A bit awkward and uncomfortable key placement. In a meantime, the game has the potential to be a great multiplayer.

Note: Never map things to symbol keys. (in this case ;:) Those are different on most keyboard layouts so I physically cannot press that key without changing my keyboard layout.

That said, after doing so, this was quite neat.

Yeah, others have pointed this out already - we just hadn't realised, but at least we know for the future. Thanks for persevering with it though! ๐Ÿ˜

Really great game, I went solo and still really enjoyed it! Loved the mechanics and overall vibe and music to it, really solid all round. Great work!

Thanks  ๐Ÿ˜ Glad you enjoyed it. Ben did a great job of the music and SFX  ๐Ÿ˜Š

Wow, this game needs more reviews! it's extremely original and extremely good! With some time in polish, I could see this doing well on steam! Great work!

Thanks, that's very kind of you to say  ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Sorry, but since the semicolon is somewhere completely different on a german keyboard I can't play it :(

Yeah that sucks. Sorry about that, we had no idea ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

The Shift Key You Drew Look Like The Space Bar For Me And I Think WAD and JIL Would be a little better But Everything Else Very Good 8/10

 We'll take 8/10, Thanks ๐Ÿ˜

Took me half a second to understand the mechanics since I managed to cut through an early puzzle but having one of the Bros bounce on the head of the other bro to avoid an obstacle, but after a quick read of the instructions to recognize the Shift key, I started having a good time! The tractor beam sound is a very satisfying one, and I liked seeing the bros go -_- when they were pulled in lol. I think overall you made a solid game for this jam!

We went through quite a few iterations of the beam sound, so I'm glad you liked that ๐Ÿ˜

My controls worked fine. It was very fun, no - it was extremely fun. The puzzles weren't too hard and it was very fun doing them. And the level where the water goes up was the best! You should add more pressure levels like that one. Also idk if that was a cave but the place with the red walls was a little bit too dark. Overall it was excellent! Good job!

Thanks Vulpes -  We were a little worried the rising water level would be too hard and put people off, so I'm really glad that a) you were able to get through it and b) you liked it!

Controlling the right brother didn't work with my german keyboard.

same for me unfortunately

Sorry guys - we hadn't thought about non-English keyboards (bit of a d**k move on our part I guess). The rules of the jam don't allow us to change it until voting's over either, sadly.

Is it just that the semi-colon is in the wrong place?

Submitted

No problem. It is such a short time - you did great. Yes, just the semi-colon. On my keyboard on that key this funny character is sitting: ร–

Even though it's simple, I love the art.

Oh no - I can already tell that's gonna go straight to our artists head! ๐Ÿ˜‚
