I thought this was a really cool concept. I know it was intended for 2 players, but it was a fun challenge trying to see if you could do it with one person. Art was nice and sounds were good.
Suggestion: It would be nice if there was an option to have just one person do it with a vertical dual screen instead.
Overall, nice work!

Thanks for playing!
Honestly, you have to be some kind of god to beat this with one person. I tried, and the closest I got was beating easy mode and switching to the plane whenever I needed healing. I thought about implementing a single player mode, but the behavior was too complex for a simple AI to handle.
Although for what it's worth, I do think that playing with only one player really takes away from the asymmetric design and the communication aspect, which is a core part of the game. Even when I played on custom difficulty and made the difficulty actually reasonable, it still really wasn't the same. After all, getting clapped with a buddy > getting clapped alone
