Pretty fun and simple. The gameplay is hard but really fun. The visuals are amazing, and the animations are great too. The art style is cute and pretty simple.  The controls and movement could use some upgrades, but overall it's a great game.

Very interesting and original game. I can't stop playing this puzzle game. Nice work and a super clean entry for jam. ~ Please check mine, when you get time :)

Submitted

Nice one! Really great overall vibe and fun gameplay! Really liked the mechanic of jumping while your other half is falling, such a neat trick!

Submitted

Looks cute, idea is simple but movement and levels need some work in my opinion

Submitted

Very original. The animations were so great. I loved watching the brain do a little dance.

Submitted

It's very fun and hard at times. The solutions are pretty great and it is also really punishing. And I like the quick restarts. It feels very polished as well. 

But in some puzzles you have to be really precised with your jumps, which is not that great and adds a lot of frustration when you know the solution but you just can't time something right. The controls were also a bit confusing in the beginning.

Overall, great submission!

Great art and the music is cool too I love it

That music is banging! I really like the artwork too. It's very nicely done!

This is absolutely fantastic in every single way. The concept is good, the aesthetics are really beautiful and the music is cool.

The only negative thing i noticed was looking at a bright red screen for a longer time was a bit unconfortable. I had to take a break. Otherwise there is not much to say about it.

This one is pretty good. It's a simple concept that can be explored in a lot of different ways. The aesthetics and music are also really good.

Its so punishing in a good way. I have fun trying to figure out the solution. Great concept & puzzle design, nice work! Good luck coming up with another new level/puzzle design, should you decide to expand this :)

Submitted

Loved the twist of mirroring the controls.
I personally find this type of games tedious, but it's certainly well made. :)

Submitted

I find the controls a bit punishing, but that's my only problem with it. the game is a cute twist on the idea of controlling multiple characters :D I really liked it, especially presentation-wise it is great

Submitted

I was jamming to the music the whole time!  Fun, great presentation, and generally very well executed!! (I kept trying to cheat the puzzles but your code was so solid it wouldnt let me  >:(

Love the game, gets confusing, bat that is part of the game, love it nice job making it!

The game is very well polished and is the pure definition of easy to learn, hard to master!

I struggled a lot on the first level to get the rhythm right (I would always jump a bit too early or a bit too late), but after I got it it was really enjoyable!

Bonus points: I really likes that the each character have another sprite when they are facing back, it's a really nice little touch that does a lot!

Submitted

Control both at the same time to connect two parts, that's like fullfilling the theme twice 😮. Good job 😃

great art!! well done, puzzles are hard and it's difficult to grasp where the hitboxes are

Submitted

Very cool puzzle system nice ^^
