The theme of 'There and Back' is utilized by both characters (boomerangs) playing on the exact same level, just starting from opposite sides! You also go through the levels collecting Crystals which utilized the limitation of 'collectibles'

Great game! it was hard, but the implementation of the theme was very nice. My only problem was that the camera felt a little weird.
Great idea, cute characters, nice execution. After a while the brain adapts to looking at both sides at once which feels satisfying. I felt like the levels were a bit long at times, but I enjoyed it a lot. :) well done.
Very neat idea! It's very challenging, but still a lot of fun. Personally I think it might be good for the earlier levels to be a little shorter as it is pretty difficult to multitask when first starting to play.
Great idea and very nicely executed! I enjoyed it a lot!
I'm not entirely sure but I think you have no coyote time which makes the controls seem a bit unresponsive at times.
Also, the Play Again menu needs to be controllable with the keyboard. The game is played without a mouse so my hands aren't near the mouse and when I hit Play Again I have to be really fast to not fall while I reposition my hands. It's easy and quick to fix and it would make the user experience much better.
Apart from these, great game!
Thank you so much for the feedback, and thanks for playing in general!! it was never actually stated, but it is possible to press R to restart the level if you wanted to go back to it with a little bit of ease...
I believe I tried to add some coyote time, but clearly the numbers were a little too small for it to even be noticeable, I'll make sure to test that further when making anything else similar, thanks! :)
A very nice concept executed well which allows the player to easily get better and train themselves to multitask the more they play, well done!
Thank you so much!
It was really hard to complete, but really satisfying when you train your brain to multitask (in this game at least). It was sometimes frustrating to be suddenly shown a gap and pressing the jump button just a bit too late causing me to fall and therefore have to restart. Some suggestions i can give to solve this issue is 1. Add some checkpoints 2. Maybe change the level placement to be top-down, so the player can have more view of whats going to approach them, so they can prepare for the jumps a little bit earlier. Overall, this is a great game!
Thanks for checking out my game and hope you like my review!
Good game, it was a little hard for me, but really interesting way on taking the theme and limitation.
Feel free to check out my game, it will mean a lot to me
That IS incredibly difficult! but it's also very, very clever, and I really enjoyed it.
gg
Wish I had someone to play with lol. Great game tho, feel like im cros eyed now haha
Thank you so much for playing, regardless of the eye damage I may have caused haha!
Really simple and fun concept. Im not too good at multi-tasking but I still had a good time. It feels like one of those games where it's easy to learn but hard to master. I was able to complete easy 1 and medium 4. I would also like to see themed levels instead of an always grey background.
Thanks!! That was certainly something I thought about doing if I had more time/continued with the game! Thank you so much for playing, I'm glad to hear you liked it! :)
The graphics are very nice! The style is wonderful and looks very well made. Playing as 1 player is near impossible (for me at least) my brain can't deal with 2 inputs and 2 player characters at the same time.
I'm still glad to hear you like it!! it was certainly made to be intentionally difficult, the later levels anyway, but I don't think I expected it to be just as difficult as it was when publishing, and for that reason, it tends to be that you love it or hate it haha! Thank you so much for playing either way, I really appreciate it :)
Very cool idea, it looks simple but it is incredibly difficult! Is this meant to be played solo? I assume it was. I love the little boomerang characters.
Very well polished! Playing solo is also pretty fun!
Funny, we have a similar idea with the boomerang haha
this the game looks funny but it's not french keyboard friendly so i can't complete the first level haha
hahah fun game. It's like geometry dash dual mode boomerang horizontal version.
I think the first level should be shorter, I should be more of an introduction.
Overall, good job!
I'd love to know what do you think of my game
Really fun two player game! Or if you're a masochist like me it's an super tough platformer that'll have you shifting your eyes from left to right constantly preparing for the next jump! Honestly had a lot of fun playing it that way plus I've never seen a boomerang with legs before which had me laughing. Impressive scene transitions as well. Great jam submission, cheers.
Really cool game, a little bit hard to play alone :-(
I would really appreciate if you will rank my game too https://itch.io/jam/vimjam/rate/767226
Today I talked with a buddy about getting new creative input from JamIdeas of other people...and now this. Great idea, I really like it.
Critic: Like other people already told you, some kind of progressbar would have been nice. Besides the theme, I personally think a time trial or an endless runner would fit your idea. Make it landscape mode an go on ;)
At first i felt like a uncoordinated person, but as soon as i got the gist of the game, i had a real fun experience! Worked hard with my brain to keep getting the 3 gems! this is so fun, as it can also be played by 2 players, really well done, art, animation, music, good job!
