This is my second game for ludum, I'm happy with the final result, it's much better than what I did for the first jam, Enjoy!

Quite a good start for a second game :thumbsup:

making a game with multiple animated characters, that’s a lot of work for so little time :sweat_smile:

The game was really short, and i understand why ^^, but it was promising. A lot of potential and, for what is there, pretty well executed. Obviously, Level design was laking a bit of fun, too much linear... but in two days you can’t do miracles.

Art was really good

Pretty good entry, and good job :thumbsup:

Cool characters and a good idea. The level design let me down a bit, but it's not bad.

Verry good game, I love the idea and the artworks ! I wish we could jump from one host to another like a little flea, but we're just a worm after all

The art and animations are so charismatic and cute.. game was good fun, if a bit short. You could really develop this idea post-jam!

Весьма достойно для второй игры, особенно в соло! Арт классный! Идея имеет потенциал, как тут уже выше писали, можно было бы интересный пазл-платформер сделать. Из мелочей могу отметить, что анимации персонажей хорошо бы синхронизировать со скоростью их перемещения, в противном случае лично мне всегда слайдинг бросается в глаза.

The gameplay mechanics are engaging, and the art style complements the eerie atmosphere. Well done!
