I can't upload the project because I don't have rights for every asset in the game. But the push is not hard to do.
When I poke and the trident is at the max point, so in the middle of the animation, I use an Area2D and get all the humans that are overlapping this area.
For each human I call the push/poke function that exists in their script and send over the direction they need to be pushed which is the direction the devil is facing, so if he pokes to the right side, the humans need to fly to the right side as well.
In the push/poke function in the humans script I just set the velocity to values based on the direction. So when they need to fly to the right I set the velocity.x value to a negative value. I also set velocity.y to a fixed value like -50.
Then I just move them with thie velocity and apply gravity to the humans so they fall down again after a while. Then when they touch the ground, the push back is over and they continue moving around.

Thanks! And yes, some of the puzzles seem to be super hard in the beginning but when it clicks for you and you understand how the tridents can work together it makes much more sense. If you finally find the solution then it feels pretty good :)
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that! I didn't even think about the background might be a problem for some. When the game jam is over I will add an option to disable the background and also some additional control options so everyone can enjoy the game :)
I updated the game to version 1.1. which includes and option to turn off the background distortion. If you want to give it another you should not get sick anymore :)

really cozy
Thanks. As long as the butts get poked, you can do it as cozy as you want.
This is one of those games where it 'clicks' and you suddenly start seeing in buttpokes. Very satisfying. Nice art/feel/music too!
Thank you! The only good butt is a poked butt. Keep on poking!
any chance you could put this on github to see how you did the push mechanics?

Love it, felt really well designed and the poking never got old. I got heavy lemmings vibes, which is lovely.
Thanks! Lemmings is love, Lemmings is life. Good old times. If you would know what the humans did, you would poke them even harder :D
love it :) we need more..
Thank you! :)
I'm working on turning this game jam version into a proper game, but it will take some more time.
This game is awesome. The update has added lots of juice and challenge. I can't wait to see where this ends up.
Really impressive and fun game. But its very hard. I need try more times.

But of course if you need help, let me know.
Seems really fun, and the art looks really nice!
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to play much because the ondulating backgrounds were making me nauseous :/. (Also, please, UP != jump)

Really good, original and really fluently playing. Sound, visuals, all good! Begs for more levels :)
Love the concept. One of the more unique implementations of the theme. A buttery smooth experience.
I like it. Frustrating at times to figure out the puzzle, but I made it through and enjoyed it.
The animation and play style was good.
Nicely done.
