Pretty simple but well done. I think if you would have added some way the two characters interact with each other it would leave for more interesting level design. For example, if they could stand on top of each other. As now you just have two decoupled players that don't really interact.

Actual camera view distance is a lot less then in your screenshot, maybe leading to the leaps of fait that Smuon reports?

Hi, Sorry that you did not like the game. I had exams and made it in 5 days, and the engine I was using did not allow me to make the mechanic of both the players, or I was also thinking of adding it. And I kept the camera quite small because it would give the sense of the theme In the game, as you know that the character has to cross so he has to go up.

Thank you for stating that

Oh, you got me wrong. I didn't say I didn't like it. I think in general it was well done, and I think it can be expanded. That's not "not liking it", just thinking about how to expand it to be even more :) and to be honest, I wouldn't be thinking about that if I didn't like it at all.

This was very fun and satisfying to complete, but in a couple levels it felt like you kind of had to make a leap of faith and hope you would fall onto the end platform. Well done!

I am very pleased and happy that you liked my game, this is the second jam of my life and in the first one I had failed very badly. So this comment made my day, thank you

this was a nice game, the music was pleasing to the ears and while the  game was pretty simple, i still had a blast trying to help these guys get to where they need to go
