A very cute take on the concept ^_^ The puzzles were fun and the music and graphics fitted very well the game. I enjoyed playing it a lot.

Key TwisterThat was great.
You came up with interesting puzzles that weren't instantly obvious. I think there's a lot of potential here for even more levels!
The art style is just absolutely adorable. The whole setting and mood together with the jump SFX and the music is great.
Congrats on making an awesome game!

CRABBEDHi! Co-Creater of the game here.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the positive feedback! I also had some comments on the game.
1. Me and MrMuff are considering adding more levels and making this game into a full game, we shall see.
2. I plan to upload the game’s ost to youtube and possibly soundcloud, I’ll link it when I eventually do that.
Anyways, thanks for playing/rating the game!
Sorry I took so long, but I finally managed to get it onto Soundcloud!
I'll probably get it onto Youtube eventually if I ever figure out how to make music videos.
Anyways, here's the link.

I've seen lots of games that interpret the theme as controlling two characters at the same time, but none of them is as clever as this one. While the player can control two characters at the same time, each of these two characters' ability is limited, and thus it requires the two characters to help each other to pass the level, which makes this game more fun and creates more possibilities. The levels are all well designed. Well Done! By the way, the artwork in this game is so cute. I love this art style :)
That was great! Kinda similar to my team's submission too haha!
But yeah, short and sweet with some really interesting puzzles!
Nice!

Turn the TideSuper cute. Loved the idea and execution of the mechanic. Great work!

Incanter's ArenaThis was quite fun to traverse through. I really enjoy having such limited actions with the two characters because it made it feel they truly needed each other; versus mirroring or copying each other. I do think the difficult curve could maybe increase just a tad faster, but otherwise enjoyed playing it!

Neighborhood SnapThis was a pleasant little puzzle game that didn't overstay its welcome with way more levels than was needed. The puzzles were all really interesting due to the limitations of the character movement, and the art style is really light and happy :)
Your levels are also nice and short, which is very nice when having to restart a few times lol
It would be cool to see what else you could've done with that side spring, but I think it's good that you left me kinda wanting more, ya know? You made a cool puzzler and that's pretty nifty!

Ray MazingThis was a really nice game! I think you introduced all of the mechanics super well and maybe could have even fit some more challenging levels in between each of the new mechanics, to really test the player's problem-solving abilities! I think this would have really made the pace much more interesting. The game overall was super charming though, great work!

Slider - Jam VersionI was really glad to see you joined the jam and your entry was fantastic. This was the type of game I was hoping to see in the submissions. The platform puzzle game genre is always fun to me and the cute and cohesive art style really flowed with the game play. The puzzles weren't too simple or too hard which striking a balance is impressive. The only real complaint I had was the game was too short. Which is a good complaint to have since it shows I wanted to play more of it! The music in the game was beautifully done as well.
For the first impressions look at this game, they can be found here:

Enemy FusionReally cute game! I loved the art style and the music, perfect game for a gamejam!

U-Night FuryWhat a clever idea, really enjoyed the mechanic and puzzles you put in this game. I only came across one issue, if the red character lands right on the end of the moving platform, it cant jump and I had to restart that particular level. I also really enjoyed the art and music, great work!

Space FillerI did it!
Really excellent game all around. The sounds were great, the music was great, the art was adorable, the puzzles were fun, really everything about this game created a super pleasant aesthetic, and it was just a super enjoyable experience.
Great work!

Out in the ColdThis one is great. We had a similar idea, with multiple controllable characters, one of whom can't jump, and needs the help of the one that can to get places. The puzzles and levels are all fun, I just wish there were more, I'd love to see more of this gameplay. I really liked the music(and minor point, unlike a lot of games I've seen this jam, it doesn't default to being insanely loud, which is a plus) and the art is on point. I especially like the little cigar that the papa slime has. All in all a really good entry.
