Definitely one of my favourites for this jam. Super well done!
