A very creative puzzle game! The puzzles were difficult, but there was a lot of cool stuff that could be done with such a simple mechanic!

I couldn't figure out how to get past this puzzle though - doesn't seem like there's a way to get blue to the button once red is there, and you need at least one of them to get over that wall to the buttons...


Developer

This one is tricky indeed, and not inherently obvious, but red needs to do some wall jumping up to the button on the left in order to allow our blue friend to make it to their button. Thanks so much for playing!!

a fun game! i managed to play it on my own and it worked out alright (at least for the levels i tried). good puzzle design but i found the players moved with a bit too little friction. overall, very enjoyable and clever!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Your comment regarding the friction has been echoed a few times, definitely something I’ll be looking to tweak going forward. Much appreciated!

Great fun, played it with my friend, really creative puzzles. This idea has a lot of potential.

Developer

Thanks much for playing!! I’m open to any ideas you may have regarding mechanics to add to this game in the future :)

Very good idea, it would be better if I had a friend, but it works well alone too :D

Developer(+1)

Glad you were able to play it, trust me I’ve played it solo plenty of times! :)

haha yes I trust you :D

Very cool game, I could definitely see this being a hit for the Nintendo Switch if you work on it more!

Great job! 😁

Great interpretation of the theme! It was a bit tedious to play it solo, but I managed to complete some levels. The puzzles are very well designed.

Congrats!

Developer

Having played through it solo countless times over the last month, I can attest to that sentiment. Thanks so much for playing!

most fun I had on the jam so far. great puzzle game, very smart interpretation of the theme. will play is with some friends or family later so see how it works as a coop game. great job!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!!

That mid-air scaling was very clever. I liked the way puzzles progress. Having to control 2 player at once was mind boggling but get used to it shortly after. Character movement and camera was very dynamic, I like it. My only critique would be that characters feel little slippery, especially after long jumps. Perhaps I have some skill issues

Developer

Very valid critique! I went back and forth on the “stickiness” of the players, perhaps I can revisit my decision after the jam. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Loved the gameplay, having to use two separate players to get the levels complete was super fun. Struggled with some of the levels and got stuck but really creative.  I liked the use of scale as the player creates a platform to open up more of the level.  Wish there was some sfx to complement the gameplay, but great work!!

Developer(+1)

SFX and VFX are two areas I’d like to improve on in general, this game included. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Very interesting game, I enjoyed it a lot only thing that I struggled with was the wall jump in level 8. Overall it's a good game.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it, and glad it wasn’t too easy/boring for you! :)

Fun game. made me remember fire girl and water boy game i use to play on miniclip. I played till level 4 and then got stuck and could not figure out the way to clear it.

Developer

Loved that game, certainly was an inspiration for a few of the mechanics here!

Submitted

I had fun while it lasted, and it was really cool to see a co-op game this game jam, however I couldn't get very far. I'm not sure if I'm failing at puzzle solving, or if there was a glitch, but I couldn't find any way to get past level 4.

Developer (1 edit)

Level 4 is definitely possible! Just needs a bit of creative teamwork jumps to make it happen.

Submitted

Any chance I can get a hint? I saw you hint to someone else that you can turn into a platform mid-air, but that only seems to let me reach the green platform which I just fall through. Everything else still seems too high to reach.

Developer (2 edits)

The best way I can think of to give a hint is get your players to these positions!

I suppose I should have made it more obvious that the green blocks aren’t player blocks somehow… Thanks for playing through my game!! I promise every level is possible, one level might just need a “restart at last checkpoint” because you can get stuck (bad level design on my part, feel free to direct any gnashing of teeth my way).

Submitted(+1)

Oh I get it!  

I didn't think about using the platform function to hold my place while the other block got higher.
