This was a fantastic little platformer! It was interesting how you made these two bots work together to add a puzzle twist to the game. I can’t even say if this is a platformer with a puzzle twist or a puzzle with platformer elements. I liked it anyway.

The fact that when you die, the level doesn’t restart from the beginning is really helpful. I had a chance to appreciate it quite a few times before I understood that firing your guns could get you sliding far… :)

Some of the jumping was probably too pixel-perfect for my taste, especially if this is a mixed-genre game. But I’m not a big expert on platforms. Thank you for your game!

that was a solid game!

i do think some of the gameplay gets a bit repetitive,as the game really doesent get harder or more challenging as it goes on,i think you also missed an opportunity to give the two robots a bit of personality by having them give a few lines of dialogue, disuccsing how it feels to switch bodies, why they have a soul in the first place,their objectives and how they got there.

visually the game is nice, i like the backgrounds and the robots feel distinct from eachother, tho a lot of assets have very different pixel sizes from eachother,especially the terminals.

either way really fun game, and id be curioyus to see what you would have done given more time,:)

fun concept! I think it has a lot of potential.
There's a bug with the big guys attack not always breaking the boxes. 

If you set your stretch mode to canvas items, you won't have to worry about your game losing screen space in small windows or full screen. I couldn't see the start button until I full screened.


The small guy should keep a little bit of momentum when you jump, just to help feel like you're going fast. 

The blind jump in the last level is a bit mean.

I really liked this entry overall though. With some polish and a story, this could be a really cute game!

I forgot to mention, you did a fantastic job with all the art!

Sweet! I really loved the game mechanics and the art style! I second Lick about some of the precision platforming, but I really love the two character move sets and the different feels in how they move.

Super cute characters and gorgeous art, neat mechanic and some well thought out levels, though the precision platforming is a little frustrating. Would have loved even just some basic music or sound but overall great job!
