Weird and I mean that in the best way! Very tricky at parts but I felt good overcoming the hardest parts. That's a great sign that you did some things right like making me invested with good gameplay! Great job, shout out to that music too!

Very cute game, sadly I don't think the intro narration worked for me. It was just a black screen with the option to skip. And if I don't skip, eventually it'll just start the game.
The babies look freaky, but I do like the weirder parts of the internet, and that physics connection was so fun to play with. Great job!

Gin and Waffles 3: LuftwaffleGreat game! It's funny that the first idea you can think of around the theme would actually be rather uncommon. Smart use of the join. Poster child for this jam. Bravo!

Outer Space DetectiveI love the intro story, pretty funny and nicely narrated.
There's a couple of joined characters by ropes and other materials in this jam, but definitely not by skin. The game is hilariously fun because of that.
I also initially thought of having a game with conjoined twins but decided to change it last moment.
The game mechanic is pretty fun, I like the physics based approach to the puzzles. I'm not sure why but the Q/E extending skin mechanic didn't seem to work for me. I might have not used it correctly.
Congrats on submitting a great game!

CRABBEDThank you very much for the comment Arya! I'm glad you found the story funny, I was going for that as well as the morbid theme. I'm so mad I didn't explain the controls in a clearer way, you can only extend and de-xtend if you switch to the girl, and I put out a walkthrough if you're stuck at any point :D
P.S: I was afraid some other people might have the same idea as mine, but thankfully nobody else is that weird.
Cute visuals!!!, but there is an issue is that there isn't a game over condition, otherwise good music!
Will done!

Salt & PepperReally interesting concept! I greatly enjoyed the music, good work on that especially. I will admit, I got stuck pretty early on. It would have been helpful to get more detail on the controls on the control screen.

Proposal GameDon't forget the shift button xD
I love the mechanic and puzzles of this game. It can be super tricky and challenging at some points. I played the downloadable version, it doesn't has the full control list which made me so confused (damnit, lol). After knowing that I'm able to switch between characters, I like the fact each of them has their own specialty instead of one become a burden to the other. Music kinda fits with the art, The UI is clean. I would love to have a checkpoint or level selection. The game as of it's current build (at least from my experience) will have you restart from the beginning when you access the menu in the middle of playthrough. Other than that, it seems well polished. Good job!

Pandora ProjectNice job on the mechanics in the game! Really enjoyed playing this one, very tricky at times but great take on the theme!

Defying InstinctsThere's an intro cutscene... in a 48h game... :o
I had lots of fun playing through A Tale of Two Twins! The mechanics work pretty well for the first few levels and are used creatively throughout. I did have to stop et the level in the last screenshot, as it seemed a bit above my skill level. The levels I did play were beautifully illustrated, as well as the intro cutscene I mentioned earlier, and the physics for controlling the two characters were easy to get used to and fun to play around with.

OctopuzzlerThank you so much for the comment SunCat! I'm glad that you liked the illustration and the physics (I spent most of the game jam time on those). For the levels, I basically said, I have an interesting mechanic here, let me base all my levels around that, and I think it turned out well :) Also, I put out a walkthrough if you're stuck at any part since I got a lot of comments that said the game is too hard.
The cutscene was basically what drove me to make the game, i.e the story behind it :D
Wow, that was... weird. Swinging and stretching mechanics are hard to grasp. Don't really understand how the girl's power works either. Could use some tutorial levels, but the ones I was able to complete were pretty fun!
Submitted
Dungeon Keysmith's ApprenticeVery nice game! I like the character designs, very funny! Also the mechanics work well with the theme. The swinging around can be tricky at first, but once you got the momentum down, it becomes easier. Good job!
Submitted
U-Night FuryReally interesting concept! I found the way it was themed a bit disturbing, but loved the physics platforming! I found it a bit too "physicsy" at parts, with things giving kind of random amounts of speed. It'd be nice if it were more consistent. As well, the twin above sliding while the twin below was swinging was annoying.
Submitted
ConjelliedReally unique spin on the theme and mechanics! I've seen other games use similar mechanics, but the theme and art style really makes this one stand apart! The jankiness of the game adds to its appeal, in my opinion! I believe I finished the game. Is there a way to have both twins survive the detachment chamber, or does one HAVE to die to win the game? I am just curious lol. Great job on the game! The latter levels were difficult to figure out, but once I realized the importance of the pill in the level, that made the game click lol. I couldn't figure out if I needed to get the pill first or the buttons first, but now I see that the pill gives them the ability to stretch further lol. Great job!

Divided and ConqueredI'll always remember this one as the game that I played wrong.
As I mentioned in discord, I figured out a couple levels in that you could leapfrog your sister, and then she'd swing around and you could use her momentum to make sick jumps. If she was swinging fast enough, you could get a wall between you and her and abuse that for other big jumps. I didn't even realize you could switch to your sister and extend/retract until I almost beat the game this way. And, to be honest, it was a lot of fun! I hope to see some use of this "mechanic" in future updates, with lots of tutorials obviously.
GG!

sokoban-sokobanI wasn't able to get past the third level, it was a bit unclear and when I tried to swing one baby underneath the other to hit the red button it never seemed to be willing to go that far. Still, the concept of the game and the use of the momentum between the two was unique and had a lot of potential, I'm sad I couldn't have seen more of the puzzle design. The screenshots look awesome! Good job.
