Nice job!  The controls felt a little weird, mostly with the layout.  I kept hitting shift to dash but swapped instead, and then forgot that the mouse button did anything pretty quick.  You could try consolidating them to the keyboard more instead, but that could also just be a me issue.  Otherwise youve got some fun mechanics and good puzzles, you could polish it up post jam and have a nice little puzzle game!

Thanks for the feedback! I think the problem with putting everything to keyboard is that aiming would then become more frustrating. Honestly with the number of keybinds, it’s pretty difficult to map them well. I think the main problem with controls is players only get about 5-10 minutes to get used to them, but with more time I think controls usually become easy to handle. Hopefully the experience wasn’t too hindered by them though!

You know idk how I forgot about the shooting aspect, that makes much more sense. Yeah getting keybinds right can be a pain, especially with such little time. My experience wasn't really hindered at all, just had to get used to it, so honestly it's probably an issue with me lol

Really cool game actually. The puzzles were fun and the sounds were satisfying. The concept is also funny and fits the theme nicely. Great job

This was so good! I really liked all the puzzle elements and they worked well together! The swapping also really brought the theme home!

Great idea, I enjoyed how you interpreted the them and the art was very nice. Well done, nice puzzle game.

Nice puzzles! Each level had its own original idea, and was satisfying to solve. Switching between the two characters sometime felt laborious, maybe because the button for interacting and swapping are "close" to each other (they use the same finger), it was easy to mix them up.  Also while the music lacked a bit of energy, for a jail-break!^^ But it was still nice to play overall.

Yeah mapping keybinds is hard haha. With three of the fingers already being used to move it's difficult to figure out a good way map 3 additional buttons. But seeing as the game doesn't really require quick decisions, I hope they weren't too bad!

Regarding the music, I agree it doesn't really fit the premise. Kinda wanted a less energic tune since these are puzzles and puzzles require at least a little bit of thinking, so a less energetic song seemed to fit. We could definitely try to find a better balance between the two though. We appreciate your feedback!
