cool concept, it was a bit hard to control both of them at the same time!

I don't think the game likes my monitor's aspect ratio (8:5) The left and right edges of the game were cut off, took me a while to notice there's a separate end for Joe in the very first level of the game.
After changing the pc resolution in the settings (to fit a more common aspect ratio of 16:9) I've been able to see the rest of the level. (tried this after completing the game demo)
That brought me to a question what would happen if I made my aspect ratio 9:16 and this happened (The screenshot is oriented in a way how I saw it on my screen, the right side of the image is the bottom side of how my computer saw it):
Sorry for making a giant comment with these screenshots, just wanted to show what bug I found (probably some unity thing I won't understand anytime soon).
Anyways, amazing game! Great name choices ;)
Nahw Thank you so much, so glad you had fun and want to keep playing, that means a lot!!
We participated in this jam initially because I (Kim and person who keeps replying to these comments) wanted to understand and experience what my partner (whose name is on the Itch account) does for his study (game development). I had a really good time, a lot of fun and learned a lot about unity, tilemaps, coding (the buttons were (mostly) all me woohooo), etc. so you will definitely see us participating again ;). And we decided to keep working on this game as a way for me to learn more about coding and games. So updates will definitely be coming but they might not be as thick and fast since apparently I first need to learn how to code... :)

Ah thank you very much and so happy you also fell in love with bob and Joe :).
I would love to know which levels felt out of balance. It is my first time level designing and while it was really fun I also realised how hard it can be, so I would love to know in order to learn and improve. :)

Ah thank you for playing our game and all your good feedback! None of us are very familiar with audio design so it was a bit of a struggle. We did have a cool idea that the scaling would play notes on a music scale (different one for each character) but we tried to implement the one on a piano and it sounded really off. We tried to look for something different but it was cutting it very close to the deadline so we decided to just leave it out sadly enough.
I loved the audio in your game so if you have any suggestions how to implement this well please feel free to let us know :)
