Very lovely game, though a bit sad concept

it's fun to play, a bit challenging but not too much:)

Very cute and fun

I wish there was a way to hold the current position instead of wiggling back and forth, but that might just be a personal preference. Needing to come together while also dodging the rocks is a fun idea!

I like this one, Interesting take on the theme.

Nice work! It's a small twist on an existing game type, but it can potentially create quite interesting consequences

The difficulty on this one is like playing two games of flappy bird at the same time! The art is cute, I especially love the heart particles when you come together. You should consider putting this on mobile! I could see myself playing this on my phone occasionally to try to beat my last score!

I really appreciate your comments, thank you! I do want to make it mobile friendly and if the game gets an overall positive response after the jam I'll definitely do it
