Love the music!
Not really clear mechanics, nice art and user flow, but defenetly needs polishing.
But still a cool game!

I enjoyed playing this. The water shaders and paralax effect are done coolly

All characters in game are adult, all is good!
@xxxi Thanks for feedback!

Clever take on the theme! I think the art was definitely your strong suit - the character sprites and environment were gorgeous, and it's clear you spent some dedicated time developing the characters and story.
Also, I'm a sucker for seeing 2d sprites reflected in water, so that's always going to win my vote ;)
Gameplay-wise, I think there's some room for improvement, but mostly on the technical side. Particularly I noticed that the double-jump would almost always get triggered unless I was tapping the spacebar super quick. I think perhaps the double-jump check was looking for the space bar being helled, rather than the space bar being pressed that frame. It would have made the platforming a lot smoother if that wasn't so precise.
I didn't make it to the end, unfortunately it was just really easy to die and it kept me from wanting to go back and try the same section of the level again.
Technical issues aside, a pretty good entry and I had fun playing! Good job :)
@andrewkennedy Thanks for feedback!
We are glad that you liked our game!
We noticed your attention to our issues, we hear you and will fix it in first day patch
Thx a lot for your time, it was really important for us!
I like the core idea of switching between characters with different abilities in this way, reminds me a lot of The Lost Vikings on Sega. I'm amazed how you managed to put together such a huge level full of puzzles with so many art assets! And an original soundtrack! :O I also found quite fascinating that section when characters meant to be pretty far away from each other, that section gave off completely different feels as opposed to when the characters were close together - nice gameplay storytelling. I just wish there were no sudden death pits, I mistook one for the way forward at some point :D
@detectivelosos Hi C# dev here, thanks a lot for such a warm words, thats really means a lot for me as developer^)
@detectivelosos Thanks for feedback!
We are glad that you liked our game!
Thanks a lot for your warm comment, this is really make sense.
Our level-designer is also will be glad for your comment about level-design.
The good vibes emanate through your art, overall design and gameplay. I really felt quite attached to the characters from the get-go and combat is hard but rightfully challenging. Congratulations !
The first thing that strikes when launching the game is how crisp the graphics and audio are. The vibe with the two characters reminds me of games from Team Ladybug. The level design gently nudges you into mastering the gameplay, which is rare enough in a gamejam to be mentioned.
Also, great take on the theme!
Nice work. I like the swap mechanic. It did make me feel like I was constantly needing to double track though. Other than that, it was quite enjoyable.
@laniph Thanks for feedback!
We are glad that you liked our game!
Our artists is pleased with your good words to our game and art especially
Thanks you a lot!

Thank you very much!
@storeyware Thanks for feedback!
We are glad that you liked our game!
Yes, that was the main usp in our project and we are pleased that everything to your liking
Thank you very much!
This game has a lot going for it!
Loved the core mechanic of switching between characters! Lilith and Agness feel very unique to each other which makes switching between them very fun!
Everything felt well explained through the wooden signs and overall was well paced. Music was very peaceful and charming, really helped went well with the games overall art style.
A bit of polish is needed to fix up some bugs but overall well done!
@meepster
Thanks you a lot about your very warming words, it's really important to us
We are glad that what we created was liked you a lot!
Our team really apreciated it!!!
Great work!
Audio was a stand out for me, it was very clear and sounded great!
Visually I found the particles when killing to be pretty enjoyable, and the art style in general was appealing to look at.
Design wise, some things could use some improvement. Double jumping seemed to activate automatically if I didn't quickly let go of spacebar. Combat would get a bit finicky at times, especially with hitboxes feeling a bit too small. That said, the swap mechanic was pretty interesting and fun to play with.
It should be noted that I found a bug where I fell into some spikes as Lily and went into negative HP without losing the game.
Overall, solid game, keep it up!
@missingpixel
Thx for the feedback and warm words, first day patch is on the work, so, we gonna take ur feedback and will tryna improve some gameplay and level-art aspects
Beta Studio Appreciate it! <3
Very nice puzzle platformer ! The graphics is really on top ! Unfortunally the zoom/dezoom of the view create aliasing on sprite (3d sprite because of unity) or maybe its because the character art is more detailled than the background draw, but that's a choice that make the game completely clear and understandable. The hitbox of the ennemies are huge and difficult to really understand, these made the fighting not very satisfaying. The web version on the Ludum Dare website take an eternity to load i recommand to use the itchio web playable version.
