Nice work!! That was wild. :)
would benefit greatly from a prompt above Alice and Doug's heads indicating which button makes them jump.
Easy to forget who is left and who is right.
Very challenging but also very innovative and entertaining. Very good!
Really cool, but maybe difficulty could have been tuned a bit better. Awesome job!
That's what I like to see! Really polished, original implementation of theme, great art style.
Great game! But I guess I don't have the coordination to control both bots at one
Great game. The puzzles were pretty fun. Reminds me a lot of One and One Story
Great graphics and compelling gameplay. It was hard to keep focus on both players but it became second nature later. Cool game with a neat narrative.
I really enjoyed this game. I got a second person to play with me to control the other person and we did well together. Then we noticed that they kiss with a heart and thought the game turned like ten times better. Great job.
Sweet-as game!
Art is clean, and unique! Love it!
Awesome concept, great design. Very challenging as well! This game requires some serious multitasking haha.
Pretty rad game. Got a bit hard for me rather quick though. Kudos!
Thanks for the great game, arkeus! The Graphics are fantastic, as always. I personally liked the colored details in the corners of the platforms.
The initial idea was quite inovative. It took me a while to get used to control both robots at the same time, but it was an enjoyable experience.
Then you throw it away in the middle of the game, and it is a regular platform jumper again. I'm not really sure I liked that bit. Also, because of the difficulty, the music starts grating on after a while.
Small bug: You can use the laser chip on the level BEFORE they tell you you can use it.
Cheers!
Dat asymmetrical game play. More than my mind can grasp. Amazing style and audio. Very clean for 48 hours.
Really great gameplay, sweet graphics
I loved the first half - the concept was fresh and fun to wrap my brain around, and when the difficulty increased adding a second player helped smooth it out. When the second player gets removed, though, and it switches to a traditional platformer, it lost its charm for me. I tried far too many times to beat the killbot (or whatever) level - not out of enjoyment, just because I wanted closure on the story.
Really nice visuals and the first half felt very cool, and though I was disappointed that it switched to the standard platformer format halfway through, the levels were still well-designed. The sound effects are good, but the music is too repetitive.
Wouldn't be surprised to see this near the top of the results. Very polished.
great game as always babe
Controls certainly got me a little stuck, but I really like where you went with this. Maybe I'm just not cut out for puzzle platformers...
Great game as always.
The simultaneous control takes a little getting used to but then it's great. Really like the bouncing of each other mechanic. Great game very well done.
Great game, you absolutely nailed the theme.
Thought it was super hard, but I got someone to play with me and we had a lot of fun! Exceptional art and level design.
I really liked the style of this entry. The level design is intricate and thought-out.
Wow, my favorite entry so far. Super polished, I could easily see this as a full product on a flash game portal.
Nice Game :)
The game is too hard for me sadly :( Good job anyway !
Awesome game ! Good job !
Impressive, very good idea, i like having to follow the two robots. The control get stuck very often, making a simple jump a nightmare, while the game is overall very interesting.
Very nice game, but it gets really hard fast! Or, maybe I'm just really bad xD Anyway, nice work! I really like the art-style!
Wow! It's like, a real game!
Very nice game, the pixel art is good and so is the gameplay and the levels.
Impressive ! Excellent job Arkeus
Very cute, polished and really intuitive. Love the puzzles. Thanks for making it!
Awesome game, the graphics, the sound and of course the gameplay are perfect. And it even has a little background story :)
You managed to do this in 48h? Wow! Great mechanic, concept and execution.
Challenging a beautiful puzzler! Would probably be really neat to play with two players. This reminds me a lot of "narcissus", which is a runner in a similar vein.
The fact that you pulled off such graphics in 48 hours is really awesome! I can't wait for my work-flow to get that smooth.
Definitely one of the best I've seen so far (and probably going to see). My brain can't really compute, but what a unbelievably great achievement in 48 hours!
Great concept if very challenging to play.
Very nice game. Quite challenging, but mostly fair and motivating. I guess it's a lot easier to play it with 2 people, but still I got relatively far I think. Very fun, and the visual style is great. And you incorporated the theme rather well. :)
Love love love. Saw your posts on the ludum dare front page and the game does not disappoint. Really tricky to think of both the bots safeties at the same time.
Great integration of the theme, great graphics, great sound. The game is blindingly difficult for me, but the feel of the game is great. I love the little robot angels. Great work.
This game is challenging the part of my brain that hasn't been tested before :)
Great job with the narrative!
Great game! Well executed, great pixel art, nice level design, although a bit less original towards the end.
Very hard very soon but a great idea and a nice realisation :)
Well done!
Way too hard for me, can't get through even on the second level....but great in every aspects!
