LD embedded doesn't work for me, had same problem with my game. It is probably better to leave only itch.io
@akacooh Yeah I just removed it, yesterday I left it hoping that it didn't work only because the website was overloaded but apparently not. Thanks for the suggestion
I do think I might have softlocked myself about 10 or so levels in, when one of the Taras fell into the deep pit on the right, unless I'm missing something. A reset-level button would be nice if that's a 'loss'.
Great game. The main idea is clever and very well implemented, and the difficulty curve is just right. The art and animations are very lovely, and the color scheme and music gives a very retro vibe to the whole game. Love it!
The puzzles are quite engaging, particularly as you start incorporating more than just two little pink haired "critters".
I believe there's a lot of potential to expand this game and create countless puzzle scenarios using these mechanics of kicking and jumping.
Art is also good.
Graphics is nice and crips. Overall very nice game, I had fun.
Good job.

Great game nevertheless :thumbsup:
a little bit fiddly with controls, but thats the intended difficulty - solid entry!
There's so many items that could be used to extend your concept that I really wish you will go on after the jam.
After all the struggles I've had with my own game, I realize how polished yours is.
I'm particularly impressed by how soft (rounded) the characters and scenery pieces look while completely filling their square bounding boxes.
That's talent.
I've also encountered the "teleport 1 or 2 level back" 2 times, but that didn't discourage me and I finished the game.

I love this type of puzzle. It has its own level of challenge even though it is an easy game.
It is very well done and polished. It is like a Game Jam game should be: objective and delightful.
The message was delivered.
Congratulations!
Very impressive, congratulations!