Awesome !
Cool mechanics! It was fun to play! :)
A very interesting game! I liked the mechanics and their implementation. A very cool visual, as well as an interesting idea with the personalities of one character. The characters and mobs have good animation, the sound design is very cool! I really enjoyed playing this game)
Excellent work on the level design to give you enough to fully discover the mechanics of the game, it works but lacks excitement, graphically that's its strength! A pleasure to have been able to discover it. Thank you very much, a small success for the boobs promise!
Good art, the mechanism of two people switching cooperation makes me think of some two-player games, in the operation feel can be greatly improved, the player's attack range may can be larger, but it is really cool to hook the monster.
Look potential, I love the design and art style. Maybe the only thing that I feel down is to have to control the second one to follow the first one. It's ok if each stage space is short. Good work <3
Needs a good ammount of polishing but the base is there. art is ok, mechanics is not bad, probably best suited for a coop game whit the swap mechanic
I was a cool experience playing this game! I like the idea and simplicity of controls. Though, I had some troubbles with audio - it repeats itself and causes a cyclic set of sounds
I really enjoyed the core concept here, although the prototype could've used a little more polish, for example on the platforming physics or being able to attack in a direction while walking in another. The art is very detailed for the screen size/camera angle so either making it simpler or getting the camera closer could help with clarity. Overall interesting concept, nice work!
Great game! Reminds young me playing flash games with nothing to care about
хорошая игра, много детализации, очень радует глаза, музыка расслабляющая, геймплей прикольный, одна из лучших игр которые я видела
Really like the girls, especially on the cover, however the characters seem like they don't really blend in with the backgrounds
Prety good graphics. And well done mechanics for summoning one another
Well done!
As a composer, I think the soundtrack suits the game narrative perfectly :notes:
Thanks you all for your heart warming comms! Our team really appreciate it!
You are breathtaking!

Very nice game. Well done! Mechanics were nicely designed.
@fumybulb Thanks a lot! I've spent a decent time making it and that is very inspiring to hear from a composer!
Make sure to check out the full ost on youtube, we will add rest of the music with day one patch!
Enjoyed the game, I like the swap user mechanic. The art was superb!
I saw the art when it was being made and was excited to try it out! Excellent platformer, beautiful art!
very beautiful game, I really like the visuals and interesting mechanics that remind me of the games I played as a child. great job!
nice platformer! Cover made everyone want to play it)) Soundtrack just awesome!!!
I liked the character switching mechanic. It's a creative mechanic that gives good possibilities in relation to gameplay. It was fun to think of solutions to get through different parts of the level.
I really liked the graphics, especially the parallax effect was very well done.
I witnessed each other bug, in particular a bug that made me walk through the wall with one of the characters. But I believe I managed to play the essence of your game.
Good job.
OMG the music is truuuuuully cool !!! I had fun, the art work, some polish and effect on the visual are a great point for the game. The plateformer part is easy to use, really good entry !
I liked the game
This is truely great. well done on the art and music. mechanics could use some polish, but I would be happy to see this fleshed out to a whole game on steam. its really good, you should be proud.
A really nice and simple concept executed well. It could turn into something great. The music is nice
Beautiful drawings and a good concept
pretty ladies 🥺
The audio setting i set in the beginning of the game instantly toggled back to max, blasting my ears off - had quite the shock!
The graphics are super nice overall. One thing i feel like i was missing - which made me stop midway through, as having to bring my other "personality" to me all the time - where lily feels fun & fast, agness feels slow. If i could maybe walk with both at the same time that would be cool i think :D
Very well done platformer with a character mode swap. Reminds me of lost vikings :)
Amazing game! This gave me Fireboy and Watergirl vibes, felt a little nostalgic.
Cool Game! Love gameplay
I really love the look of the game, great job on that front! The sound design and music were also very nice.
However, the gameplay felt a bit slow. I feel like the Lilith character needs something more to do, other than being a dedicated button-presser. Her movement feels very nice, so I think you need to utilize it in some way.
