my game seemed to get hung up on level 4--it would just loop the same level when i chose "next level," and when i went back to the level select i only had 1-4 unlocked (even though i'd definitely beaten more than four levels).
i like the idea of switching characters! that's something i actually haven't seen much of this jam, so props for that. i wish their abilities were more distinct though. maybe there's more differences in the parts i couldn't get to, but for the most part i was just using BOY to play most of the level and GIRL exclusively when i needed to wall jump. maybe one of them could be better at platforming across the board (jump height, wall jump, etc) while the other can take more hits before they need to respawn, or maybe move faster? something that separates them a little more.
i did have a weird li'l bug with the respawn where i had to press it twice before i could start playing again--not sure what was happening there. i would also die to spikes without actually touching them (image included), so the collisions might need a bit of looking at.
the music... i would recommend finding something *much* longer if you're going to have a loop. one measure of music gets old really quickly, and i ended up turning down my volume to listen to a podcast instead. i see you made it yourself according to the questionnaire, and it's not bad in isolation! but if this is all you can produce in 48 hours (and there's no shame in that when you're making the whole thing on your own), i would recommend finding something royalty free to play instead.
i'm not sure why this game glitched out and just looped the same level over and over again, but i would have liked to get to the end! might give it another try tomorrow. hopefully it was a weird, one-time bug. all criticisms aside, jams are hard and you pulled together some cool, interesting stuff! i'd love to see it more polished after voting ends :)
here's the pic of me dying a little bit before a spike (not the only time, but one of the bigger distances probably)
