This is very cute, really adorable art style. Need some times to figure out the control, I think adding a tutorial in the beginning will benefit this game. The control is also a little bit finicky which I know you will improve after the jam.

This has a lot of potential, I really cant wait for the post jam build, I am rooting for you, great work! :)

This game looks beautiful and I love the character designs. I also really love the concept of them having to stay close. I think there's some work needed on the movement, as it's a little hard right now. Also, you can technically cheat (not that I would EVER do such a think) and spam jump and platform to jump higher and higher. Very interested to see where this one goes.

The characters and music are very nice. However, the controls felt really undertuned and difficult. The core mechanic of one player being able to do a thing but the other having no special ability didn't feel good either and made for some overly tricky platforming for the otherwise straightforward premise. Controls weren't given in the game either,  which made it pretty awkward to figure out. 

Really nice presentation though. And you did this in only 19 hours? Hopefully you'll get a chance to finish your vision after voting closes.

Thanks CFHM,

Thank you for playing our game and taking the time to leave such a constructive comment. We definitely hope to polish the control system in the post jam build, as we had a few comments about that so far. I definitely do agree with the one player having a special ability, it was intended that the second player would have a special ability but we were unsure what to make this. We will definitely be adding an ability for wattson in the post jam.

Kind regards, Brodie from Never Met Studios

the game/animation is really good, the music adds to the game well, i did not really have a coop friend to play with so i tried to play as both characters. it was really difficult, also when making the platform the lumina kept going crazy, this was a really nice game, could use a bit more polish on the controls  

Developer

Thanks piranha,

We are glad that you enjoyed the game, We know that the game can be hard to play as a single player but glad you gave it a try. We will be working on the game after the Jam voting period is over and polishing things off.

It is BEAUTIFUL (graphics and music). It’s kinda hard to control the characters but we had a lot of fun trying to coordinate our movements.

Lovely :*

Hello Bronino! Thanks for the comment! Brodester made an absolutely fantastic job on the music- and thank you for the comments on the graphics! We are going to be working on new updates to the game and adjusting these sorts of things. 

Thank you ever so much for your feedback! 

Kind regards, Lottie from Never Met Studios.

Absolutely adore the characters and music <3! Really awesome job on that!

Gameplay wise I found it a little tricky to play by myself (guessing I better play together with someone else). One thing that would have helped a lot is, having the control mapping on screen, in corner for example. Having seen these cute characters, I really just wish to see these going on adventures in a full game together <3.

Hey there BrokenInglish! Thanks very much for playing the game and taking the time to leave a comment! 

Brodester and I will be working together to update the game and develop it further, so we will take into account everyones feedback and apply it to the new updates. We're excited to work together on the game and develop it into a full game. 

Thanks for your kind comment!

Really loved the art and music in this one, I would absolutely pay money for a sticker of Lumina or Wattson, they're adorable.

Game is playable by one person, but definitely not easy.

Developer

Thanks Kyle for playing our game, I was sitting in the stream and thoroughly enjoyed watching the stream. I was so glad to see you're reactions to all of out hard work. You gave us some great feedback and we'll definitely be updating the game with a few more levels and definitely including a tutorial and options.

Art is so cute !
I am a bit confused by the controls for watson, and how to make it use the platforms made by Lumina.

Developer(+1)

Hi Rabbits, Thankyou for you're feedback. We intend to update the game after the jam and add more explanation in the game.

Our concept with Wattson is that he's heavy and cant jump very high, but he can jump in Lumina's platforms. Thankyou for letting us know what parts you struggled with

Kind regards, Brodie from Never Met Studios

I love music and art, very beautiful

Developer (1 edit)

Thankyou for you're positive message. Mayhem did a great job with the art. I tried to make a light easy listening bop for the music and im glad you enjoyed both.

I really Like the art style but I'm kind of confused about what I need to do or if there is some controls I'm missing

Developer

Hi Laurie, i'm glad you like the art style, mayhem did a great job with that. On the Itch.io page for the game (the full page version) there is a list of controls and a brief explanation. Please let me know if there is enough info there. I'm happy to make changes if things are unclear

The art is so cute, love it, good luck! :)

Developer

Sorry Mokofr it took us so long to get to your comment. thank you so much for playing our game and taking the time to leave a comment Mayhem did a great job with the art and was pumping it out faster than I could add it to the game (as the coder).
