Great job! It was easy to grasp and fun to play, which are obviously some of the main boxes to check.

I would love to see (or hear) something that would make the game pop a little more (but I appreciate the minimalist setting as well).

Overall, congrats on a fun brain puzzle!

That was fun to play :D The puzzles are a bit basic but really fun to solve. The minimalistic approach works great for the game i think :] 

The only negative thing i can say is the movement feels a bit slippery like walking on the ice :/ Also some sound effects for jumping or inverting the controls can make the game more responsive and alive.

Overall i loved this one simple fun short great work :D

I captured some "Thomas was alone" vives, right? I liked the twist of the turn mechanic.

Interesting concept with great level design, I didn't know I could double jump at first though so it took a while for me to get past the first level haha

Some of the puzzles were kind of difficult, but I never felt completely lost and was able to complete every level. This game is nice and simple. Good work.

I was confused at the first level TBH :D But then out of frustration, I realized that you can double jump. Sorry, if I missed the instructions somewhere about this ability. Nice game! Kudos

One of the first puzzle games in this jam that I've played through to the end. Nicely done!

Pretty nifty game with some interesting puzzles. Mechanics are simple, I'm sure other games will use the two characters one controller gimmick, but this was fun nonetheless.

A nice puzzle game with some interesting levels, however moving the characters doesn't feel very nice as they are too slow

In my instance, WASD and the Arrow Keys moved my character at different rates. One level in particular required the higher speed to make a jump

Very well designed, not really any art just shapes, but overall had fun trying to figure out how to pass each level! Good job! Just a tip tho: Making the art more appealing might create a richer experience!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I tried to make pixel art graphics but gave up after 30 minutes because I can't do art lol

I couldn't figure out how to pass the first level, I couldn't tell if I was missing something.

You have to jump up the block with the orange character so you can jump over the blue one, then you can space them out with the walls and the pads should line up.

Alright, then it looks like the problem is that WASD moves the cubes, but too slowly for them to be able to jump over. Arrow keys move them much faster, allowing you to jump over. It wasn't clear that there were two different sets of movement controls.

Ooh, that's a bug I didn't know about. I always used the arrow keys and assumed it would work the same with WASD. Sorry about that.

Fun game, some levels are very challenging (can't beat them all). Are the only controls jump and move?

The controls are jump and move, you can reset with R and go back to the menu with Backspace.  I wanted to add more mechanics, maybe with more keys to press but I didn't have any ideas worth implementing (especially since there was a strict deadline). Thanks for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
