Ditto on what people are saying about the frustration, but a fun concept.

Submitted

Cool theme for a game, these are my favorite characters to play as so far in the Jam! The animations are awesome!

I've seen this or similar concepts in the jam so far (including my own game), but your presentation is top-notch (especially the music and sound effects) and the levels are surprisingly well thought out for a jam game. Took me a bit to beat it, but I really enjoyed! Good job!

Submitted

Fits the theme perfectly, and the levels are well designed & compelling. The movements are a bit too pixel perfect, but I played to the end despite the frustration.

Nice but VERY difficult. So early you have to be almost frame perfect on timing jumps and direction. Awesome concept, I would tone the difficulty down some to leave more room for error to promote more to enjoy it. Don't get me wrong, great planning and placement.

.... this is kinda hard ... uOu the polish on this is exceptiona!

Really really addictive!  

Submitted

This was a really interesting concept, with some really great pixel art. The puzzle-aspects were clever, but I often felt like I was fighting against the really precise jumps required!

Submitted

Nice game! It's a simple idea but you executed it super well! It ended up getting pretty hard really quick, but it never felt unfair! Good job!

Submitted

The art was great but the difficulty skyrocketed!

Submitted

Haha! This was super fun, and I love the art!

A lot of games that have the "two characters controlled at the same time" have the characters move the same direction. You, on the other hand, built it a bit different. Nice job. I like the theme (brains), fits very well.

Submitted

Pretty clever use of the joined together theme. Nice work. I do think the difficulty spiked up a little too quickly though. Nice pixel art animations as well!

This is the Dark Souls of separated-brain-hemisphere/tick-hybrid-based-platformers!

Fantastic! I loved the animation and the funky art style. I feel like a more gradual rise in difficulty would be nice, and maybe even a larger jump? I felt that the jumps had to be super precise. But overall, a really nice game! Can't wait to see you in GMTK's review video, where I'm sure you will feature :)

15/15 for sure... i especially loved the art!

Submitted(+1)

Fun idea, though I found it kinda didn't know where it wanted to be between puzzle-platformer and just platformer. I was doing a lot of tough jumps rather than planning out interesting sequences. Might just be my lack of trying, but with the controls, I really preferred the more puzzle-like sections.

Submitted

The art style is great.

Submitted

Simple concept turned great with a very polished presentation and level design.

Submitted

Challenging controls, but the art style and environment blew me away. Great work!
