which .net core do i need? there is three different kinds
The concept of this game is amazing ! It offers many possibilities, I hope there will be more levels.
i love this game
It looks nice. :) <--- Creepy smile
I can't figure out the level where you only have the character's positions to connect. I think I know the solution, I just can't perform it.
neither
Did I missed something? Cause I have absolutly no idea what to do in the second level
I was stuck for a while, too. Turns out, if you hit jump at the moment you stomp an enemy, you jump extra high! I'm not sure if that mechanic is useful anywhere else...gam james!
It would be nice if you didn't have to install this .NET Core stuff.
This is an absolutely wonderful game! The music, the concept, and especially the level design just all work together to make an absolutely amazing experience. The core part of any puzzle game is that "aha!" moment, and this game just had so many of them all the way through! Massive congrats on getting to the top 20, and here's hoping more people get to play your game!
Cool concept
What are the controls? Is there a way to break a connection, or is it permanent?
Connections can't be broken once they're made.
The controls are shown on the first level.
Congrats on making top 20 in the GMTK Jam! I wanted to reach out to ask if anyone on the dev team would be interested in participating in an interview about your experience during the jam? Interviews are conducted over Discord and presented live on Twitch.
