That is a super unique idea! I really like this and is one of my favorites so far for LD46. Awesome job, thanks for putting an HTML version up. (I recommend full screen since they are so small)
The music is a real bop and I feel like I learned a new word today. The gameplay really clicked with the level where you have to stack them on top of each other and scale the wall. I think some explicit text tutorial rather than spitting them straight down into the spikes on the first level would have helped well. Keep it up!
Really liked the puzzle. Very clever. Loved the one that had to stack one on the other in the left and them run and jump. The yellow things are a wise choice too. The color pallete is cute. The song is catchy, could be a little longer on maybe the lead on a lower register, but im just being picky, haha. Great work. Congrats again for the puzzles. This is a pretty cool concept.
This game is definitely fun to just run around and hit buttons since the tartigrades can interact and jump around in weird and fun ways. There were some spots where the game design really shined, namely when you were using multiple characters. There were a lot of levels where I didn't really need multiple and it ended up being a fairly standard platformer. Nonetheless, good job exploring the concept. I can see the idea has a lot of promise and you could do plenty of variants of this in the future.
Fun little game. Got stuck at a level where you have to go up a straight wall but there are 2 of the blue death orbs. Finally gave up there and couldn't figure it out. Really cute game however.
Fun and cute! If I had to make two suggestions though - the camera feels too zoomed out, especially considering how detailed the tartigrade sprites are. It _does_ make them feel more 'microscopic', though, so maybe that was intentional. It also felt like sometimes the mechanic of having a bunch of characters to control was kind of unecessary, since I'd just isolate one and get them to the end. Maybe having a number of tardigrades you need to get to the end instead of just one? Either way, fun little game!
Haha, how is the level with the wall and the two blue thing of its left doable ? I just can't xD Really cute and fun game, great idea. I really enjoyed playing it !
The mood is really amusing, the sound design is neat and you've done a nice level design overall, i felt more the notion of sacrifice your friends to move forward than keep it alive but it was fun :smile:
Very nice! Even though they're so small, I feel as though you were able to give the characters a lot of personality, and I like how you used the first level to demonstrate that the blue shapes are a hazard - though I'll admit I was a little confused at first!
I agree with one of the above comments that requiring more tardigrades to get to the end of the level might be cool - though I guess that might also make it quite a bit harder!
Super cute! Reminds me of Enough Plumbers. Some minor nitpicks are that I wish I could see the detail of the water bears better but I guess they are supposed to be small, and that the jump sound loops. I love the gameplay because even if you kill a waterbear, you have a bunch more ready to go.
