Collect power ups to change the world around you and help your animal friend to the fountain. A randomly-generated puzzle platformer game. Press R to restart (sometimes the game is unsolvable). Play with another person or by yourself.

Fox's controls: WASD to move and space to use power
Fish's controls: Arrow keys to move and enter to use power.

The powers are:
- Jump over the next tile (if a power up is in the next tile you collect it)
- Swap the current tile with the next tile
- Shift the current row down by two
- Make a tile marsh (so both of you can use it)

I liked the overall concept of the game, but didn't have the sufficient motivation to play a lot.

You made awesome job, graphics music code, my respects ^^
The game is quite annoying after playing once and sometimes it's really easy, sometimes really hard.

Wow, fantastic entry. The music was just lovely! Very creative gameplay, the graphics had a nice style, and the two characters were very cute. I played with myself though haha but it was still fun!! Amazing job.

This is great. The use of the theme is perfect. Great music too. Very well done.

This game is very fun to play with two players, which I love! The art and music and atmosphere are adorable, and the gameplay is well-designed. A fun little toy to have on hand with a sweetheart or younger sibling ;)

Absolutely fantastic. A couple of simpler levels introducing the mechanics, or the ability to zoom out and view the world a bit more, and this would have been perfect. Minor things though, very well done!

Fun game, really cool concept. I got stuck quite quickly but love the idea :D

Hi there. Nice idea and models, level layout. I found the powerups and size of first level a bit daunting. A simple tutorial level or two would have been good.

A bit tricky to understand, but it makes sense once you've figured it out.
The marsh tile is totally overpowered, though.

This is a nice game and a very cute concept / mood.

I'm not sure the 3d add anything to the game, artwork on title make me think that you could have achieve a better result with pixelart.

anyway congrats for making such a refreshing game in 72h.

I like the concept and the ambiance. However, I think having predefined level puzzles would be a better approach than randomly generating them. As others have said, sometimes it's really easy, and other times is excessively hard. If a player gets a hard level first, that's going to deter them from playing further.
