In what way does your game fit the theme?
When the characters are fused, they can shoot and are stronger together. Also, two players are stronger together than one :)
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, except for some environmental assets and sounds, and code ...learned from Brackeys tutorials

Wow, graphics is amazing. Characters are so cute and nice! I think you can use them for another game or continue this idea, add more features, some survival stuff.
Thank you! Yes we're keen to build on this game and tweak it a little more.
What a nice atmospheric game, good job!
Yeah really awesome concept. Kinda hard to aim and shoot using both at the same time lol.
Damn, the visuals, the sound an the ambientations are incredibly good, and the game is very enjoyable. I wish I had some friend to play his game in coop (sad Naruto music in), it seems to be funnier with a company. Greetings mate, you did an amazing job!
Thank you! Yea it really is a lot more fun with a friend :)
The game was beautiful...I found it difficult playing both characters but I enjoyed it.....
The music was good went in with the dark theme........
Thanks! The main game music was actually simple piano music played backwards to give a weird dark tone.
Very beautiful game and fun. It gets repetitive after a while though, with no way to progress.
Very very cool game mechanics. I would have liked the 2 players to look a little bit more different so to more easily spot which one you are controlling, maybe the one lighter than the other one or something. Depending on whether the fused characters has to be stationary for the intended game, one player could maybe move and the other one shoot. But five stars overall :)
Yea we actually wondered whether one should move while the other shoots, maybe it's something we could test out in the future. Thanks for the feedback!
I really liked the general feel of the game and it looks! It was rather challenging playing it alone though! I gave it a couple tries, find y video review below:
1:00:30 KindlingShows that we really need to lower the difficulty! Sometimes you forget how difficult it is when you've been playing it over and over again. Thanks for playing and the vid!
It's the common trap when game deving, same issue with my game, I thought it was rather easy but everyone seems to struggle haha
Really great polished game! The lighting and art look amazing and I love the music and sounds. The character and world design are a really nice feature of the game too! The movement and shooting feels like much more interesting version of controlling two characters and I really enjoy it! Amazing job!
Thank you!
For some reason when I click the P key I get these strange grey boxes that appear under the cursor but other then that I really like style and idea of the game!
Oh haha thanks for that, will fix when we can update!
Well done game! Really like the art style, simplistic and unique ^_^
This feels super polished, well done! The atmosphere is fantastic. Seems to have a rather steep learning curve, but I got used to it.
I'd appreciate it if you would take a look at my game as well.
Nice graphics and the music is cool. Gameplay is nice and i love the stacking mechanics (just like cs go) :D
Cheers!
visually, this game is amazing! Everything from the title screen, to the level & character animation, to the die screen looks great! Using having one person control two characters is a pretty difficult mechanic to master as a player. While it is hard to get used to at first, I was able to get used to it and be able to play the game fairly well. Overall, good job!
I'd appreciate it if you could play/rate my game as well! :)
Thank you! Will check out your game.
The visuals of the game are just great, you are immediately drawn into the game, and the sounds serve it nicely. My only remark would be that the shooting, and particularily the aiming part of it, lacks in intuitiveness, as it's really tough to rotate well in order to shoot enemies quickly. Once that's fixed tho, the game has great potential, and leads to really comic situtations, as you are yelling to your partner to fuse in hurry to defend the fire :)
Overall, great submission, and fun cooperative game !
Thanks for your feedback, glad you enjoyed it! Yup, definitely a few things to tweak with the gameplay going forward.
Great idea and visuals, fits the theme perfectly! The atmosphere is really well done. Nice work!
Very nice general feel.. design, gameplay, music, sfx! I would love to play some more. Nice job Cookiecrayon
Cheers :)
Very nice game. Good job!
Incredible visuals, good mechanics. Very good job!
The art and music fits perfectly together. Very nice game. Good concept and fits the theme. But it is very hard to play solo. But well. That also fits the theme of the jam, right?
Thanks! Yup we had also considered a 1 player option where the difficulty was set a little lower.
I had the same problem with my game. I wanted it to be against a timer, but that made balancing for one or two players difficult so I decided to go for a "optimize your moves" design.
