Co-op Puzzle by wowa

[raw]
made by wowa for LD 42 (JAM)

This game is meant to be played by two player, but if you don’t have an android phone or no one who can join you, you can play it also solo. The idea is that the one player at the PC has the task to puzzle and the other one on the android phone to get rid of enemies. Teamed up it’s much easier to win the game.. and aehm funnier :P :D Why the additional android device? Well, because of my current project https://waldemar-umaniz.itch.io/kwaaak and because i liked the idea to get some support in a slightly different way :D

Very fun to play and challenging also. I love the multiplayer co-op idea. Surely one of the best entry I've ever seen. Keep updating this with new levels and release this to the app marketplaces. It will be a very popular one

Ah this is quite an innovative idea! It's too strugglesome for little me to get a friend to join me and set up a phone for it... but I like the concept! I ended up playing it alone and the art is so adorable! I couldn't stop saying "oh no little cutie, don't fly away with my ones!" ...except the green hand maybe.. that's not so cute.. It has a feeling of a well made game though c:. I missed having a pause or menu button or even an exit button... But maybe I just missed something. Again: I like the idea very much!

Good little game, didn't get a chance to test the PC + phone combo. However, just the PC version was enjoyable. I loved the simple mechanics and could see myself playing this on phone by itself.

Your game is cool, but why do you haven't ExitButton, when lost. I use Linux and game launch in FullScreen, I can't exit. And your game take all Unix-Signals. I had to reload my machine. it's not good.

@crafty-mine i did not wanted, that some rushed art assets have some influence on the rating :)

@julia-lundman thank you very much :) .. yeah the game misses a lot elements, i spent to much time to make the android app playable alongside the pc app

@iokin oh! i'm very sorry for that.. had no time to test it on linux and thank you very much for the report :)

Can't play it (can only play web stuff for now) but I rated 5 for innovation, because, well, you know why.

I love the idea where you can play 2 players on two different types of devices, and each side having a different role and way of playing makes the game exciting and interesting. Love it!

This game is so cute and juicy, whoever did the art for this did a really good job, and the frantic gameplay's really cool too. Great job guys.

Hey! One of the best entries so far in my opinion!!
I played with a friend and had a lot of fun! She was a non-gamer but got very involved with the funny tasks on the android part. I really liked the idea of two players with different control systems, and the game in itself is well done too! I found the fruit mechanic in itself somehow satisfying.
I only got some problems in understanding what determined loosing and what to do to score, maybe a more detailed tutorial was needed. Also, I think the pace of the game could have been a bit faster. But really nice job! A breath of fresh air :)

@pyrodaes NICE! Thank you very much for your feedback! :) Yeah there are a lot of issues and those you described are also major ones. I'll try to fix them in the post ld version. :)

Wow, it's a really good game. The concept is original and the graphics are pretty nice. The game seems to be well balanced. I still had a little trouble understanding the scoring system and how I could win at first (I played the Jam version). After I also find that the game become a bit repetitive after a while. Otherwise, well played. It's a great game for a Jam :)

@oneiros Thank you very much! Yeah, the rules are not obvious in the jam version and it's still a bit repetitive in the post ld version, but at least with raising difficulty (need to find a solution for that :D)

I could only play the game but the game is already fun and I can see of the multiplayer is even cooler. I'm impressed with all the coding that the Android-PC required in just such short time. And with the post compo version I can see what you were aiming for, the feedbacks are really cool and I love the art style. Really nice and innovative entry!

@rend Thanks! Indeed indeed the jam was pretty much programming heavy, but this what a jam is about right? trying out something new :D

Quite a unique idea, especially for the LD! I played it alone sadly, so missed out on all the android fun seen in the video, but it was enjoyable alone as well, haha. This actually seems like a neat concept to polish and release on mobile, playable alone but also with up to 3 friends helping different tasks/enemies, difficulty varying with the amount of players, you get the gist. Good luck with the project and well done!
