I like the characters, especially the robot, and the swinging motion you end up doing to solve the puzzles when you're turning on the generator is pretty satisfying. Good job!

Wow, the level design surprised me, specially th second level had some clever puzzles! Good job!

Finished it! Really cool implementation! And the puzzle design is really good. Gotta say, making a puzzle that works both ways (in the ending) is pretty hard to do, great job! Would've loved to see some more audio and maybe some effects (bloom, lens dist, etc), but this is very good!

Cool concept. Wasn't sure if I got stuck on the 2nd level or if there was a bug, but it was fun.

Love the ghost's options and the co-op feel! I had slight issues with the colliders on the trigger plates in the second level; if both characters are near plates of the same color, it gets a little glitchy. Around that slight hiccup, it was a lot of fun!

Well done, the levels were very nicely laid out, I really enjoyed the puzzles for this. Loved the music. One thing that might be nice is if the doors on the second level looked visually different, so that we can tell the ghost can't go through them. Other than that, everything was intuitive and the controls were easy to pick up. Could see this working great with dual joystick controller.  I would definitely play more levels.
