The a-ha moment when I realized I could stick Olly on top OR on the bottom! I loved it.
My only complaint was that the double-jump mechanic was a bit finicky to pull off. It might be handy to make it like other double jumps (press space bar twice) and then have it detach on the second jump.
Otherwise I thought it was really cool and would love to see it expanded on!
Ooo that's a very good point! I'd been scratching my head about an easier way to allow double jumping and I think you're right, we should just go with what feels natural! Hopefully the team agrees haha
Thanks for playing!!!
nice game.
Super fun game! I really liked the puzzles, and having the two characters with very distinct strengths and weaknesses felt /super/ good! Great job! :)
This is very similar to the mechanic in my game and I'm glad I'm not the only one who used it
Great job this is a great game
Great theming! Every element tied together really nicely with the aquatic art style. I enjoyed the quickness that many of the actions required and I'm impressed how you built on the mechanics you showed! Great job!
Wow this art style reminds me of the underwater section in super mario bros 3. The characters all felt unique and well made.
The art is great, love the underwater theme you have going! The music adds a fantastic layer of auditory spice. Your idea of sticking characters together is really similar to the core mechanic of my game, but I feel like you're suffering the same issues I'm encountering where the controls are just too convoluted and messy. You're movement is great though, I feel like if I was able to remap buttons this game would be a lot better! I hate to advertise my own game here, but it's so similar to this one I'd love it if the devs would check it out and give some feedback, I feel like together we can come up with some great ways to improve both games!
Wow thanks for the detailed response!! Will definitely check your game out soon! Just gotta get through my queue first!
Very nice and clean. Good job!
Really cool stuff, it's impressive to see the amount, and how clever some of the puzzle are in such a short timeframe.
Hi Harrisandwhich!
This was a fun underwater adventure! I loved that the characters had their own personalities and voices associated with them. It's a cool concept to lose abilities (such as jumping) when disconnected, and to transfer them to the other character when connected. An excellent idea that was well executed!
Best,

I really enjoyed your use of the aquatic theme. It gave this game a unique feeling. The sounds of both characters were also incredibly fun :D
Good idea and good fun, definitely pretty original in terms of controlling 2 characters
Very cool idea! I loved the art style and puzzles :D Super neat entry to the jam! Please check out mine when you have time. I also use TAB to switch character control haha
