What an ambitious game! I really like it. Making an asymmetric multiplayer is very cool; I guess because it relies on having two people it can be hard for most people to play. But I was able to play and I enjoyed it! šŸŒ®šŸˆ

Fun puzzle ideas that get you really excited once you realize what the other person's clue means. I thought I was stuck on the jungle one, but then I realized the layout was zig-zag instead of a top and bottom row.

Great job with this! Do you have plans on developing it further? I'd suggest adding some kind of hint system in case players are stumped. I would also add some sort of noise to indicate when you successfully completed a puzzle (similar to the first door one). I hope you all are proud!

Thank you!  We had a bunch more ideas for puzzles, but unfortunately all my favourites (except for the animal one) got scrapped due to time constraints.

Thanks! Iā€™m actually so, so happy someone managed to play it all the way through, none of us have lmao.

Unfortunately, we have no plans for this game in the future. Honestly, I really hated developing this. The project is a complete mess. The last thing you see, ā€œI needed to hear that,ā€ was a reference to the fact I was so worn out by the end of it that I couldnā€™t wait to hear ā€œCongrats, youā€™re doneā€ and stop working on it.

I will, however, be doing at least 10 jams over the course of a year, starting about this month, but Iā€™m aiming for 30! 2 are down, in the middle of a third. This game is definetly going to be at the bottom of the list of games Iā€™m proud of during this year of jams.
If youā€™d like, I can update you with any future multiplayer or asymmetric muliplayer games I make. Or puzzle games if thatā€™s what floated your boat about it.

Your gameā€™s animation is incredible by the way! The background art is stunning, too. I didnā€™t have time after the jam to check out many otherā€™s games, due to personal circumstances, but Iā€™m trying to get better at it and Iā€™m committed to trying at least a dozen out after the jam Iā€™m doing right now.

Haha, very refreshing to hear your honest experience working on this! 

I hope your game jam journey goes well. This was my first jam and I learned so much; a big thing being how important it is to set boundaries with how much work you're putting in so you don't get overwhelmed. Hopefully in your other jams you have a more enjoyable experience! I'll keep an eye out for anything else you might put out there.

And I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for taking a moment to check it out. :)