Nevertheless, it's a very impressive-looking game, and I'd like to see more of it! :smile:
This game is just bomb!
Thank you for the stream submission, this was fun to play! Keep up the good work!
@parkuhrmd Thank you very much for streaming, we are now working on the corrections that you noticed, we have a small request, do you happen to have a recording of the stream? We are making a presentation for college (the game was practice) with our game and if we add screenshots of how the steamer plays it it will be super useful
@ulziton Of course! Here you go:
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2121478692?t=2h1m56s
Feel free to use the video for your presentation :)
@parkuhrmd thank you very much, we are very grateful
I really liked your game. You did a great job and did a great job!!!
It's pretty good, i suppose
I also liked filming the attacks and character design. It’s interesting to play, even if the physics may sag in places. In any case, I happily completed the game to the end)
the game it's pretty good! great job
pretty fun, needs some polish on the hitboxes and movement speed but otherwise fun. also loved the water, great touch
I love this concept. I would play a full release of this game. Amazing!
instant fives for the arts <3 <3 <3
Thanks you all for your heart warming comms! Our team really appreciate it!
You are breathtaking!
Great art and gameplay, I think my main takeaway is that I would have wanted to see more interplay between the two characters - felt kind of binary about when to use each of them. I would have liked it if Lilith had some use in combat, for example, so i'd get the gameplay of switching between two people during a fight. Still, lots of fun and good execution, great job!
Really fun game! I loved the aspect of having two characters with very different feel and playstyle, and one being non combat focused was a great choice. Loved the little details like the water reflecting and having multiple backing tracks.
I did manage to fall off on a platform while switching once, but other than that it was great! Great job!
Cool platformer, would have worked nicely as a 2 player game, was a bit tedious to switch between them after a while.
really well done in this short amount of time!
The sexual branding elements are little too on the nose for my liking. Obviously, by looking at your ratings, it got you the attention you wanted so maybe it was successful. Still, didn't win you any points from me. *All positive points of this review have been removed for an inappropriate retaliatory comment left on my team's submission.
Great plaformer
Интересная задумка, но по какой то причине очень фризит(устройство тянет baldur's gate 3 на ультрах, скорее дело в игре).
There's a lot in this game - lots of art, lots of visual effects, big levels, music and sound effects, it was pretty fun playing it. The platforming is a bit janky but I blame unity. Impressive work!
Very fun game. Reminded me of fire boy and water girl from back in the day of flash games. The art style is amazing as well. I see 4 big reasons to play this game ;)
@zablas Hello, C# developer here, I’m very glad that the game brought back memories of those times for you.
There was an old game called Fire and ice , its has same gameplay and main mechanic with 2 characters to control but without fighting sections, gameplay is good but not as fun and very easy, music and sound are very good, but graphicly this game is to simple, i also liked the different things about the characters, overall good game...
What you built was pretty cool, and fun enough to play. The dynamic of swapping between the characters was nice, the combat was a bit clunky with so much delay on starting the attack.
Edit: Tutorialization was well done.
The art style is cool, the art content is a bit tasteless in my opinion (but hey, we all have our own opinions).
I gave a fair rating, but it was somewhat classless to leave a rude comment on my team's project when many (probably most) participants in my team are amateurs/hobbyists/students just trying to learn.
awesome game with awesome art
@phoenixgaming hi, I’m a C# developer from this game, sorry that my teammate got so angry, he was responding to your employee’s comment, it didn’t turn out very nicely on both sides, I hope everything is fine and we and you are not particularly offended. We are also students so we understand your situation:)
I liked the switching character mechanic and how one character could attack but the other couldn't.
Hey guys! If the Ludum Dare embed for unity isn't working, you probably need to disable Data Caching in your project settings and rebuild the game in Unity. It's just a quirk of the Ludum Dare website's hosting. DataCachingDisable.png
I liked the switching mechanic, it was fun to manage and use well the two characters There was a lot of instructions on what to do so it was a nice bonus! good game!
Music was nice and clean, graphics crisp, platforming was great. Level design was also nice. Would be a nice co-op game to play, especially if Lily had more to do in combat, but I like the duality of the characters.
I liked the character switching idea most of everything, but the art was good too! a well realized project, I dig it! Good Work!
Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to watch it again in the future heres the vod of the stream (with a chapter for your game)
https://youtu.be/Foe4js2jhJ0?t=4013
Great art and sound! I especially like the background parallax effect. Really sweet! Unfortunately, the basic gameplay itself is kinda janky. Especially the attacking requires some getting used to. Also, was the dash required at any point? Or was it just a flavor mechanic for the combat? Anyway, the level design is good, and I feel it leverages the swapping mechanic nicely.
I enjoyed the character swap dynamic. It was entertaining to be limited in the obstacles you could pass without support from the other character. As I got further into the game, it started to become kind of confusing as to which lever I was supposed to hit and unclear if I missed one, so I ended up stuck.
I did find the players a little small on-screen and would have preferred them a bit bigger, but that's a personal preference.
Overall it was well put together and had everything necessary for quality gameplay. Good job!
Had a fun time playing it! The character swapping was pretty good.
I think the biggest feedback would be that healing feels bad to do. I basically swapped to Lily and took a snack break while I was waiting for the bar to fill up. Was kind of boring, might have seen an improvement if healing was an ability with a long cool down instead of making me wait to get health back slowly.
Another piece of feedback is I could complete about 80% of the level with just Lily. I was forced to use Agness only 2 or so times but could otherwise fly over the level.
Fun gameplay, but audio balance is a bit off. SFX even when master was turned down were very loud.
The art and audio is really well done. The gameplay felt a bit rough and "floaty" to me. As others have alreafy mentioned, this could work really well as a coop game
The swapping mechanic is great - it reminds me of It Takes Two, but for one player. Gotta get both characters all the way through, but they'll have to take different routes. I appreciate the in-game guidance early on as I'm learning the ropes. It makes everything flow naturally. All the details - the particle effects when your weapon smacks something, the parallax background - are great!
The reflections seemed to be off, though? My reflection was somewhere off in front of me at one point. It was mildly disorienting.
Thank you for the gaming pleasure, I love the art, but I wish the characters took up a bit more screen space. Cool idea with different gameplay for different characters. Good job!
This is a gorgeous looking game, excellent use of art and animated hi res sprites! The levels are large, but feel right for their size. Good job on this entry, well done.
I love the feel and how the puzzles are done. It reminds me of Trine, which is high praise because I think the Trine games have some of the best combinations of puzzles and platforming.
It would be nice to not have the various personalities have to be apart for so long, but I understand why that game design choice was made.
The music fits the game super well.
Overall: good job!
The game mechanics reminded me of Limbo or Super Meat Boy with a second character, but with a quieter atmosphere. It works well, the environment is pleasant and it's easy to imagine really interesting additional levels.
Nice work!
I think it's a good idea to show the name of the personality under the portrait. Another problem is when you switch back to the personality you've left far behind. To solve the problem you should either spawn the other personality closer, which will subvert the idea, or work harder on level design.
Other than that, a charming game!
This was pretty fun, and a good take on the theme. I enjoyed the gameplay, although it became a bit stale after some time. Graphics are good (I... "enjoy" the artwork for the game quite a lot as well), however I think the sprites are a bit too small? Everything feels too "zoomed out". Great job on this entry!
Graphics and audio in this game are top-notch. I especially like the drawing of Lilith the White — a very beautiful woman. Unfortunately I only have 6GB of RAM and there was too much lag time with the game itself, though I did make some progress. Music is just as good as the artwork. In general, the idea that you can "summon" different personalities is very imaginative. Nice work.
The mechanic is a good take on the theme, graphics is nice and music is super relaxing. Love this entry!
Nice artstyle and background music. Aside from some character controller clunkiness/jank it doesn't feel like a 3 day jam game at all, well done to all the team!
Really interesting game ! Love the art style and the music ! I was expecting a little camera to show what happen when the Lilith and Agness are far from each other, but that was a really funny game.
Interesting game. Nice graphics and sound. Great work.
The overall art and music is good. Really like the background, but the UI and player characters could improve a bit more. If you zoom in a little bit and make the character jump faster (and shorter) would be nice. Great job, team :D
I love the art and music in this game! You've even got some environmental story telling with the background pieces, nice! The concept is really neat, and the game feels very much complete. Probably one of the only games with a decent tutorial too!
There's so much content and gameplay in it! Came for the art, stayed for the puzzles :D
