-The bad "life advices" on the screen are hints to the level :)

Premade assets disclaimer:

-Bob, Shawn, and the background squares are some platformer tiles i made last week to practice making 2D platformers in general

-Background music was a scrapped bg idea for Help! My printer malfunctioned

-Salto En madera | Royalty-free Music - Pixabay was the jumping audio

Bob the Block has one singular goal: To reach the portal. However, he is rather stubborn and believes that the easiest way to the goal is to hold the right key. Shawn the square saw it and decided to help with his newfound artifact--time-pausing clock. It pauses the time and allow Shawn to guide(push) Bob to the right path.

Controls

A/D: Left/Right

Space: Jump

E: Time pause

Q: Restart

R: Unstuck Bob(I used box collider wrong, so Bob will sometimes stuck with the tilemap. Press R to unstuck him)

-Also i think the yellow tiles are not working so they do not mean anything

What to expect

-Somewhat of a difficulty(About 2-3 tries per level)

-On pause, Bob will have no Gravity(But Shawn still does)

-Pushing Bob to the finish line(Just like how you carries your teammates)

Guides for each level

(It's not much strategy, so i will recommend to play the game first)

Before the guide, i apologize for making the second level one of the hardest...I planned a progression where a challenge for the previous mechanic is introduced before the next mechanic.

The difficulty is based off how hard it is to complete the level FIRST TRY. With 3-5 tries, all levels here can hopefully be completed:)

Level 1-Pushing guide Difficulty 2/10

Shawn wait at the hole, and time pause once Bob is on top. Then, while paused, push Bob up. (This is (one of) the main mechanic of this game I will call up-push in future guides)

Level 2-Pushing challenge Difficulty 7/10

Up-push twice, then catch Bob on the stairs(Predict where bob will land), then Up-push to the end, make 1-2 stops on the stairs. On the stairs, step left a bit to catch Bob more efficiently.

Level 3-Meet button Difficulty 3/10

Wait for Bob to drop a little, pause, then jump on Bob to press the button

Level 4-Collaboration Difficulty 6/10

Up-push three times, then Shawn drop down to press the button

Level 5-Finale Difficulty 7/10

Up-push just enough to catch Bob at the first platform, Up-push again, then Shawn press the button
