A very lovely little adventure! Made even better when I discovered you can have Luigi running alongside you!

This is probably going to sound like the world's worst creepypasta, but I'm being entirely serious when I say that I can't play the game because whenever I try to enter a level, the screen starts looking like this. I can hear the music and sound effects in the background so I guess I technically can "enter" a level, but it's a bit hard to play anything when the screen looks like this.
Yeah, there's certainly room to expand on the concept. There are a few ways you can maneuver the characters to keep them in safety while you move one to a new safe area and then open a path for the rest. Certainly part of the difficulty of the game is controlling them with all the same inputs.
Thanks for playing, and commenting! Did you find Mario? :)
Thanks for playing! Given more time, I would definitely expand on the ability to control the characters. Probably each world would have a unique controlling methods with matching puzzle levels. As it stands, you only need to make sure all of the characters survive in a few levels that require their different skills at different points. As you say, time was limited, so I didn't have a lot of time to iterate on the ideas!
Did you make it to the end? :)
