Oo, I loved this. The puzzles were really good, I think level 5 collisions were a bit wonky so I had some trouble but managed to push her at the right angle. Level 6, I have no idea what the intended solution was but I think I managed to cheese it by pushing her right when she was falling? 

The audio was pretty cute but it did get a tiny bit repetitive.. The sprites were really cute, especially liked the cover and the sparkles. My best time was 355:15?! 
The polish was great, loved that you had a speed up feature, and a pause menu. Though I noticed that if I tried pausing in the menu, it'd glitch out so I had to restart... but that doesn't take away the gameplay so it's perfectly fine. 

I definitely liked the physics. When she's on a platform, she moves with the platform. The QOL seemed pretty good there, no real complaints. Overall, great work!

Got stuck on the little ledges a few times but otherwise it worked as expected. Really clever mechanics! And excellent artwork. I'm a little sleepy right now so the yawns at the end of each level made me super tired. 5/5 for theme haha

Loved the idea, very cool puzzle concept. Art was simple, but effective and while the music did get a little repetitive, it was good (and you had sound settings which is A+ in my book haha)!  I did get stuck on the fifth level like a few others here - I thought I'd need to shove her to the other side with one of the platforms, but that never seemed to work - curious what the solution is.

Also minor art feedback, while the blue on light blue is a nice choice, I found it a little hard on the eyes. Not a dealbreaker, but it made some of the text in the tutorial hard to read for me. 

All that said, excellent work!

Cool concept, well-designed, fun to play, dreamy art and sound, all around well-made video game. I love the colors you chose!

I couldn't solve the 5th puzzle, but I liked the mechanics and the concept. Great job!

Pretty fun puzzles. I like the mechanics. Music was nice but got a little repetitive. Artwork is great. Overall very good game :)

This is a really cool little puzzle game, and a neat take on the theme!  The concepts are easy to pick up but there's a rich design space there, and I like what you did with the puzzles.  Levels 1-4 were a nice buildup, but I'm still stuck on level 5 (my tiny smooth brain can't figure out how to get Emily over to the left side...).  I probably also would have liked for the 2x speed to be the default, or for my choice there to be remembered between levels, since the first thing I did on every level was click that button and it never felt too fast to me.

Very fun game, and I could see it being expanded to more puzzles.  Nicely done! :)

This is a really neat concept for this jam and I liked it quite a bit! It didn't take me long to get the hang of it at all, and it was fun to play. Great job!

I like the concept, controlling the platforms rather than the character itself is very interesting and makes the game fun and original, great job!

Super fun concept, I got stuck on level 5 but I had a lot of fun with levels 1-4. The possession mechanic makes for interesting puzzles, I'd love to see it expanded on.

Super cool idea and fun to play!

Once I realized what sort of game this was, I got Emily stuck in a wall (Come on! you give me the chance to be a platform, that'll be the first thing I do!)
This was awesome! I love me some puzzlers with possession mechanics! finished the whole thing in about 3 and a half minutes!

Really cool and original puzzles. I am a bit stuck on the fifth level as of now but it's probably just me, good job!

I really like games with such a ghostly double, I have nothing to say. Great game

Good puzzle ideas and an amazing concept too! There’s just one problem: when I turn off the music in the options and switch to lucid mode, the music starts playing again. but overall, it’s a good game!

Amazing puzzle game with cool art, perfectly fitting sound effects, and cozy music. Great execution overall.

Loved the background and little animations. The tutorial and the icons were cute but too text heavy. Might have missed it but would've liked a hotkey for entering/exiting the lucid state instead of clicking. Interesting puzzles though I did get stuck on level 5.

The theme fits perfectly with the game, and the gameplay is very good, plus it’s an amazing idea. Music can be repetitive and graphics can be improved. Solid entry.

Love the puzzles, it was interesting and different. I felt that the scope may have been a bit big because there was so many bugs it became a tad difficult. The blocks needing to be pixel perfect was a bit irritating, sometimes the blocks push her and sometimes it doesn't and sometimes she just would get strangely stuck. Sticking to the theme was genuinely perfect. Music was repetitive in my opinion (I didn't even do music so I may not be one to judge) should likely be quieter.
