This is an excellent game! The pixel art and color palette are on point, and the gameplay is great ^^
really solid! I love the look of everything too! Great job :D
One of my favourites so far. Cool intro, nice pacing, solid level design.
Gameplay is interesting, and well explored.
Dont like the fact, that you Jump with W. Doesnt feel right to me.
However, I really really love, the soul split process. Sound, color etc. gives me a great sence of mysterie and impact.
Well done!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! During playtesting, we found W to be the most comfortable key for jump and I can understand your frustration.
Beautiful!!! The sound when the soul leaves body gives chill love it!!! The last level HARD AF tho:DD. Disconnecting your soul and changing direction mid-jump and also jumping bruh :D. You basically have 3 jumps which I think is super cool! Well done
Really awesome game! The pixel art is absolutely beautiful, and the gameplay mechanics are awesome! The levels are super satisfying, this whole game is really really good! Amazing job!
One note: you can totally cheat by spamming jump and "leave body" at the same time, if you press fast enough you can just keep granting yourself jumps and then just fly up and through the levels. It's not a big deal, but it was pretty funny to do, haha!
yeah the soul spamming was a bug that was found out too late to be fully fixed, but I'm glad you liked it!
Using W to Double Jump was frustrating for me. It mad the first level difficult. Its OK with practice but still :-) Regardless everything else is a really good game with good ideas and fit of theme plus nice art and sound to boot
i can understand the frustration of W as jump, but during our playtesting we found it the most comfortable. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
W for Jump is great but the double jump felt awkward to me for some reason. Anyhow excellent game.
Awesome game! I really like this form of being "Joined together", and it makes for some interesting mechanics too! The characters are cute, and the audio fits perfectly too, great job!
nice game.
Too me, this is a model example of what a game jam game should be. It fits the theme perfectly, has great fluid mechanics, has great art, and has great sound design. The level design is also well done and pretty inventive. Excellent job!
Although the controls are a bit weird at first, I get used to it. I really love the art, reminds me of celeste.
W as jump and Space as swap was awkward, I always tried to jump with space. Graphics and sounds are really nice!
i agree it is awkward at first lol. thanks for playing!
Art is amazing and I love the gameplay mechanics, really fun. Great job, my favourite submission so far!
that means a lot, thank you!
such a creative idea! bravo! i loved it from the art to the level designs! great job!
thank you! so glad you enjoyed it
Great concept and really good execution.
I found jumping with w and swapping with space awkward since I'm so used to using space to jump. I would've preferred using Shift or something for the soul control stuff.
Great work overall! I think there's a good bit of potential for expanding the idea with other obstacles that only affect the soul or the body specifically and such
we also found it strange at first but it felt like the best place to keep it. thanks so much for the play and feedback!
Nice game. Our submissions have the same name by the way... lol!
Good luck!
great minds eh?
Exactly! Haha
Such a cool puzzle/platformer game. Really nice theme interpretation and good art.
thank you! i'm glad you enjoyed your playthrough :)
Really good idea! I loved the idea, the art and the game feeling were perfect. I liked this game and I think it has the potential to become a full game.
thanks so much! we'd love to expand on this idea in the future
I love the execution on this idea. If you gave the soul or the body a unique platforming mechanic that differentiates it from the other one, I think there would be a ton of different cool ideas to explore on top of whats already here. Good work :)
thanks so much! we dabbled with other ideas but decided to keep it minimal to meet time requirements. thanks for the play!
I really loved the idea! A bit too hard too soon but I managed to complete it. The "empty" sound design and the "fwoomp" when you leave the body is great. Keep it up!
I agree, a few of the levels were tough, but who doesn't love a good challenge ;) thanks for playing!
This is stellar, the concept make for cool jumping puzzles mechanics, the artstyle is really nice and the sound effect gives it a really good eerie feeling. I loved it
thanks a bunch for playing! glad you enjoyed
