Liked the core idea, although I don't see how it fits the theme. I was having fun, it was difficult, but doable. Then I hit a really hard jump, and got frustrated.

It was originally suppose to be a platformer with a single controllable platform(the rug) but then I saw how hard it got with that mechanic alone so I added in some other mechanics in the middle to spice it up a bit and introduce the mechanics used in the hard puzzles.  Its a co-op that can be played solo. Playing it solo can be difficult though.

The jump I'm referring to is one on which you have to jump diagonally left to right, while moving the rug between a wall and some clouds. And after that you have to do the same right to left, with no checkpoint in between. It wouldn't have been such a headache if it weren't for the small cloud patches at the bottom of the walls.

I like the idea of playing a co-op game by yourself. I was really having a good time before that jump.

I myself haven't been able to pass that part. A friend of mine managed to though. It truly is too difficult, the only reason I didn't add a checkpoint was to leave a final challenge that only a few can pass alone.  It was the final challenge after all.  Thank you for playing that far and giving that last challenge a go!

I wish there could be some instruction and direction at the start of the game, I'm confused at first what to do until I pressed esc to see you can control a magic carpet, solid game you have here :)
