i beat it! i played alone and it was absolutely brutal, but i also really enjoyed the challenge of coordinating platforming with both hands. i happened to take the right path first and completed the game without the item from the lower path. discovering how the key item i found could be used and learning to perform the moves necessary to pass certain obstacles was a lot of fun. that said, i think those mechanics would have been a lot more appealing and could have really shined with some simpler and more forgiving level design.