Very nice game. I struggled at first but managed to get the hang of it, although the difficulty peaked in the middle (except perhaps the last level).
Really impressive game. Not much to say what hasn't been said already. Really polished.
Wow, instaclassic. Congratulations!
I loved the game concept, story and art style. Way to go!
Wow, this was great! My mind struggled to keep the buttons straight as they switched sides of the screen, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Great game mechanics, great audio, great story. Keep it up!
I like the mechanics and it's really hard (that's a compliment). Well done
oh my god. Best game i've seen yet. I love the theme and the game I love everything :D
Amazing, best game Ive played yet, I dont believe you could make it so polished with so many levels in so few hours
Unique and challenging, but somewhat frustrating. I'd rather have only one screen to deal with, as with this I end up looking at both and none at the same time.
Really nice game, the difficulty curve felt a little intense. I found that by level 4 i was already really struggling, perhaps that's my lack of co-ordination though! Great audio & lovely graphics.
this is really polished looking. I like that pixelated static effect on the backgrounds. The game it self is a lot of fun too. kind of hard at times but in a good way.
My brain is melting.
Interesting concept but the controls are feeling weird, probably because they are designed that way. Anyway keep up the good work.
Melted by brain and my fingers... I love it but this is so hard for me
A really cool puzzle game with a story to boot! Awesome job!
Great all round - awesome visuals, nice sounds, and it all fits well. Excellent fun, great work!
Very clever game and I really enjoyed the art and sounds!
Really cool. Fun and challenging. Music and graphics were great too. Overall, awesome work! Keep it up.
Multitasking is tough :p
Awesome concept, great design. Very challenging as well
Nice entry ! Liked it but as burgerdare said, it's "easy to forget who is left and who is right".
incredibly polished... you sure it was only made in one weekend? lol
The game levels wasn't made to teach players how to play. It was just like saying "go play them".
Fairly challenging but new gameplay with a nice artstyle and level tone. Good job, arkeus looking forward to your next jam game!
Spend way more time with this than I expected. Later stages get really hard! :D
Great game, you should really expand on this! :)
This is beautiful and fun, I especially like the grain and particles on the end platforms. The background theme was fantastic too, loved it!
What an amazing mechanic. Also the level design, storyline, graphics, sound, music and level of polish makes this feel like a "complete" and playtested game. Absolutely unbelievable!
Wow. The quality in this game is absolutely amazing. I wish I could of made a game with his level of amazingness in such a short time. I really enjoy puzzle platformers and this is definitely one of the nicer ones. The fact that it was made in such a short span of time is baffling. Kudos!
The scrolling background is adorable, love it.
I am not sure about the difficulty curve, as the game got frustrating immediately for me, but maybe that's because I am not a fan of hard platformers :)
Good job on the graphics of tileset and characters. Maybe music and sound effects may have been better, but overall a great entry.
very difficult but ace
A very nice graphics! :D
Great game ! A bit hard but that make it more challenging and interesting !
nice and polished.. my old brain found it hard to control both at the same time on the harder levels haha
Nice concept! I really like the story and the art style. Overall a great game, very well polished and challenging!
This is beautiful and fun, I especially like the grain and particles on the end platforms. The background theme was fantastic too, loved it!
Absolutely wonderful. I felt it was a bit lacking in theme, but everything else was superb.
I've mentioned this in my top 6 games on LD28 so far:
http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2013/12/17/my-top-six-ld28-games-so-far/
good job), very interesting gameplay
Very good! A brain teaser and very fun to play. Also very good narration, good job!
Really cool concept and well executed! Love it! :)
Oh my god! My brain! How to control them both? ))
great game. a bit difficult, and rewarding to finally succeed. nice music, engaging narrative. really like it.
My best find was this game!
This is a stellar game. Great story-telling, interesting puzzles, and beautiful art. Adorable.
Good exercise for the brain. The best LD28 puzzle game I played so far. Exceptional graphics. Nice simple tune.
Awesome game! Love it!
I couldn´t defeat that other bot in the end. Also, I managed to get dough through a buggy wall.
Frustrating game, but very fun! The music was a bit repetitive.
Very fun game, it got very difficult near the end.
Very solid entry. I managed to get to the end and it was quite hard, especially the boss fight. I loved how you totally changed gameplay from a puzzle game to die and retry meat boy game. If I had one complain, it would be the theme not completely fitting. Got 47% completion, very challenging to get them all. Congrats.
Full marks for innovation! Great game! :)
This is great!!! Really satisfyingly difficult - and I love the control concept that turns traditional WASD on its head a bit... There are a couple places where the music track repeats without quite syncing up to beat on the repeat, may want to check that out
Loved it!
