Nice game! A few bugs, but other than that, interesting! Perhaps add something to make it easier to identify your buddy at the start?

The gameplay is a bit confusing at first but it became clear when I realised I had to always see my partner to not lose energy.

I like the idea of having to talk to people while having some pressur when your patner is going somewhere else.

I think I've fixed the .love version. If it still doesn't work, let me know.

your ,LOVE version is wrongly packed. Try to run it yourself and try to fix.
