Monster Twins by Jukepoks1

[raw]
made by Jukepoks1 for LD33 (COMPO)
Game where you play as two monster twins, other one defies laws of physics and hangs on the ceiling. Your job is to get them keys for the doors and to next level. Also you can collect some gems on the way if you want. but beware the sharp spikes! ;)
This is my first entry on the Ludum Dare and it's a puzzle platformer with own kinky twist. I might try making this better later on. :)
There's currently 7 actual levels to beat so don't worry it wont take too long if you have the brains to do it. So have fun!

Controls:

jump: [up arrow], .[W], [spacebar] or [enter].
left: [left arrow] or [A].
right: [right arrow] or [D].

I'm afraid I can't rate this, but I will say that I really enjoyed it. The art is great, the gimmick fun to mess with and the levels clever (although I didn't get to finish all of them, nor did I get all of the gems!) there's a real nice balance between compelling gameplay and challenge. Good job!

To improve, there were a few bugs such as characters being teleported when only one portal was open, and some music would be nice.

It's part of the challenge to get the keys first, before going through doors/portals. But I might change it if it isn't very clear or simple enough. thanks Pickens!

Excellent work for 2 days! The mechanics work well and I love the gravity boxes.

A couple of the puzzles really had me thinking for a while. I liked it. Cute graphics, smart level design, and overall fun.

Nice graphics and feel. But.. not really any game with monster fits the theme... Very hard work there..

Super polished! I love how you kept on introducing new mechanics to the puzzles. This feels like a very complete game for something that was only done in 48 hours. Awesome job!

Simple game and quite challenging. Music would have completed it but great work for first Ludum Dare as well!

A little tip with dropbox, change the "www." to "dl." and it will download instantly instead of taking you to the dropbox page. :)

Thanks RobotHoboDanceParty! I didn't really have time for music so it's kinda what I'm missing. Then again I put that time in visuals..

Liked the game concept and had fun while playing. That's what matters and I think you have a good game here :)

Theme integration could have been better ;)

Great mechanic, graphics and level design. Easily the best LD33 game I've played so far. Great job! Only complaint I have is that it doesn't stick to the theme.

JustASHadow yeah, I didn't think about the theme so much, but wanted to make the game anyway :) Maybe next time more thought on that part!

It's awesome!!! really enjoyed playing it, well thought levels, good looking graphics, good controls, kind of Super Meat-boy-ish look, could have animation potential.

Hey, that's a very nice little game! It is solid as in "has a fun gameplay, nice art and _very_ good level design IMHO". I enjoyed all of the levels - had some hard time on the last one, but due to the platforming reasons, not the puzzle ones.

Keep working on it !

Nice and polished platformer.
The "twin" mechanics is not the most original but the levels are well designed and challenging so it's really enjoyable.
Nice work!

Wow, really cool and unique platform/puzzle mechanic. Very challenging and thought provoking level design. Really nice pixel art style too. I got stuck on this level https://gyazo.com/2d5c5bb4ca73159ca36373a1e36b46a0 I didnt finish unfortunately. But excellent game :)
