Never seen something like this, so pretty neat. Unfortunately it's easy to get stuck on walls.

Not bad. The character switching mechanic is interesting.

Nice game. The art and sound are very good. The game took a minute to get used to switching between the characters but it worked great once I got used to it.

Pretty neat, I like how you have to plan your moves out before you execute them,
I think the last level has a bug, you can walk through the top 2 flames.

Neat game! Like what you do with the mechanic, being able to switch between characaters.

Well done! Really nice graphics and audio. BTW I tried this first in Safari and it wasn't ideal (no audio and blurry graphics) but then I tried it in Chrome and it worked great.

I like those character switching games! They always remember me of trine (even though completely different genre lol)

Wow, really cool! I like how you have a bit of time to think about what you need to do first. Graphics and especially the music are awesome! great work!

Pretty game, but too hard to tell what to do.

This is great! Awesome idea, great art style + music. It's HARD, and the controls are a little fiddlier than they ought to be, but this is top notch.

Clever idea. Would have liked some more challenging levels though! I love the art style!

A little difficult to understand at first - the character art style made me think that it was a side-view instead of top-down for a minute. The switching mechanic could have been explained a little bit - I couldn't figure out why I couldn't switch to the 4th guy at first. Collision could be cleaned up a little, too.

The art is good, aside from the perspective weirdness, and the music is cool, too, but it could have used some sound effects for opening doors, the bomb ticking, maybe for switching characters, etc. Would have been nice to have more levels, too, as the three here aren't particularly difficult. Still, it's a fun concept and relatively polished.

Fair enough, good points to consider if I decide to flesh the game out more in the future.

The mechanics were pretty cool, but I struggled minorly with the control scheme for a while.
Not sure why I did though, as it was pretty well designed.

Great concept, but too short and hard to move around!

Great concept, really nice graphics, only problem is walls that are too sticky. I'm thankful for the prep time to move people to the right places before your first action.
