[Half-Full-Games]

Very nice. Art and music are great for one. At first I thought the splitting and touching mechanic were roundabout ways to do the "switch-between-characters" mechanic, but it did make more sense given how each section was meant to be played by a separate piece rather than switch between all of them. Though I might recommend you polish that mechanic if you ever decide to expand this game.

Now that said the very nature of them having to be done piece-by-piece does make it feel like wasted potential for the idea of being able to carry and throw other pieces, but that's not a serious detriment. Something I did notice though is during the end scene it can be interrupted if the player tries to move, so you may want to disable player control entirely during that last scene.

Overall a solid piece.

I'd like to wish all fellow game designers and artists good luck in the Construct 3 Game Jam!

You got bug during final movie - you didn't disable controls. Had problems running the game on FireFox. Chrome worked fine.

Now to the point - this is cool! Really cool. Unique artstyle and feel. Puzzles that were hard just right. Nicely executed merging/player changing with just spacebar alone. I truly enjoyed interacting with the game. There were a little things that got under my skin. At moments I felt I was struggling with controls but beside that... loved the game <3

Fantastic! The art and music are phenomenal, the game plays great and it was really worth playing!

The use of claymation always catches my attention. Besides that the controls were well executed and puzzles were pretty good. I'd be happy to see an extended and slightly improved version of this game with the same art style and animations. And I would probably pay for it.

Honestly, I don't understand why this doesn't have a higher score. It was truly unique.

Besides the gorgeous visual work (I mean, how long must it've taken to do all that stop-motion animation?!? And the scenery!) it's a nice little game. I like the perks of the three different creatures, the fact that the ending shows something... I really like it. It would probably make an outstanding game if a little longer.

Because (and here we start with the slight criticism) it did feel kind of short. We could only use the characteristics of each monster once on their specific level and there wasn't really much to do when you had the three of them together. I also found the going back to the menu option kind of glitchy: I tried it once and the game never started again (I had to reload the page).

On a positive note that I forgot to mention, I also liked that you had to figure out how to use the special characteristics of each creature, even if there were some hints it wasn't really that obvious.

Congratulations, people. It was truly great. One of my favourites of this jam. I wish you the best.