Awesome! Pretty challenging brain teasers and a nice amount of depth with your core mechanic. I could see this being pretty fun co-op as sometimes its tough coordinating both characters by yourself.
A bit too hard for my scatterbrain -- I can't focus on two things at same time; but otherwise really great idea and /very/ well executed.
Nice idea and fun game.
Although I don't think it suits that well the theme, I liked it a lot (specially the difficulty and polished look). One of the best games.
I could never master rubbing my tummy and patting my head. Its the same story with this for me. But it is a very enjoyable game, however challenging it may be. Fun, innovative, and fantastic visuals too - Great job!!
Well done. Great level design and difficulty curve.
The mood and the generally look and deliver is GREAT! Love the use of the theme and overal solid. Sadly it came up against my lack of coordination. Resulting in me getting stuck, a LOT.
Wow. Major multi-tasking much? On more than one occasion I panicked when I was trying to remember whether I was supposed to press A or D. :P
By the end, everything came together so fantastically. The level design I think was at its best when you had the two bots together, of course, but the end levels were good too. Overall, great aesthetic, great gameplay, and even a great and simple story to tie it all in. Man, that was good.
I got 93% complete. I may go back and try for 100%...
Lovely graphical style and very polished game play for a 48 hour entry. Good Stuff.
Very well done platformer. Good work! Innovative mechanic too. Took me a long time to do the simplest thing and once i figured it out it was extremely satisfying
Very well done on all fronts. Great work!
Awesome concept, hard but amazing.
Great idea and superb arts with many fun little animations. Also nice to have new special stuff almost each level instead of just harder platforming. Hard to get remember which is which, but I found that using different hands help (one on letter, the other on arrow).
This is fantastic, awesome design/theme/visuals/music/all of it, favorite entry that Ive played thus far, well done!
Nice game, but I get disoriented in later levels, splitting my brain heh. Definitely need good coordination to successfully play this game. Still a good challenge though.
Polished and fun. The deaths were impactful.
So fun and challenging! Good job!
Nice job! Loved the art. Very innovative. This game is definitely challenging. The second level took a lot of coordination! Awesome work!
I need to get good skill and reflex to play this game XD should focus about 2 bot in same time. anyway nice game :D
Holy crap that was a lot harder than I expected, really cool!
nice work! really solid
Awesome game. Love the graphics. But the pink and blue beams are sometimes a bit hard to differentiate. And playing with 2 people felt a bit like cheating but also a lot of fun :)
Great looking game! I'd love to play this one on a console.
Really like the art style and idea behind this one. Gets difficult quickly!
Loved the graphics, very challenging gameplay. I couldn't get very far as I have no coordination at all. :D
really nice game!
Very cute and the levels were well designed.
Just too good!
My only complaint would be the learning curve, it's really really steep. :\
Impressive, very polished game, cute graphics, and most of all, clever game mechanics and level design. It even has some narration!
Wow I can't believe this was made in 48 hours. Great job.
Thanks for all the fantastic comments everyone! For anyone who is interested, I (finally) uploaded the timelapse of last weekend so you can see how it was made:

Thanks again!
Really good but REALLY REALLY hard. Congratulations on nailing the theme- I've noticed that before your games rarely hit the theme, but this time you got it perfectly. My only complaint is the music. As a music guy the music is not very enjoyable to listen to. If you want to delve to the minimum amount of deepness and still have good music, you should just download some VST like Alchemy that can make simple pad sounds and play around with that.
Anywho... great job.
Superb entry thank you! Damn hard but worth persevering to experience the great level design. Great aesthetics and the characterisation rounds out a very polished entry. What's not to love! Thanks for AXEL too - came in very handy for my entry ;)
Nice game ! I love it, it's challenging !
This was great and really moody! The robots felt alive... somehow.
I really liked this! :)
clever and totally awesome entry. This is sure a candidate for the first place
Very fun and challenging game! :D
Neat, I like how much the concept has been developed in both the gameplay, narrative, and setting. Great quality all around. It seems like a game they would have on lumosity.com or something. It's really difficult to control both at the same time. It's funny that the theme is you only get one, because we've got two! Great quality.
This is very impressive but not very themey which I'm certain is not a word. It's fun to play and its really challenging. I wonder if it would be as challenging if we could have full control each character. I suppose it would have to be a time attack or something.
Fantastic!!! ;)
You could create a serious game for asynchronus controls of hands or fingers!
Excellent game as always ark. An interesting use of theme and much harder than it looks! Well done 5 stars easy
Some of the levels are really brain challenging. Was fun to play and looks nice, too. I have nothing to complain about.
Brain! Y u no multitasking!? Great game.
Great game, I really like music, and graphic is good too :)
Very interesting and original idea. Graphic and music are super. Great game :-)
