Very cool idea! You used a common take for the joined together theme and changed it to be original! I love how the two characters move in opposite directions it changes the formula a bit and adds more thinking. Great job!

The puzzles were really well made I think! It was creative and not too difficult or too easy. Having a grid system would have helped though since it was uncertain at times whether an extra step would destroy the characters or not.
Good take on the theme. Gameplay-wise, I think the game would be better suited to tile based movement. That way the steps to the solution are more discrete.
A hard beginning.
It's a good game, however, it went a little hard on the player in the beginning when there's supposed to be a curve towards the harder progression. Very polished too, other than the weird collision with the bushes when turning around with the character, but not sure if that's intentional.
I really love the arts, though! :D
Nice work! The puzzles are pretty tricky but I managed to get through 3 stages. I like the night time forest vibe too.
Love the particles and light effect you put in the game !
Great concept and easilly understandable mechanic with nice level design !
Congrats
Nice, though I think a grid based movement system would have worked better. Most of my deaths were because I held a movement key too long. Good job!
Hi VAJL7!
I thought the art and music in this game were incredible. Really good polish!
I think this game would totally benefit from a grid-based movement system. The free movement made it a little difficult to strategize, as it was tough to tell when my character would and would-not hit the bushes. Maybe I was playing too dangerously!
Great start!
Best,

The puzzles are superb, I think the addition of conveyor belts adds so much depth to this game. The slowing down controls, coupled with the timed nature of the moving floor makes this both a fast-paced action and puzzle game. Which is super cool since in my experience I've only seen Celeste and Portal do it well. The art and visuals was nice as well. Good luck
Very nice puzzles and artstyle. Good use of the theme and overall a solid game well done!
Nice job man! The characters walk around nicely and the death animation feels crunchy, a little difficult but the puzzle design was nice enough to keep me invested during my play through!
I love the puzzles. The inverted controls were a unique twist to the game. But the controls could have been a little more forgiving. For example, when you turn around, the collider rotates as well as it is not symmetrical. This kills the player even when he was safe before turning.
Otherwise it was a really fun game. It kept me engaged. The art was beautiful. Nice work.
I liked the art and music and the level designs were quite clever. Although the hitbox for the vines could be a little more generous. There were several points where I would move up or down and be killed by vines to my left or right.
wow , this kind of blow my mind, trying to move both of them, but their movement was opposite, it's a really great concept, I enjoyed playing
I've seen similar concepts but the inverted controls added a unique twist and much more challenge which I enjoyed. The level design was really good if a bit too challenging too soon, but the puzzles were very fun to work out. The art and music were also great and really polished. Great game!
Cool game but a bit hard right at the beginning for my small brain. Also hitting bushes can be a bit frustrating for example when you just turned your shoulder to them.
I really like the art and music, it's a nice touch to add fireflies flying around, creates very mystical-foresty atmosphere.
