Fun little adventure game. I would've liked some more direction on where to go. Also checkpoints would've been nice. Good job!

Did you use any existing assets? If so, list them below.
The logo and the character art in the web page were done by me before the jam. Background music was from Dark Fantasy Studio - Haunted album from a Humble Bundle. All other sprite art, sound fx, and programming was done during the 10 days.

This was a refreshing take on the genre!!
Took me a couple minutes to figure that I SHOULD use the second controls (and it wasn't optional) but after that, the gameflow was nice!
Loved how you interpreted the theme as well! Also liked how you have to really explore the corners of the map to be able to solve the puzzles, haha!
Solid entry! I had fun! 😊😊
Very impressive for a game jam. The game was well balanced overall, the two-world contrast was interesting, the world was large, and included dialogue. Health icons indicating health that were able to be increased. There was a lot of details that you were able to back in this game.
Thank you for the game!
At first I tried to play both characters which was a bit confusing. Then my partner helped, but we died after the second gate and would have had to start all over... checkpoints would be nice. The artstyle was cute, there is potential in the game.
It was fun and intriguing but then I died and I reset to the start :( I like the art and each room really felt like it expanded the map
I really liked the art and the interaction between the two characters. I played it by myself at first, then invited a friend to play with me, and it was just as fun.
cool idea controlling the two characters. I just found it a bit too long to not have any checkpoints, I Enjoyed the personality in the characters dialog. Nice submission
The presentation is spot on with this one, it nails the old pixel art JRPG back during the SNES days. I also appreciate the ability to control both characters with one controller for those who dont have a coop partner.
Your pixel art is beautiful as always. The bantering between the characters is a joy to read. It’s a good thing that I was able to try the game out when you can’t die. Now I need checkpoints. Agreed with a comment below that attack shouldn’t cancel movement. Also would be great if you can figure out a better way for a single person to manage two characters.
Great game! I loved it!
But it would be even better if attacking didn't completely cancel the movement input. For example, if you are holding 'A' to move left and click attack, the character should either stop to attack (or attack while moving), and then resume moving automatically because you are already holding the movement button. Right now, I have to release the key and press it again to start moving after an attack.
Also, it wasn't obvious at first that there was another location to the right. I spent some time in the first area trying to figure out how to destroy the wall, lol. Finally, teleporting between locations feels a bit too abrupt.
But overall the game is cool!
Really nice! Love the art style but it took me longer than I'd like to admit to realize I can attack as the slime haha
I really like the main character ^^ The connection concept is also really well thought out. Overall, this game leaves me with really positive feelings. GJ
I like the story with the connection and the 2 player game. Main menu art is nice!
Nice idea. I think you should make clearer how the rooms are connected, sometimes it's not obvious, and looks random. Other than that, it's a well done game
Nice concept and looks good. Can get confusing to see which side of map you can navigate to.
thing game is very well made, classic puzzles, theres a large map to explore here, good job
Awesome job! Great Aesthetics. 2 character combo is great fun, even being able to just control both myself on keyboard and choose who I wanted to control for a bit.
Maps/camera were a bit off sometimes, couldn't see which part of the side of the screen I could go through or not (bush blocking most of the way but one hole, couldn't see that hole, had to try across the whole side).
And yeah maybe for Jam game wise, would be nice to have a restart after last level complete, mostly because I couldn't judge how close I needed to get to an enemy to attack, kept finding myself surprised I'd run into them.
Loved the characters and story and chat between them. As expected, you've done a great job on this :)
