Pro's:
Lives = different characters
Multiple endings

Con's:
Unresponsive jump and overall movement.

I really wanted to play through this but I kept dying at the part with the moving platforms that cross over each other.

Gotta say though, not bad for your first go at making a game. Gentleman

Yes I think the main feature of this game was the multiple people. Once I finished it with the police officer I decided to see how many people there were. The main problem with the game is that after the first time the platforming just isn't fun enough to try every character.

I like the multiple characters as multiple lives thing.  The only other place I've seen that done is in the roguelike "You Only Live Once."

The biggest problem I had with the controls was that if you climb up past the top of a ladder, you fall off, when it would really be better for your guy to just stop climbing and hold still.

I think it's kind of a missed opportunity that all of the characters control exactly the same.

Thanks so much for the feedback !
yeah, I guess I end up making the game too hard
think the deal is that we test this so much that becomes very easy for us to complete it but then when someone else is playing for the first time it becomes very difficult

The idea of stoping the climbing in the top is great, I'll try to improve it
but you can already stop in the middle of the stairs too

yeah, in the middle of the making I really wanted to make different controls for each character but I coundn't think any good ways to get to do it =/
I gotta improve some skills now

Thanks a lot for the feedback dudes !
looking forward for more ! =)
