Hey! Because of your feedback i've made these changes(they will be released when the jam ends):

- The foreground is now more darker

-The boxes are easier to move

-There are now level transitions

-They now smile when they touch :)

I think that's all the changes made unless I forgot,.

Nice game. I liked it! Did you write the music as well? Love how the art, music, and sound effects match together so well. The little animations on the characters are charming too.

One thing I felt like was missing. The characters are frowning and I assumed that was because they were apart. But once they reach each other they don't smile, they keep frowning. So they don't seem happy to see each other haha.

Oh crap that's one of the things I wanted to add to the game but completely forgot to, will make sure to make them smile in post-jam version. Thanks for playing! Oh and yeah the music was also made by me, glad you liked it.

Really good level design for a jam game!  I like the need to  switch characters. When I 've seen  you can restart the level , it scared me (sometime that mean repeat a  long and boring level until you get to the interesting point), but  it wan't the case.

Congrats!

good but the boxes are slightly buggy and hard to push. levels are well designed, and each character gets their own special ability, making the gameplay different , but easy to master. nice submission :)

A nice platformer with 2 different characters, I quite enjoyed it. Puzzles seem fun. Somehow the box is really hard to push though, took a while to solve some puzzles haha

Developer

Glad that you liked it! I will update the game with less buggy boxes when the jam ends.

Cool mechanics! Game was fun to play. The boxes would sometimes not move and the background and foreground textures were a bit too similar on level 2. Otherwise a cool fun game which felt good to control. Nice :)

Developer

Thanks for playing and leaving feedback! I  saw another comment about foreground and background blending, how do you think I could make them not so similar?

Submitted(+1)

A bit hard to tell foreground from background. I missed the switch at first on level 3(?). Not sure how I feel about things happening off-screen, but no biggie for this IMO. Controls felt pretty good.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, how could I make the foreground not as similar to background?

Submitted (1 edit)

There are several options, like a different color, different pattern, more/less detail. In general as things fade into the background, they have more muted colors, less detail et.c. You have a slight variation today but it's quite subtle.

Interesting concept. I like switching the characters, cool idea!

Nice job on this. The controls felt responsive unlike a lot of platformers that you see in game jams which just use a standard unity rigidbody and always feel floaty. This felt great and the puzzles were the perfect amount of challenge. I particularly liked level 4 I think it was where you had the 3 buttons next to each other and had to go back and forth between them.

Thanks for playing!

Nice game cute artstyle. very similar to our submission was nice to see it done another way

Submitted(+1)

Cute but a bit frustrating, got stuck.
Why are the boxes extremely hard to push?

Developer(+1)

Boxes were a bit buggy and I didn't really know how to fix them, maybe i'll fix it after the jam.

Developer(+1)

Update: I found a fix for the boxes, but I think I can't update the game before the jam ends.

Really fun game. There are a few places where the visibility could be a bit better, jumping into the unknown is never fun.

The characters remind me a bit of an old cartoon I think I watched as a kid. Cute sound effects.
