- Nice solid gameplay, amusing story and characters. Felt very Scooby-Doo.
- This was ultra cute and I loved every second of it. The character switching added a great dimension. I'm glad you're one of the few people who realize you don't actually need NINE verbs. Everything about this was great.

I liked this game a lot, and the switching between characters opens up for some nice coop puzzles. I'm definitely keeping this on my hard drive for playing with my kids come Halloween. That said, it's not the best fit for the theme of the jam this time around.
Nice job! Fyi, I found a game freezing bug talking to the ghost when Penny is inside the cabinet. Other than that very solid little game.
Thank you for the bug report! I will try to see if I can replicate it.
A great game to round out your trilogy! Nice and simple, but the character switching keeps it interesting. The character scaling seemed a bit much at first (they seemed too big), but once I got used to it, it added to the charm. I love the creepy paintings and the atmospheric darkness. Overall a really fun game!
What I love the most about this game is how it takes advantage of the two characters for its puzzle design. Well done!
I had a lot of fun playing your third Lil' Henry and Penny game! Your game is really simple, but in that way that you can say that less is definitely more! Looking forward to see your next game!
Amazing work Ben, what a fun and fantastic entry! The swapping mechanic is so well done, and I loved the art, sound, story and dialogue. Very smooth and very funny. Really enjoyed it!
Your Henry and Penny games are always so wonderful!! I'll never not gush about the character swapping mechanic. This played so smoothly, and is so complex mechanically yet feels really simple to get into. Wonderful work as always!!
