I think the mechanics are a really good idea but feels a bit unpolished and confussing, still a pretty good entry for a 3 day jam!

Seems like you had a pretty clear concept for the game, but the implementation is a bit too rough around the edges for me to finish the level. There's some nice visual flair between the two sides that helps to sell the idea of a mirrored world :)
Took me until near the end before I understood the intricacies of how the swapping and teleporting worked, and I couldn't figure out what to do after I got the knife even after I read another comment about orbs. It wasn't until I just happened to wander back to the start and saw the orb there that I remembered it existed. Walking around, getting teleported unintentionally, and losing my orbs ended up being too tedious for me to complete it.
The mechanics have a lot of potential for sure, but they're not yet clear and concise enough, and the game could use more quality-of-life I think. However, the sprites. ambience, music, and sounds are all great, and definitely encouraged me to keep trying longer than I probably would have otherwise!
Just like other people said, game is kinda confusing, but personally game mechanics are cool.
Conceptually interesting, but I had a hard time grasping what was going on. I would prefer if switching between the two Neuros was a lot snappier.
Interesting concept. Quite puzzling controls though (left and right are mirrored, but up and down are the same).
To those who haven’t completed the game: the game does have an ending screen, which says that Neuro recovers her memories.
Collecting orbs is a difficult process, because you temporarily lose one orb if you do not concentrate. When a red circle appears on Neuro, you have to press space key so that the red circle is gone.
By the way, is there supposed be 5 or 6 orbs? I am curious because the orbs form a hexagon around Neuro.
Great game. Is there a real "game won" screen? I got to the top of the map, got the blue light and unlocked all the items.
I'm quite confuse. To be honest I have no idea of what is happening in the game xD. Perhaps it would have been good to have more indication of the goals. The animations look cool though.
I collected 5 orbs so far and all the items and haven't found the ending but the concept is still interetsing, I like the zoom on the camera which gives it that atmosphere.
