nice game, i like the art, and the concept is als good. I think the game might have done better with the fireballs aiming towards the mouse though, but other than that, nice game.

Nice game with good visuals! Love your artstyle. Maybe just need to be balanced a bit, it's raising the question "Am I doing all right?" when you shoot fireballs on all you mana, and ghosts just don't die)

I love the aesthetic for this game and its charming appeal!

Pretty fun game! There was a moment where only one of my players got sent to the next level, meaning I was stuck but otherwise the experience was well done! Great art by the way :)

Developer

Glad you liked the game!
The player getting stuck behind is one of the known issues, and as far as we know, it is not very common, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the bug. Going back to the menu and playing the stage from the beginning again should fix the issue

Nice work! Honestly at first I thought, "oh jeeze, another one of the 'you control 2 characters at the same time' kind of game" but this one was easily the most fun and different of all of those. The enemies were tough too! Only thing I'd tweak is the hitboxes of stuff. My shots would hit walls if I was too close to them.  Overall great work!

Glad you liked the game!
We will surely tweak the hitboxes and fix other stuff in the post-jam version.
Thank you for your feedback!

Very challenging! Love the art and the music also.

This has been one of my favorites so far! Really fun mechanics and aesthetics. On 2-8 the button on the shadow side was underneath the UI and it took me a while to find. Not sure if that was intentional or not! I felt that the AI was a little too easy to manipulate and also I would have preferred to just take them out with a single shot just to make it feel a little more fast paced. I also noticed that if you shot the ghosts after they already died it would stall their death cycle (not sure if this was intentional). Great game, I could definitely see this doing well with a bit of polish and a new release!

It's pretty fun! I really like the art style and the sound design.

Very difficult, but quite good. The controls were very good, never got in the way. Great job!

Impressive art and audio! the game was fun but for me the ghosts are a bit tough and I always run out of mana xD

Also the big ghost OwO (weirdly cute lol

Personally I like the design that you fight on one side and find supplies on the other side.

( There're some small bugs but its fine! GJ

Great art style and fun gameplay! 5 stars.

Great job creating a lot of content in only 48 hours. This is a great concept, though a bit difficult to carry out. But you presented it very well, the difficulty was just right. I can only complain about the pacing, maybe reduce shoot delay on enemies and make them a bit easier to kill, and also less obstacles at first so the player get used to adjusting themselves to go through doors.

Nice, I liked the art style and the music is fine.

And I will appreciate it if you rate mine!

Really liked how smooth the movement felt controlling two characters. Got a little frustrated with the short delay after shooting before the bullet comes out because I kept trying to resume panic running away right after I shot, but that just got me killed.

Great music and art though, impressive that you made it during the jam!

Developer

Thank you so so much!! <3

Great game and art style, I found a bug tho while going through door, the left character got stuck behind the door, and I wish the control is more intuitive, overall fun game

Developer

Thank you!
We are sorry for the inconvenience with the bug

Very interesting, the differences in the room even though they move the same is quite interesting, cool concept.

Note: Worked just fine for me in browser

Very glad to hear and thank you!

I really liked your games art and sound. the level design was also really fun! I ran into some bugs (like the big ghost getting stuck behind a wall) but overall I really enjoyed your game!

This game is really hard, but really fun! I love trying to control both at the same time. The graphics are also great, I love the furniture!

Developer

Thank you so so much! So glad you have a good time! :)
