Really great game. I love how the two characters play together, the graphics are cute, the music is great and it's a very smart platformer. Really enjoyed your game, thanks for that and good job!

I love the main gameplay element very fun and unique, the art is also has a very unique charm overall a very fun experience.

Awesome game- I really enjoyed the core gameplay loop between the two characters.

Quite fun, I particularly like how the design emphasizes the character swapping over platforming prowess (good character control can fix nearly any mistake.) As a neat side-effect, during my playthrough my characters gradually got closer together over time, as I often needed the ghost close at hand to course-correct on many of the later puzzles.

Excellent presentation, just the main menu alone has a ton of love put into it. Being able to course-correct midfall doesn't seem intended, but worked great for me. Nice work!

Really fun. I loved the player art could use some background art though. I loved the music and the idea. Btw I don’t know if you meant this but if you are about to fall in the pit then you could quickly change player and save the player that is about to fall

I appreciate the feedback! Infinite height was definitely something I consciously implemented, as I wanted the player to be able to save a run with quick reflexes to put more of an emphasis of good control over the characters. I definitely understand what you're getting at though, in my next draft I'll try to design levels that help to avoid that. Thanks for playing!

Interesting concept, I think making it so that you have to touch regular ground before you can jump on a second platform or something would help eliminate the cheesing of some of the puzzles by switching to the flying girl and platforming under the dude after jumping.

I definitely agree! In the next version, I'm going to add a limited number of platforms per level to eliminate the cheese.

Awesome game! Fun concept and a consistent color palette. The soundtrack was really catchy too. Only problem was that it took me a while to figure out how the platforms worked. Great job.
