Cool game! I enjoyed trying to solve each level, I got a bit confused a couple times but it's part of the fun of it. There were a few times that I noticed that some wooden boxes were able to be moved over spikes and some were not, don't know if that was intentional. But overall great puzzle!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The idea was that everything in the shadows would disappear so the overlapping spikes were a unfortunate consequence, I didn't really know to handle them.
Interesting take on this type of dual-controller puzzle. I do wish that I could just swap between which character I controlled at will vs. selecting at the very start (before knowing what that even meant). It would have made it a lot easier to navigate the world.
A few more earlier puzzles to aid in teaching some of the mechanics would be useful. Thematically, I'm still trying to understand a bit about how the shadows are getting "formed", but that's a story/narrative element maybe. 😅
It's always cool to see something that can evolve beyond a jam.
Thank you for playing!
We thought about adding some info about the mechanics a bit too late, and didn't have enough time to do so.
As for the shadows, the characters are separated by a mirror (left is trapped inside the mirror, right has to guide them to the door), and so whoever's on the left can't see behind the objects because they create a shadow in the mirror (if that makes any sense). And if the left person can't see in the shadows, whatever is there isn't actually there if you know what I mean.
Sorry if it's a bit confusing, it was a bit hard trying to explain what we thought of, lol :')
Also thank you for the idea of switching between which character to control, I think it'd be nice to add something like that in the future!!
A good classic puzzle platformer. Very much enjoyed it and was quite charming to try and attempt the levels!
Amazing idea and game! One of the more fun games I have played. Could definitely see you expanding this idea. There is a lot of potential here.
This is such a fun concept, I love "single player co-op" puzzles! Got me really scratch my head a couple times, well done!
This is a really cool game and concept I really enjoyed playing it. It's very well built and the puzzles are very good and can be very challenging.
Great job!
Nice puzzle game. Got me thinking every step I take.
This really hooked me! Great puzzle game!
Nice puzzle game, some levels were really challenging. Also, I'm not sure if that's a bug, but on one of the levels if I push a wooden box to the left, it gets overlapped with spikes sprite.
i loved the puzzle desings! really good game. the only problem for me is that the music is a little too loud
Nice game! Puzzles are neither too hard nor too easy. Great work!
Really interesting puzzle game mechanic! Some levels are challenging, but it’s both a cool interpretation of the theme and a fun brain teaser. Nice job!
Honestly, bro, the game is really fun and entertaining. I liked it a lot and really enjoyed it. Although, I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t manage to finish it. I got stuck on one level. Maybe I’ll try to beat it later.
Really cool game!! the level design is really peak i enjoyed this entry very much!
I made a game in college with a similar premise to this about controlling two entities (yourself and a reflection/shadow). The puzzle design here is clever along with the usage of the reflection mechanic.
Very entertaining! Well done too. Made me think very hard :D

Really great puzzle game full of those "Ah ha" moments!
This is a really cool game. Good job! :)
The overall atmosphere and immersion were really well done!
I didn’t expect that it would actually be possible to clear the game with just one character, but even so, it was still quite challenging. I really enjoyed the experience overall!
