Outside of the audio being a little grating, I love everything about this.  Having the two characters be able to wall jump off of each other in particular felt satisfying.  Great work!

I really like the art style, and the puzzles all seems to be properly thought out, a really well done job, it must not have been easy to design all of the levels to keep a steady pace of difficulty!

A little note, on the controls, I would add a sort of "coyote time" when you're jumping off from a wall and you press in the opposite direction before jumping, instead of having the characters completely disconnect from the wall, I failed multiple jumps because of that since my brain is so used to other games that work in a similar way.

Strong submission, good job!

Thank you for your feedback! I really struggled with making the wall jump feel really good, so this helps a ton. Thank you again!

Absolutely lovely presentation, I adore the bowling-alley-carpet aesthetic! The sound effects are really cute, it just felt a bit quiet without any music, but I don’t fault you for that.

There’s a good progression of challenge, with mostly great level design, although a couple of the levels felt a bit janky (like the one with 6 gates and 4 buttons, that took a lot of trial-and-error). But overall, the levels were well made with some interesting gimmicks.

I had a great time with this, and the lil guys are gonna live rent free in my head for a while.

Thank you so much! I tried to add music, just didn't have enough time. I'm super glad you enjoyed my game!

The art is phenomenal, the background and the characters are really nice and the amount of levels is too. The difficulty ramps up with the levels, but never gets too difficult and are nicely designed. The audio might need some improvements and the movement can feel quite rigid at times and especially wall slides can feel a bit too “hard“. Even with these small annoyances it still is a fun and good looking game, great work!

Great game! Love the art style and the infinite scrolling background. The levels are well made as well, grew in challenge at a nice steady pace. I think it would feel better if when the player jumps up against a wall they keep their upwards momentum instead of going straight into the wall slide animation. Otherwise, had a lot of fun!

Great submission, I had a lot of fun beating all the levels! The later levels are quite challenging and it was super satisfying solving them :)

One thing that could be improved is the wall sliding and jumping, it feels a bit clunky at the moment. But that's a minor nitpick (and you already mention that shortcoming yourself in the description).

Again, great job!

Loved it! the 15 challenges really fly by fast as the game is very satisfying and enjoyable! I personally really liked the SFX as well. This may be the highest rating I have given in a jam haha, cheers

You nailed the theme IMO. Very fun playthrough!

Nice game and levels, and the mechanics are very interesting.
Unfortunately, the sounds bothered my ears a bit, especially the transition sounds.

I definitely enjoyed my time with this.

With a platforming game like this, I’d love to have controller support and the jumping away from a wall jump feels a little strange but generally the platforming feels good. I got a real kick out of wall jumping off of each other. The characters and environments look cute. The sound effects are fun. I enjoyed the puzzles but I did get stumped near the end.

Overall, great work!

Great job with implementing the theme - the game mechanics are great. I got stuck on one level (with the button and door) and could not reset the game. But overall - not bad :) Very smooth gameplay.

I'm a big fan of how you took the concept of reflected platformer and made something that felt new and fresh with it just by the way the two character interacted. As soon as I realized that after intercepting they could bounce off of each other and defy physics??? Absolutely brilliant. Great job!

The level transition noise is grating to my ears with no way to change it. But the jumping off each other was really cool, reminds me of that phineas and ferb episode. And the background is silly i like it.

Developer

yeah lol, I kinda thought the transition sound effect was gonna be a bit annoying. I don’t know why I didn’t change it. Thank you nonetheless!
