Interesting concept fits theme perfectly

Fun little game!

i enjoyed the puzzles and the little jingle it played in the background was euphoric and i couldn't hold back a smile while listening, kudos!

Very nice! I liked the idea of solving puzzles while joined together. If you were going to make more levels you could do some really cool things with the joined together mechanic and particularly being in two rooms at the same time. Well done!

Amazing game! A little short, but I imagine it's hard to make games in pico 8. Great music, art, everything! Congratulations on making this within 48 hours!

Cute.  I did have some trouble with the fact that the rope can go indefinitely across walls though.  Made for some extra tedium backtracking the one character so the other could come back out of the dead end.  Something to consider might be that the button prompts shown don't match the keyboard - I couldn't tell whether it wanted me to press O, 0, or what until I found somewhere that said to press Z instead.  Upon looking in the menu I finally realized that it was supposed to be the circle button on a controller :D  The only other thing I noticed was in the pause menu, it said I could use P or Enter, but Enter actually sent me to a different menu, where I found the only option to reset objects - I had been on the verge of either quitting and starting over, or quitting and not starting over until I dug into the menus on a whim.  (I entered them with the mouse initially since I did not know how to access them.)  Definitely don't mean to sound harsh though, it was cute how it was put together like a cartridge ^_^

Nice, you made it with PICO-8. Art looks nice.

Fun! The fact that each color can be in a different room at the same time opens up some fun possibilities for multi-room puzzles!

Extremely short, but interesting.
