My squirrels seemed to go quite far apart and I did not lose...anyways, good graphics, it felt good!

Didn't seem to lose even when I disregarded keeping the squirrels together. Also, I didn't see any enemies. The art looks great, though.

Nice idea!
Firstly didnt know why i wanted a small jump, then i learn it... x)
The art is really cool too.
Have you considered in make this game a two player game?(whit the same keyboard, one player controls one squirrel)

nice graphics and very cute squirrels, but the gameplay was a bit lacking. one of the squirrels got left behind quite early and the buttons were not that easy to understand.

The squirrels are cute and the game has a very nice aesthetic.

Your core gameplay mechanic is a cool idea and use of the two button theme. I think emphasizing more of a failure state or penalty if your squirrels get too separated (or one fell below the bottom of the screen, I think that was what I was to avoid having happen?) would give more satisfaction to doing well.

Cool cool.

I think the enemies are bugged as I didn't seem to see them however, really cool concept and very fun to play.

Lose condition is bugged for sure, and there are no enemies at all. The idea behind this game is very good, fits the theme nicely, graphics are nice too. Except I can't judge properly this game when it's bugged.

Cute graphics, great concept and execution but this needs a lose condition, like, you can just take your sweet time to get the squirrels up, there's no time-pressure like in many of these quick action/reflex games :)

Cheers,

Gameplay sadly broken but the graphic looks fine. It would be nice if you hit me up on Twitter when the patched version is ready.

Weird little game! Was missing a alot from the description -- too bad about the bugs. But I love the squirrel faces and the overall design sounds good.

Same as other comments. Very interesting idea and cute graphics, but there aren't any enemies (except the spiders) or items. Music ends if you play for long. But I did loose when my squirrels got separated, I think that's fixed. By the way I think the spiders are too slow.

Cute. A little too easy though-- it seems like I hardly ever have to use the short jump. It basically just goes long jump until they're a bit apart then short jump until i either cant move or they're back together again.

Make the danger of them getting far apart more real and you've got somethin'.

Cute little game. Was no real sense of pressure from the spiders and didn't see any items or ravens.. though maybe I didn't play long enough?

Foxtacy: Very addicting, the graphics are very nice, the soundtrack is appealing, and this would make an awesome mobile game :)

Крутяцкая игра!!! Приятный флетовый графон и ржачные белки :) Вышло набрать высоту в 125. Клёвая идея!
