Really great game with really great and enjoyable puzzles! 

Just to note, not sure if I solved it in the intended fashion, but one of the levels that has 2 blues as the final solution, I think it was 11, I managed to get them on top of each other and solved the level by just moving them both on to the same blue endpoint.

Nice puzzles, I sometimes forgot which one was the the control and which was the mirror, but the solution was always clear and the art style was simple and cute

This was a really good game even in when its not school my brain really had to think a bit, not like the others i got stuck on level 7 level 6 was hard but after figuring out how it work i got it pretty fast. Still a great game tough loved the use of the theme and the art of the characters. I do agree with others tho the difficulty goes up fast and in the beginning its hard to get the controls but thats for every game who has this kinda mechanic you're not the only one. Music would be great but with only 7 days i get it.

Enjoyed this puzzle game, simple and clear. Got to level 11 then had to give up. Would be nice to have a soundtrack. Good job!

The first few levels are fantastic at teaching the basics of the game. Love the cute characters and the name, but feel like I'm not quite smart enough this morning to tackle the sixth level.

Nice work.

I explored a similar idea, and think you did a wonderful job creating puzzles with the mechanic that I didn't even think about. Awesome work.

I agree with JadePhoenix about the movement. I kept forgetting who moved the "normal" way and so my first movement would feel a little stressful. Maybe a differentiator other than color would've been helpful.

And the puzzle curve was pretty steep. I enjoyed it though, I like puzzles. ;)

Nice work though. This is a great game jam game.

While the idea seems obvious, the execution is quite interesting. The first 5 puzzles make good use of exploring the concept in a way that allows the player to begin getting a bit of a grasp on the game.
However, the difficulty curve of this game is extremely steep. Making a puzzle game myself, I realize that puzzles are quite difficult to design (especially in a week), but interactions should be more gradually introduced. Once I hit level 6 I felt like I just hit a brick wall. I still can't even beat it (is it even possible?).
Additionally, it's not very intuitive which character does what. While they are opposite colors, there isn't really any basis to go off as to which is meant to be the "opposite." Though by level 5 I felt more comfortable, it made the first few levels difficult to enjoy as it felt more unfair because of it.

Overall great use of the theme, and a good starting place for a game. Would benefit greatly from some more intuitive designs and maybe a hint system.

Thanks for checking the game out & for the feedback! My playtesters did have the most trouble with level 6, so I'm attaching a solution video, in case you want to check out the rest of the game. 

I was planning on making the blue character square to better differentiate them, but ran out of time. I think triangles pointing different direction would also work. I have an idea for making level 6 a lot more manageable with just 2 new tiles, so I'll make that change once the jam is over.

Triangles are a good idea!

I find this game fun but harder and harder till the point where im really stuck, you can find the puzzles easy when you made them but for other people, the solution might not find them at all. apart from this, everything about the game is amazing, the idea, the name, the gui, the levels, the audio  =D
