This Way! by Accidental Rebel
Place and step on arrows so they can throw you in the direction they are pointing at. Get coins to earn points!
Tips:
* Stepping on an arrow increases the multiplier.
* Picking up a coin cashes in the multiplier.
Beware:
* Stepping on tile of the other character resets the multiplier!
Some notes:
The gameplay mechanic is already there but needs a little more fine tuning. We'll see what we'll end up with the post-compo version. :)

One suggestion I do have though, is that it would be cool if rather than having the negative effect-the other jelly's tile would double your current multiplier, instead of resetting it. I think that would really strengthen the gameplay and add long-term strategy co-operating for a high score and greater sense of accomplishment as it's a goal reached over multiple turns, rather than just the short-term avoidance it currently has.
A big thank you for voicing them out!
My suggestion would be to make the tile placement less random: position the coin and the new tiles in a such a way that it will be more likely that the player can get to the coin each turn if they use their tile well.
Found myself in lots of situations where I couldn't get close to the coin with either character because the random tiles didn't allow it and the tiles I was given didn't help.
Perhaps let the player place one tile of ANY orientation?
I like it ^^

Good idea anyway
PS: The player characters are super cute.
