How does your game fit the theme?
Every time the first version of the Player exits a level, that Exit will become their new beginning. The level repeats, but this time it must be played in reverse, with inverse controls.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Assets: Almost none. Tweaked imported assets, created anim controllers, etc.
Code: Nearly everything.

Made solo.

Neat concept and very cute characters, though it was sometimes confusing to control, maybe an indicator is needed to say which penguin is the one who's not inverted?

Cute penguin! I like the core of this puzzle platformer a lot - the puzzles themselves weren't ridiculously hard, and I appreciate the compass you added to each character's head.

As others mentioned though, the controls could use some tuning. In particular, something seems off about the collision detection, that gets my character stuck in the vertical middle of a wall instead of sliding up or down from it. If it were easier to slip up and down walls, that would be so much more fun.

Good concept with some tricky puzzle solving to get each coordinated or separated in order to arrange their movements to each door.  The penguins stuck to the walls a lot which interrupted movement a lot for me.  Perhaps there is a friction setting or a slippery material that can be added to adjust this.   Good music selection for the game.

I enjoyed playing.  Nice submission.
