The 10 second switching seems kind of not needed because you can switch between characters whenever you want. It doesn't anything to the game other than me pressing shift a few more times. The characters graphically do not fit with the tileset in my opinion. Overall a really nice experience :)"},{"author_name":"dancingflame","author_uid":"24718","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 9:52am","epoch":1377596820,"text":"qrunchmonkey :\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Did you pressed the &quot;Next Level&quot; Button?\r<br\/>When stuck, please &quot;Retry&quot;.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>And if some character within pocket carried to the exit, it is not counted success.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thank for your playing~"},{"author_name":"dancingflame","author_uid":"24718","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 10:01am","epoch":1377597360,"text":"timtipgames:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for your comment :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>We admit that ten seconds limitation is sort of useless and confusing. At first we planed to implement a multi-player mode, each character have the same ability, so that in their turn they can teleport objects to block others away, and each player compete to reach goal as fast as they can...     but we have no more time to do it. Maybe implement it in post-jam version. Thank you :)"},{"author_name":"Pixelfan Games","author_uid":"20908","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 10:14am","epoch":1377598140,"text":"Lol, you can kill your friends? hahaha i love the graphics and the idea.
