I don't know if this game was made to be played in local co-op, but that's what we did and it was so amazing! Really fun level designs combined with that dang rope to pull each other into spikes, hahaha! I loved the character designs, especially the red one's duck face. Controls felt great and felt like the puzzle difficulty was just right, head-scratching but not frustrating. Great job!

By the way, we played your game on our stream tonight!

Hey, thanks a lot for playing and I am glad you enjoyed! :) I guess there is no wrong way to play it! Originally I was playing it by myself, but it's nice that it works with to persons as well

Fun game! Plays really well with cleverly designed levels. My only gripe is the jumping momentum while moving felt a bit weird to me. I would have preferred to have a bit more control over the players while jumping. Other than that minor complaint, well done! :D

I like this game ! Horever, why is there not a level where red dude is on ground and blue dude is just above the spikes and he can't fall because he is linked ? Just teasing.

The movement was solid and I had a lot of fun swinging around. I played with a friend controlling the other guy and I enjoyed trying to pull him through the levels and into the spikes.

great game and maybe add some music? besides that the controls are smooth and the game is a great 10/10... Cant help but feel this has a striking resemblance to fireboy and watergirl though

Well made, the controls weren't frustrating like many game jam platformers. I might have liked to see something where you're supposed to let one guy "hang" from the other, but otherwise pretty fun.

I've played a couple games with a similar concept, but this is probably the best executed version that I've seen so far.

This is fantastic. The idea is great and it's very smooth. Good level progression. It only needs some audio!

I really like this game. The rope adds something I really like. I assets are also very clean and very polished. Overall a really solid game.

i like this a lot, simple but well made and seamlessly brings together mechanics from other similar games. could be good to try a 'hold jump to jump higher' system instead of a double jump maybe. i also feel like there could be even more fun levels based around one character dangling and swinging from the rope whilst the other is on solid ground in a post-jam version

Overall all well made.
