Love the gorgeous pixel art, especially the dithering around the circles and the waterfalls! Truly solid gameplay and sound design too! Nice job!

matthias_zarzecki 2014-08-25 02:41

Lovely Platformer! :D

capsizedmoose 2014-08-25 03:03

It's certainly been done before, that's for sure. but the artstyle + the music made everything feel so much better! it looks amazing with this flat color style to it.
overall i really enjoyed it :)

supsuper 2014-08-25 03:23

Really like the art and music style you got going.

kenrickrilee 2014-08-25 03:30

Holy crap this is beautiful!

invictusv 2014-08-25 03:49

Gorgeous and very well designed.

mrjordan 2014-08-25 06:00

Just brilliant. No complaints!

tannernetwork 2014-08-25 08:01

Great cooperative game.

aaants 2014-08-25 14:34

Awesome :)

tomvert 2014-08-25 19:38

Very cool, love the visuals and the music. Switching perspective is well done and convincing. The level design is good. Great job !

2014-08-26 00:35

You are truly the top dog

saintheiser 2014-08-26 01:40

Nice concept, despite the ordynary "connected worlds" idea =)

2014-08-26 05:26

Lovely :D I spent most of the time jumping in the waterfall at the beginning XD

tarian 2014-08-26 10:33

Amazing game. 10/10, you need to release this.

pxlcoder 2014-08-26 13:31

Beautiful.

loren 2014-08-26 15:33

This was really well done :) Awesome game, nice job with, well, everything!

p4nurge 2014-08-26 17:50

This is absolutely beautiful! The music and artwork is lovely, the gameplay is very clever and perfectly judged, the understated story of opposites helping one another is gently poignant. Very polished entry, one of my favourites so far.

xaychru04 2014-08-26 19:18

Awesome game! The idea of playing around with fluids in different perspectives is really cool, and I really like the art style, I spent a few minutes playing with the waterfalls! ^^

eastes 2014-08-27 04:22

Great game! Brilliant idea. I can imagine this getting very tricky in some levels. I wonder where this will plot on your results graph. Are you Aussie?

coffeemuggames 2014-08-27 09:00

I really enjoyed playing it, great game!

pythong 2014-08-27 09:25

nice job! from all the switch-worlds-between-two-players games here in LD, this one (currently ;) ) is dmy favourite
especially for the cute faces on the boxes and the fittig music

kevinzuhn 2014-08-27 12:38

This is really cool, if sometimes finnicky and teeth-clenchingly difficult! I especially like the waterfalls and the smooth transition between the players' worlds.

rfmteam 2014-08-27 19:49

I like everything about this, the levels are very well though. The only but is that the music loops can get a bit repetitive, but maybe am taking a too long to solve some of the screens!

nightshadow0 2014-08-27 21:53

LOVE the music. Absolutely perfect use of the theme, right from the description in this page, and very clever level design. Not sure about the limited fields of vision though, they seem to mostly promote backtracking for no good gain. Great work!

dickpoelen 2014-08-28 10:24

Nice! love the waterfalls

little-burrito 2014-08-28 11:40

Lovely, intelligent platformer. I love the music for the bright world, but the other one is a bit TOO drastic for me, although I see the point. In its current state it's a bit too unforgiving for me - I was at the last level for a very long time, and being forced to restart immediately when one of your characters has died made exploring the level unnecessarily tedious. Overall an absolutely amazing game, very polished and very well done. I'm impressed!

anssipe 2014-08-28 18:52

Great design and nice graphics. Good puzzles though got stuck at last... Only controls may need some fine tuning but overall a really awesome game.

logan 2014-08-29 00:45

Cute and well implemented! There were some pretty nasty puzzles in there for what simple elements were at play.

papygaragos 2014-08-30 11:56

It felt a bit repetitive at the begining (especially lvl 2 and 4, or 3 and 5 which for me are the same challenge) and I was afraid it would be a big repetition of always solving the same thing... but it was not

Good job

mrexcessive 2014-08-30 12:46

Hi there. Lovely take on coop-different worlds. Really nice puzzles and world physics. Including tutorial very good job. Like the waterfall very much. Camera change focus nice. Good pixelart and chiptunes.

mipi 2014-08-31 20:45

It was really great! I just missed the ability to pull the boxes as now they got easily stuck to corners after pushing them with incorrect (too small) force, so it was a bit trial and error to figure out how the boxes move. Then later the levels got long and there was maybe too much backtracking for my taste. Would have wanted to complete the game but had to give up there.

krisdevelopment 2014-08-31 22:24

Amazing job, I like the game a lot :P

gfm 2014-09-02 10:36

Amazing game! I really liked the main mechanic, and how the worlds are different (the color palette, song and dangers).

Graphics are really simple... but also well done and cute! And that waterfall... just... wow!

Congrats

lotusgame 2014-09-02 22:37

Brilliant ! One of my favorites ! Congrats :)

jukimv1986 2014-09-05 02:04

SUPERB. 6/5 stars. I am in love with your game. Neat graphics, best audio I've seen, really well polished. Awesome job!!

connors 2014-09-08 14:38

The graphics design and audio really are brilliant.

The puzzles with two characters may have been done before, but I really like how it works in this game. The simple graphical details like the circular effects and particles and cool waterfalls make it so much more interesting. 5/5 would play new levels.

ditto 2014-09-08 15:55

This is pretty gorgeous <3

micahcowan 2014-09-08 16:36

What a fantastic entry! Loved the challenge of the last few levels.

wdebowicz 2014-09-08 17:00

Very good entry. Addictive game. I love the water splash effect.

tbamberg 2014-09-08 21:45

Great design, solid controls. Music was great!

mrjohnson22 2014-09-09 03:24

That was a lot of fun! I'm impressed by how many levels you were able to put in here, and by the variety of the game's puzzles. You did a very good job of introducing mechanics with simple challenges to prepare the player for the more complex puzzles ahead, especially given the level of experimentation involved in using all of the moving parts (blocks/characters as shields/platforms) provided in every level.

I also can't forget to mention the waterfall effect, which was really cool! It also served as a significant gameplay mechanic, so kudos for making a nifty graphic effect that has a direct impact on level design. The music was also a great way to emphasize the different mood of each character, although the "happy" song was way better than the "angry" one. The level of all-around polish is also very impressive. Overall, nice work! You can definitely beef this up into an even bigger game.

chuigum 2014-09-09 04:40

Great innovation, Awesome graphics, music, and gameplay. I love the puzzles, fantastic job!

hoyt-hoy 2014-09-09 10:12

loved game!
Nice to play, smart puzzels.
Congrats!

stevesalmond 2014-09-10 09:07

Wow, brilliant. Made me realize how much I have to learn about making games.. o.O Awesome work :)

sheepolution 2014-09-10 21:46

Lovely game! It has a lot of levels and some of them kept me thinking for a while. Great job!

clownaround 2014-09-12 04:03

Very nice. Water effects are excellent.

mcapraro 2014-09-14 16:55

this has to be one of my favorite games of the competition, really really amazingly crafted, great concept, and challenging gameplay. congrats on the really awesome entry!

jimmypaulin 2014-09-14 19:05

Extraordinarily good, highly accomplished and FUN, congratulations! The puzzles built in complexity really nicely and all the controls and physics felt very solid and never unfair. The transition between the characters and change of music and tone was a masterstroke, really enjoyed this

artamus 2014-09-15 19:43

Very nice game. I especially loved the audio and the character design.

drcicero 2014-09-16 00:51

Great!
