I do not see why you had to make every in-game pixel one pixel on the screen, and I couldn't get past level 1-2 (am I missing something?). Nevertheless the idea is fun and the graphics are good, overall solid job!

I did include a fullscreen option (F11), but I'll keep in mind a bigger resolution next time!

Most of these issues people are having have work arounds I described in the games description on its main page; but unfortunately that doesn't appear when looking through the game jam submission page :T

I'd encourage anyone give it a look if they're having trouble, sorry I couldn't include tutorials in the main game! 🙏

the concept is a bit mind boggling but hilarious in the best way possible, well done! although I have troubles with the wall jump, am I missing something here?

I JUMP TOO!

yeah I definitely should have a tutorial for the wall jump. You don't need to press left or right during a wall jump, just pressed against a wall. So you only need to spam space bar and the game does the rest for you. Using directional inputs messes it up a bit, whoops!

(Thanks for the kind words too! 💙)

Very tight controls, but super small screen :( Can hardly see anything with the addition that you have to control two characters at the same time.  But the smoothness of the gameplay is top notch!

Very fun platformer! Game was a little small (screen size wise), but otherwise very tight controls and interesting level design make this game great

Thank you!!

I'm sure every jammer under the sun has said 'if I had more time' but yeah that rings true here...  

Glad the controls felt good though! :)

Uhhhh Heya!
There's no reward to collecting pearls... Sorry...
But if you collect them all you can have this as compensation
(ONLY IF YOU COLLECT THEM ALL NO PEEKING >:(( )
