Interesting choice to personify Night/Day.  Really liked the sprites and the gameplay is really fun.

Developer

Thank you

Movement is a bit slippery but other than that it's really fun, an the sprites are super cute!

Developer

Thank you so much

I'm glad you had fun

Very nice concepts! 

Operating so cute two characters is so exciting! The jump power and the friction between character and the cloud make the world of view good 👍 

Developer

Thanks a lot

This has some very nice graphics, and the puzzly platforming was very good too. I enjoyed :D

Developer

Good idea, love the art and music.

Developer

Thanks!

The music was created in the last 10 minutes.

Lovely art and concept! Good job!

Bug Report: When you click W and "Up Arrow" at the same time, the player jumps too high, and it makes the game too easy.

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

I fixed this but did not upload. I will upload it after the results.

I will try to fix everything.

Those are adorable sprites. Say hi to your artist Mary, from another mary :)

I like having to switch between 2 characters and the circular platform arrangement. I wish the clouds were less slippery though!

Oh, for this stage, I found a shortcut. (Let me know if I should delete this comment!)

You and everyone can send here all the glitches and shortcuts to win the game.

From Mary to Mary thanks

Really creative way to fit the theme. Really cute and good art, they seems to have circular foots that make some lands on the end of platforms a little weird, the "zoom out/zoom in" is a really good touch

Thanks for feedback!

Very cool concept, really beautiful art and the glide in the platformer was really nice. I couldn't get past this level though, how on earth is the sun supposed to get out of here?

Developer

oh I didn't realise that was a jump booster, thanks!

An interesting concept with almost great execution (not perfect, but very good for just 3h!).

Some criticism that I would like to share:

  • The platforming seems too floaty, I don't know if this is a design choice because the characters are kind of far from the earth, but the platforming would feel better if the gravity was just a little bit stronger 😄
  • The clouds are quite slippery, sometimes you just end up falling if you just stop accelerating. Not a huge problem in this particular case, but making the surfaces less slippery would make the gameplay more enjoyable 🤗
  • The height that you reach when you jump while walking is less than you do if you stand still, making the game less dynamic, it would feel better if the height was the same were you running or not 😊

Other than that, good job!

Thank you!

Right now, I'm trying to fix it.

Interesting concept. Platforming to bring the 2 together is a real cool way to include the theme. The circular platforming effect is brilliant, and works really well with the stunning graphics! Some of the jumps can be a bit scary tho.

Developer

Thanks!

The idea arose on the second day of the game jam

I'm blown away by this game!  It's a super cool concept. I love the circular platforming, the zooming out on the map. It's the most unique of the games I've played so far in this jam!  Just overall awesome.

Developer

Thanks, I really appreciate it
