I loved the humor of this game! The mechanics were simple, but interesting enough and level design was pretty well done. Also felt like it had a nice difficulty curve, never getting too hard but always staying interesting. The twists in the second act were great, as well. Well done!

One suggestion I have would be to highlight which player is currently active in some way to avoid confusion. Another idea to make the distinction between both abilities easier would be to give one of them a horizontally striped shirt and the other one a vertically striped shirt (though I’m aware vanilla PS is somewhat limited in that regard). Otherwise, no major complaints.

(final remark: I also was a little overwhelmed by the last level and spent a couple of minutes trying to hack the game and find out how much was left before deciding it wasn’t worth it. Maybe level numbers would be nice?)

Thank you! Yeah, I thought about the highlight, but I couldn't figure out a good way to do it. Also the stripey shirts :) PS is limited, but I just started to look into PS Plus (and some other forks), so maybe I'll find something to work with.

And yes, I forgot the level counter, I will add it :)

Really liked it I usually don't make very far in this kind of game but the mechanic was very open and offered many ways to approach the puzzles. The mix ups were really fun and did not really hamper the gameplay. 

It was a bit hard to tell in wich place would go cheese and chalk at first but its a minor complaint

Developer

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

I was impressed how smoothly this mechanic works out. Sometimes I worried a level would get tedious, but with the fast controls it was very satisfying to move the pair around.

I like the initial twist a lot, but the second variation on it seems pointless (due to symmetry), and also very weird story-wise. But I think there's a lot of potential here to tell a nice little story about 2 characters with these mechanics.

It was often hard to remember who is vertical and who is horizontal -- by the time I got it down, the game was nearly over.

I appreciate that the levels were fairly easy, in particular making it hard to get yourself stuck. The final puzzle was really great in this regard, and was super fun at the end. But initially the final level was overwhelming, especially since I had no idea how many more levels there were at the time -- I almost quit at that one.

Thank you for the review! I completely forgot to add a Level counter, I will do that.
