Nice concept! Despite some bugs, the game was pretty solid. Good job!

Amazing game, I love it!

The concept seems cool but the rope and collisions were very buggy. I only could use the rope in the first room, the pots in the second room would sometimes float in midair, and I would frequently go through walls. However, I think with some improvements, this could be a very cool game that would lend itself to a story-driven game!

Thanks for playing!! The idea on the second room is that the two characters jump on each other and reach the exit (only blue can do this). After that, he can create a rope to the ground to help the red robot.  There is a bug with the spawn of more  ropes (red one) sometimes when you press RIGHT CONTROL it didn't spawn ropes (just press it lot of times).  The mechanic is one spawn ropes, the other put them in places.  But you need to spawn another rope to continue.
We will upload a new version as soon as the jam ends. If you wanna play with less bugs :3

Again, thanks for playing and feedback <3

Great game! A good reminder that I wish I had a partner for some of these games. Loved the music it definitely didn't get old. Love the characters too. They've got a lot of charm in such small packages.

Interesting game, I like the concept of one character being able to only create something and the other only being able to use it. The music was also pretty catchy. The platforming movement itself was pretty fun, I enjoyed bouncing one character off the other's head and getting tons of air.

However, the gameplay was super buggy. I was never sure when I could or could not create or use rope. I was only ever able to use one rope and that was in the first room. I was able to glitch my way into several other rooms.

To improve the game, I suggest a few things. Have the red character glow or have some form of visual indicator (even on the UI) when rope can be created. Similarly have something for it blue has rope or can use it (even a rope icon over the head of blue would help). I also suggest removing the sloped walls near the level exits, it may look nice but it is possible to glitch up them.

Overall, not a bad concept and I hope you keep developing it after the jam. If you do get a post jam version up, please let me know, I'd love to play it again with some more polish!

Hii !! Thank you so much for playing and for the feedback!! Yeah the gamplay needs more work, we take notes about your feedback seriously ;3 .

We are working on bugs and clearing the gameplay, so yes we will continue developing this game for sure!! You can add this game to your collection. I don't really know how to advice you here on itch.io, but strikeOLD (my partner) and I will share on twitter and instagram when we upload a new version. Thanks you so much for the interest, it encourages us to continue working <3 .

I can't open rar file.

Download Winrar! and read the Warning we put on the page of the game.

I changed the file name as warning it works.

Cute animation and really a good music choice.

The rope is not very easy to use, and the menu seems like just a ui layer instead of new scene, so if you want to restart the game you have to quit the game completely.

Will need some more work but it has potentials.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!! The rope has some problems with colliders we are trying to fix. You caught us! It is an UI layer xD , we will improve that for the next Upload! Again, thank you for the feedback <3
