Visually the game is 10/10: Aliens are very cute and music is very relaxing. The game tho has some bugs tho, especially when combining the aliens & swapping gravity. Also, the fact that when you die you restart from the very beginning is quite frustrating. Still, Great Entry!!

Really nice and relaxing ambience, and the two little aliens are adorable!
Joining them together (fusing) for a new ability and the fact that the level design is reliant on both aliens working together are two ways this is addresses the "joined together" theme :)
Very nice game with cute animation and characters (their idle animation is really pretty)! Music is very good too and fits well this theme of little aliens in space.
I would love to see some bugs fixed (when swapping gravity I stuck in the wall before having to go down) and an ability to restart only the level in progress and not the whole game, otherwise, best game so far!
Loved it!! Really made me think how to combine up and down, this has a lot of potential. Great presentation as well!
Fun game, and great art.
The only thing I can complain about is that after getting the inverse gravity mechanic I got yeeted out of the map.. I spammed X a bit just for fun and suddenly I dropped off the floor.. Luckily this wasn't so far so I just restarted.
Well done!
this is a sweet game. I had similar collision problems at first and scrapped it all off on the last day, but thankfully you didn't. It's fun to speedrun it too
I really enjoyed this entry! Although, there seemed to be a bug where you could just rest in the starting zone of a room, and use the gravity switch before you entered said room. This sometimes put both characters on the ceiling. I also had my top character fall out of level 4 for some reason.
Either way, it was a cut game and the gameplay was decently fun!
The art and music fit so well together, makes this experience super relaxing! I did encounter a bug after getting the gravity power that shoved me through the walls, so I wasn't able to play past that point. I'd suggest making a rotation point in the center of the character, because right now it seems to be flipping at the feet. Otherwise great submission, looking forward to seeing you guys improve in future jams!
Love the BG music, fun game to play. At one of the levels one of the characters must have bugged out as I couldn't see it but I could move it - which ended up it dying and loosing all the progress :)
Cute game that suits the theme. I kept failing and having to restart but otherwise enjoyable.
Very cute game with cute art, sound effects and a nice little mechanic. My character did get very stuck inside walls sometimes though haha
