Extrordinary idea and very well executed! The story is brilliant, the art is beautiful and the game mechanics are clever. Kept me and a friend playing for 20 minutes - one of the best entries I played so far!
Wow thank you for the kind words! We're glad it kept you playing for that long!
Really great game!
The level design was brilliant and you got a lot out of the very simple mechanic.
I got stuck around level 6 which I think was a bit too hard, but maybe that's just me :)
Overall it's great idea and you executed it really well.
We're glad you enjoyed it! Level 6 was indeed pretty hard, It's not just you :)
That's such a nice game. Great job! Very creative and fluid. No suggestions from me.
That's so nice to hear! Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed our game
Cool Idea!
Really liked the last puzzle, stumped me for a little bit.
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed it!
I love the concept cause SAME
We're glad you enjoyed it!
The story premise is such a nice touch! Generally attached to X and Y now, and I'm just going to imagine they got back to their engines after the last level!
Love the core gameplay too, really encourages plenty of solutions to the puzzles! :)
We're glad you enjoyed it! X and Y did indeed get back to the game engine, We just didn't have time to do an outro cinematic
Great story concept, really fun game concept and well executed. Puzzles were interesting and not too difficult, but weren't too easy either, and the bespoke soundtrack does wonders for the theme and style. Great job!
Thank you for the kind words! We're glad you enjoyed it!
Took me a while to understand that each characters can scale a different axis, but besides that, had a lot of fun. Very fun concept!
Thanks for the feedback! We're glad you enjoyed it!
What you've made here is a VERY cool game that is almost didn't "get" while playing, here's why:
I didn't get at first that each character is controlling a different axis, that platforms scale both directions, and it's not very clear that X can do it from both sides. It might need a bit more tutorialization, more distinct characters maybe? It also is a testament to your (too?) intuitive design for the first puzzles: I simply tried to bring each character to its platform, and it worked naturally, leading me to thinking that platforms had a built-in scale direction.
I'm writing all this criticism because they're minor issues, and because when I understood the mechanics it immediately clicked and my brain EXPLODED because how cool the concept was: that's an excellent start for a future game, and I'd buy it. Congratulations!

Thanks for taking the time to write this feedback! We're glad you ended up enjoying the game :)
Really cool game, nice mechanics, smooth gameplay. I really enjoy playing.
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed it!
I really love the concept, the graphics are super cute—it's adorable! The idea of puzzle games for two is fantastic (we struggled, but it was fun, hahaha).
We're glad you enjoyed it!
This game is the perfect execution on a puzzle with scale and u made it unique with 2 different players. The art theme is very cute and honestly perfect. This game is just perfect from all departments art, music/sfx, and game mechanics. Beautiful work!
We appreciate your kind words and happy to hear you've enjoyed our game :)
So game is such a cool idea and such a great execution. Very well done. It's cute and very original. This absolutely feels like a puzzle game on steam. I'm jealous of the creativity and game design that went it into.
Thank you very much!
I want to say, incredible polish. Although the characters felt a little slow. The puzzles were fun and engaging. The mechanic is done really well. Honestly, is basically release-ready (for a short and simple browser game!).
Thank you for the honest feedback, we are happy to see people enjoy what we created :)
This is incredibly well-polished for a game jam. The characters feel nice to control, the puzzles don't feel janky, and the mechanic is well-integrated. It is only one mechanic, but that one mechanic is done well. For a full game I'd like to see a bit more, but for a game jam, that's more than enough. Excellent work.
Thank you very much! We enjoyed making this game, maybe after the jam, we'll expand the idea and make more mechanics :)
Super nice game, enjoyed the opportunity to play in the two-player mode. Also nicely fitting the jam's theme :)
Yay! We made two characters so making it a coop game was something we felt was a good direction towards making it more enjoyable. Happy to hear your feedback!
This game is INCREDIBLE! All of the art is absolutely amazing, the idea is SUPER creative, and the gameplay was extremely enjoyable. This has some serious potential to be a really successful full game if it were to get some more mechanics and a more fleshed out story. Even in its current state, it is absolutely amazing. Fives across the board. Outstanding job!
WOW, thank you so much for leaving such a nice and supportive comment. We appreciate the time you've put into playing our game and are very happy to hear you've enjoyed it :)
This is an excellent game and amazing interpretation of built to scale
Thank you very much!!
What an adorable story, loved the vibes for sure!
Happy to hear you say that! Thank you :)
Story is so cute and concept!
Done very good and polished, music vibe fits perfectly.
I admire you for creating a coop game :)
Thank you very much! We are happy to hear you've enjoyed the coop!
