In what way does your game fit the theme?
You cannot see when the two characters are apart, but when they are together, you can see the maze and figure out where to go
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
yes

amazing implementation of the concept and the visuals are excellent. very unique as well. one thing though. I realized only on level 2 that bringing them together would light up the stage. Maybe that should have been better visualized in the first one since its the core of the game.
Just a bit of a nitpick for you there, other than that excellent. :D
The concept of this game fits the theme really well! I also like the look it has when the lights are on. I would suggest making having the lights turn on sooner, now there really were only a few moments where I could see anything. Maybe you could have the characters themselfs be the lightsource, and make them brighter when they are together? Overall I like the game, well done!
The concept was pretty cool but the physics was very weird. Also, consider making there be a little light when the characters are further apart because the level design made it hard to light up the area when you needed to.
Hey there,
Really like the simplicity of the design here.
My concerns was the collision on the players were a little bit jaggy, and the lights is still dark at times even if the players are close enough.
Anyways, Congratulations on your submission. Cheers!!!
Interesting mechanic, would love to start each level where the blocks are near each other so you know a bit where you can go, or light up the level before it starts and then fade out. Feels a bit bland because there is no audio at all. Other than that, it's a pretty fun game!
Pretty cool concept and idea. It's kind of hard because you have to get super close to actually lit the place up. But yeah it's not that bad and that definitely put more fun in it. Nice work! ^^
It's ccool to see that you took a completely different approch for your game than me - with the same theme. Lighting up, memorizing the path and ececuting it....Great! The only thing missing from this game are some more levels for a final version.
really cool concept, I think the distance between them where the maze still lights up should be a little bigger, most of the time it was impossible to be near enough. Great overall though.
I'd love it if you would try my game
I love the way the two characters cooperate!So refreshing!
I like the way the maze lights up when the players are close. It was a cool idea!
