I really liked what you were going for there! It was fun to review!
that was really short but really sweet - like with the other comments said, the squish animation really makes is satisfying. also hehe ninja-
pog game niv, keep it up :D
thanks! :D
I really liked the game! It's sweet, simple, and to-the-point. I agree with Sander Vanhove, the squish animation makes the jumping very satisfying and NivMizzer deserves more praise than what I can give. My favorite characters was the heart, and the hexagon! Continue to make more NivMizzer!
im confused on how to get through the red blocks
Theres a character for that (:
is it the 2nd 3rd or 4th one?
third lol
nevermind, found the friend, and got to the ending, which was really sweet
thanks!
but also got the ending without ninja
Awesome!
The art was simplistic but that was all that was needed for this, a few suggestions: When all characters are bunched together in the group, its hard to tell which one you are controlling, it would be cool if you added something that signified who you are using , also I think a squish animation for the other characters while crouching under something would be cool. Other than that, it was great!
Nice game, given it's a concept, I'll stick to three points of feedback. Sound is definitely a must here and, when you fall, the squishy animation stops the friends from moving and when standing still on lava, while the lava-friend is not active, he does slowly sink into the lave.
What a fun game! Really liked the personalities of the different shapes and the emotional ending! The ending was probably also a lot easier to finish than a real boss fight 😜
I also liked how the characters squished, that made jumping very satisfying! I think that some sound effects could have added a lot here, but it’s a jam game so I understand 😉 Keep it up!
