The graphics are nice and the theme together fits with having to control both of the souls to solve the puzzles and reach the end. I liked the ingame-explaination at the given point what buttons to press in order to achieve what. The puzzles were quiete easy to solve, if you'd continue developing this game, I'd suggest expanding it with more challenging levels. But well done for the short time frame!

Thanks it was my first puzzle game so it was hard for me to come up with good puzzles while also making the environment for it. Thanks again for playing!

The theme of playing as two ghosts was cool and I enjoyed the puzzle. Though I noticed if you weren't quick enough you would have gotten stuck in the first room forcing a quick restart.

Very cool aesthetic

Developer

Yea I figured too that there are many ways someone could get stuck in several places but could not find a good way to battle that. Thanks for the feedback!

Cool idea. Fun to play :) Well done

Developer

Thanks!

Great theme implementation, but felt like the shovel could've been used for something else. It felt like you were just switching lever, not digging or something like that. 

Overall good graphic quality and nice simple proposal. Good job. 

Developer

Yea could not find a better way to use the shovel mainly focused on the together part of the jam. Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback

This was really Fun! Great implementation of both the theme and the special object. I loved the shader on the characters as well. Overall, great job!!

A very beautiful game. A render error was displayed, but not terrible. Activated some kind of crystal and the game closed. I hope it was necessary.

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yea the ending was supposed to happen. Had to finish the game quickly so I did it kinda fast. What was the render error?

Shader errors messages on screen. I didn't see any visual problems though.
