It's like A Way Out, but in 2D. I like the idea, but why is the resolution 1/4 of the screen, was this tested? Also, the characters moves so slowly, and the dialogue was very repetitive, i.e. i have bad knees so the other guy can move the boxes, or i can't open this door, so the other guy should. got it the first time, don't need to be reminded another 10 times.

Thanks for the feedback. I used most of my time focusing on making puzzles after getting the core mechanics working. So some polish on the mechanics that probably are needed wasn't done.
I chose 720p for the resolution to make it play as an embed, without the need for fullscreen. It was a choice I made to avoid using a lot of time getting scaling working with the Godot export settings.
The character movement seems to be a preference thing. Friends of mine that have tried it likes the speed, but a lot of people on here has commented that it is slow. So for an update, I'll probably look at making a walk speed setting for it.
The puzzle designs are really clever! I had a lot of fun solving them!

Monke IslandHey!
I had to check your game and what do I see?
Crazy how similar our games turned out, right?
I loved the puzzles, very intuituive with a progressive pacing introducing new mechanics along the way naturally.
As it was a jam ofcourse the polish could have improved but it was so good, the only thing which could have been improved I think was giving like 2 rows for players to switch easily? because going back and forth was painful due to fairly slow movement - or the movement speed could be increased ...but then the gate shutting speeds also had to be tweaked.
Anyways, it was an experience for sure!
Thank you for the keeping the sokoban genre alive!

While I Wasn't LookingThanks for the feedback! It was fun to see how similar they are at the core, but how different we impelented it.
It's weird, because for me the movement didn't feel slow at all. But it's feedback I've gotten from a lot of people this jam, so absolutely something I'll take note of going forwards.
I'm glad you liked the puzzles. Funny enough, those where what I was the most worried about.
Good music choice! I do wish the movement wasn't so slow. The level lighting did not feel very prison like. That being said a solid Sokoban game

Get the Banananice work, good puzzles! could use some changes to the player hitboxes when trying to move around, but otherwise a really good job! :)

Parasite PalsGood use of the pal theme with the 2 characters switching depending on what needed to be done!
I love the inside jokes at the beginning. The box colliders are a bit finicky it kinda sticks to me now and then but other than that really good game!
