Love the visuals, and this is a super cool idea. Only problem is it's a little complicated. I don't know about on controller, but with keyboard it's very hard to get both characters doing what you want.
Also, a small bug: sometimes the action buttons just wouldn't work for me (raise shield/swing sword)
Great job overall, it feels really polished and is a unique take on a common idea in this jam.
I'd appreciate you checking out my game too.
