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 :)

Creative concept for a mechanic.

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!

I was able to figure out my goals but not how to execute

The game is quite confusing, but decent audio design

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.

Thanks for playing! I realize the game may be more confusing than intended lol. Namely, how the red circle mechanic, the filter scan, works. It might be why there's confusion around how many orbs there are.  (6 total orbs) Thanks for the feedback, I might come back and improve the clarity.

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.
