Fun little puzzle game. Had some real tough levels and got me thinking. Clear sharp theme, I really enjoyed it. Good work.

Interesting approach to implement the jam's theme. I like the idea of playing brains and solving different platformer puzzle. I see what you did there. 
However, in my opinion the brains feel a bit too heavy and the colliders of the spines are a little too big on the sides. Initially, i thought i can push against a platform while jumping and if i fell down the spikes wouldn't hit me.
Despite that, i like the game tho.

neat, i love the art, but i game itself could use some work

Love the aesthetics.
The idea of two half controlling might not be the most original, but the whole package is done very nicely.

And it's hard as hell ^^

(and the music rocks!)

Awesome vibe! Puzzles are genuinely tricky, but fun! Definitely a must-try!

I love the art of the game !

I encoutered some bugs but it's ok, congrats !

Difficulty curve started okay but got a bit worse. Some minor bugs, but nothing overly gamebreaking. Fun game and a great aesthetic.

THE GOOD (what i liked, and what stood out for me): 

Overall, the game, in my opinion, represents a classic,well made rage game. The art is amazing and "in your face", the gore is great and the levels (oh god the levels) are very, very hard. There are some nice puzzles, and you get a sense of satisfaction solving them. I got stuck at level 3 :-P. I find your taste in music quite nice as well!

THE BAD (what i disliked, the bugs, and other problems):

The game had too steep a difficulty curve, and I found myself struggling only at level 3. The platforming mechanics were also quite clunky and easy to hit the spikes. Usually you want to go easy on your players, by giving things like coyote time or smaller spike hit boxes! I feel like if there were more easy levels, before going to the hard ones, the player-base would get a sense of satisfaction beating the levels.

THE HARSH (stuff that would just make the game better, usually just personal opinion, don't take it too heavily :D ):

There was some minor collision clipping bugs, as in the creatures getting stuck onto the platforms, but you can overcome that by going the other direction. There wasn't much variety in the game mechanics either, it felt too much like a regular platformer. Your idea isn't really that unique, as far as I've seen, a lot of games do a similar thing to what you're doing, so beware of the competition!

OVERALL: GOOD GAME, I LIKED IT :D, id give it an overall 4,2,5

Super good idea for the puzzle. I like the pixel art and the little half brain, very funny!

Submitted

Some of these puzzles really had me stumped!

Submitted

The concept may not be very original but the execution is masterful here!

Submitted

Nice, kind of tricky!

Submitted

This is particularly great art and level design, a simple but efficient concept!

Submitted

nice, pretty cool art

who can solve all the levels?

Submitted

Played it again, love how you gotta block some characters movement as you do something with other part of the brain haha


dunno if falling on top of the spikes that are underneath the platform should kill ya tho, felt punishing

Submitted(+1)
