Thank you. Happy to see that u try this game after trying out the other one. Really appreciate that u take your time.

Interesting and fun game. I did find managing between jack and jill a little difficult, but I think that was down to a lack of practice. Visually the game was appealing and the music fit.

Cool idea and I didn't actually find the controls frustrating, they seem to flow pretty well. You also seem to have designed the level nicely around the game mechanic. Just a question, is there an ending after gettin 32 circles? I managed the get the last one while falling down and I couldn't get back to that platform to check cause I kept dying to the  2 bugs on the platform on top of the last checkpoint

Definitely a very unique idea/interpretation of the theme and it has this cute/silly vibe to it which is a plus. It does get confusing to remember when I am going to stretch this way or that way making some sections frustrating to overcome. I think this is mainly because I couldn't get far enough to validate one stretching only its arms while the other its legs since stretching the legs while rotating didn't appear to grant me additional height. Only stretching the arms gave me this impressions especially since we are rotating I could reach higher places without having to stretch vertically vs horizontally so it felt unnecessary in my opinion. Overall, a unique entry for sure and in a good way :D

Very interesting concept. It gets pretty hard to wire your brain around which bunny you're actively using. But it brought a lot of interesting situations where I had to rotate back in order to give footing to the other bunny, extend the arms, and then go forward. With some polish you could be onto something with this unique idea.

I had difficulties loading the game on Chrome , did anyone else have a similar issue ?

Unique and fun concept, great work.

Cool concept would love to see this as a local multiplayer game can see lots of arguing as a bee slowly move towards you and a friend is to stubborn to move out the way

That's a lovely concept, and the execution is fairly decent. I liked the idea that you need to make use of the abilities to move around instead of walking and jumping. I liked that the NPCs were not too fast. I also liked the feedback on checkpoints- the trees growing. That was really immersive and super cool!

 It took me a while to comprehend how to effectively use the stretching mechanics . Also, I think when the character(s) fell off a platform, they just floated there, allowing me to rotate back up to the ground. Idk if that was a bug or not, but it did break the immersion a bit.

A few suggestions that come to mind are-

1. Set distinct and contrasting colours for Jack and Jill. Often it was hard to tell which was which.

2. Ease up on the difficulty curve.
a. Let the players get used to the mechanics before introducing enemy NPC. 
b. Instead of introducing both abilities at once, you could introduce one after the other, and then mix them both after a while. (but yeah it needs to be playtested)

3. It would be cool to have an option to manually switch between the characters (even when they are mid-air, so that the player would have better control. But yeah this needs to be playtested as well)

Overall, it's a super cool game, and with further polish, it can be even more enjoyable. Nice work, and good luck!

Really nice concept, one of the most original so far. I had a bit of a problem remembering who was each one, good thing we have checkpoints!  I also found a few minor bug where sometimes it detects ground but you're really below it. Really nice job.

i like the difficulty!

Submitted

Very Cool ! Very hard ! But very cool !

Couldn't beat it, but I'm definetly going to come back to it later & try again.

Great work ! liked it a lot :)

It gets progressively difficult, but boy, this is so addicting! At one point I got so stuck I just kept trying to hold down W+D keys and I was able to shoot Jack across the map LOL

Anyways, that was a fun lil game!
