In what way does your game fit the theme?
The game is a 2D platformer that requires the player's teamwork to light the way for each other as they traverse the levels.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
The code is written entirely by myself, though most of my assets were free assets from the Unity Asset Store.

Control of the character was well done. The game was pretty difficult though - especially because my wife and I kept on getting stuck and the very bottom of the diagonal parts, and from there one can not recover.

Anyway, good implementation, and I liked the idea of expanding eachother's lights. Good job implementing the masks and the lighting :)

Indeed a difficult one. Tried with my son and also alone - really challenging level 1 even. Art, characters, animation and controls smoothness are on top level though!

I played the game alone as well.  It was challenging.  I quit some time after reaching level 2, it was too difficult to make my fingers do what I needed them to do.  I really like the art here and everything feels really nice.  At some point do we get to swing that sword?  

Please rate my game if you can.  It's got a story about a boy and a dog.  Thanks

The sword is not currently implemented but definitely could be in the future. Thank you for playing.

I played the game alone, trying to control both at the same time! It`s really fun! And the controls where first quality!

Great job!

Please, give a try on my game too!

Couldn't play the game. The menu didn't do anything 🤔

There seems to be some weird glitch where using space freezes the game. You can navigate the menu with the up and down arrow keys and using enter to select instead of space. Thank you for playing.

Really cool looking game with very smooth platformer controls. Unfortunately I was unable to view the controls menu, so I had no idea how to interact. Space also seems to freeze the game. 

It would be cool if you could check out my game too and give it a rating. https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/925013

There seems to be some weird glitch where using space freezes the game. You can navigate the menu with the up and down arrow keys and using enter to select instead of space. The interact key is the A key for the first character and down arrow key for the  second character. Thank you for playing, and hopefully that makes the game playable for you.
