Leave Them Behind by RedE
Leave them behind is my entry into Ludum Dare 43.
The game is a 2d platformer where you have to control multiple characters to get one across to the other side of the screen. To accomplish this you must however leave the rest behind.
Controls: A and D to move left and right. Space to jump. Click on character with left mouse button to switch to that character. W to grab ceiling.

I got to level 6, but then got out of time and had to quit, but I like this kind of challenging game!
I liked most the way u implemented the cooperation between the characters to finish the puzzles.
What I think u could improve is the hanging movement is a bit weird, they r too small and swing too short and too fast...
With you can play my game !
:)
Pros:
- Really cool game play mechanic!
- Grabbing is awesome, fun, and challenging!
- BG art was super cool!
Cons:
- I wish the grab button would have been a different key, maybe "G", because it being "W" made me want to press "D" at the same time and I died a lot bc of that.
- Sometimes it's hard to switch to a character if he is swinging fast.
I noticed that the little triangle that shows which character you are controlling is rendering behind the characters themselves and the objects on the scene, which sometimes makes it difficult to see which character you have selected when they are all hanging.
I do think some audio would go a long way to improving the atmosphere of the game but I get that its hard to achieve everything in the jam timescale!
