Really awesome puzzle game! I honestly had to rack my brain a bit for the last puzzle, but that' what I love about puzzle games: the answer isn't always obvious, so you have to try a bunch of different things to see if it works. Congrats to you guys, super well done and good luck with the jam!
I like the switching mechanic, It's pretty creative. Nice entry :)
Thank you so much!😄✨
the concept is really cool, good job!
Thank you so much😄
Nice little puzzle game! I liked the switch mechanic, it’s pretty fun to use. The pixel art is charming and the audio works well too.
I had a few moments of confusion though. I didn’t check the controls at first and didn’t understand how to get out of the cage, so a bit of in game tutorial on how switch characters would help. The end-of-level mechanics also aren’t very clear.
I didn’t fully understand how to solve the last puzzle with the doors, but I managed to “cheese” it by forcing my way through quickly.
Thank you so much for the feedback, We are working on the last puzzle and would like you to try again when there are no ways except using your brain to get the box out😁, We will text you from our end when it’s done😄👍
Cool game. Very good idea with the character swap.
Glad you like the game.
Cool game, inventive puzzles with main mechanic of switching character. Loved that! Nice atmospheric music! Wish there was a little intro in the game telling me where they are and what happened, showing me the connection for motivation <3 The story is strong, making them come together.
Somebody tell one of them to go through the portal themselves instead ;)
One bug that happened in the second puzzle is I managed to get an item stuck behind a portal. I pressed Q by the portal and on the ladder at the same time and then that happened.
We appreciate you're feedback, and I will check on that bug 😁😁
Nice game :) I liked having to think outside the box ;) in that second level puzzle, very clever!
Glad to know you like the game, could you please specify what puzzle are you referring to? 😁
The one with splitting the box :)
Lovely, So glad that you figured out the puzzle (*wiping tears)
Fun game! The puzzles were really fun and the switching mechanic was well implemented. I accidentally soft locked myself on the second level. One of the doors slammed shut on the box and pushed it into the ground. Besides that bug though the game is great! Good job!
Amazing! Thanks for the feedback 😄✨ We will work on that ASAP!😁👍
This was a fun game, I loved the concept and the puzzles were very engaging and not super straight forward. If I had to give some feedback I would say that the players should run a little faster given how much they need to go back and forth for the puzzles. Also I think I had a bug where the pictures were all placed in the right spot (got the audio cue of a door/wall opening), but it didn't actually open. Or maybe I missed something >:3 Nice job!
Thanks For the feedback, and I think you miss the gate in that same room.
clever puzzles and concept! nicely done!
Thanks for your feedback, casualcozy. We appreciate this😄✨
btw, what about the last puzzle, have you managed to decode that?
The controls and gameplay all felt very smooth! It took me a little bit to figure out how to progress on each level but I liked the puzzles a lot once I figured out what to do!
Glad you figured it out, Thanks for the feedback😄✨

Very nice transition when swapping characters :)
Glad you liked it😄✨

Beautiful game!
I got stuck after I summoned both ladders - I could climb them but got stuck on the ceiling so I couldn't figure out how to progress past that point.
Thank you so much for the feedback 😄✨

Is there an issue with leaving the cage at the start? I pull the lever but nothing really happens. Am I missing something? Please do let me know if I'm just doing something wrong
Same issue for me, pulling the lever up and down but not getting out of the cage.

we are very Sorry guys, we forgot to mention or add our main game mechanic feature. If you press "F" you can switch between players.
Thanks for letting me know! A very fun experience once I can play haha.
just something I noted in level 2. If you walk past a certain point on the bottom level as the girl, the last painting location disappears. Otherwise I had fun! Nice job :)
Thank you so much YeeWhoGames for that feedback, really appreciate this.😁👍

I don't know if it was how I was meant to do it, but I found if I just picked up the box and ran I had enough time to get out from the gate haha! I did enjoy it but.
