If only I had friends... Cool game and an interesting concept (having to switch between jobs) I featured it in my video compilation of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/J-5j5_FYNQI
So I think this is a pretty unique and interesting idea for a game. I like the concept of having two people helping the other out to progress through a game.
The problem I had was that I played alone and I think that's probably going to be the case for the majority of your players. I think an option to turn off the 10 second switch would be much appreciated (say if the user selects a 1 player mode on the main menu). Even thought this would destroy your game's use of the theme, my brain would thank you and stop freaking out every switch! As it stands, right when I'm comfortable with the layout (which is a lot of controls for 1 person), it gets switched and I can't keep up with it. I'm sure it's more reasonable with 2P but that has been my experience so far.
Hey, this was a cool idea. I managed to get someone to play it with me - alone was too hard, since the return button on my keyboard is pretty far from the arrow keys. We had fun, and it's nice to see some asymmetrical coop.
Thanks for all the comments and feedback! We'll definitely consider more options for the controls (and a less strict mode for 1P) if we expand it further.
