Fun concept, felt great to play, too easy in my opinion. The only time that you had to be worried about snapping the rope horizontally was if each character was at either end of the screen, even then it still wasn't that difficult to avoid snapping.

Thanks for the feedback! I noticed that during playtesting, but didn't want to make it too hard for less experienced players. I also tweaked other factors like the amount of grips and the jump force etc. Maybe for a post-jam release I could add a difficulty setting that adjusts the amount of grips and the length of the rope. But you're right, currently the rope mechanic is mostly only effective in preventing one player to get ahead when two people play the game together

Really enjoy jumping with one and having the other take the place at the same time, lots of interesting speedrunning potential

Thanks! a friend of mine suggested the same, maybe I'll add a timer and a scoreboard as a speedrun mode in a post-jam release

This is such a gem! It straddles the line well between zen and stress. Great job!

Seriously incredible idea. It really sticks to the theme. The gameplay is really great! Like M_rld stated both at once is a fun challenge!

The execution on this idea is really good! It felt smooth to play, and being able to control both at once definitely is a nice touch!
