I really enjoyed this game. I got a second person to play with me to control the other person and we did well together. Then we noticed that they kiss with a heart and thought the game turned like ten times better. Great job.
Thanks for the great game, arkeus! The Graphics are fantastic, as always. I personally liked the colored details in the corners of the platforms.
The initial idea was quite inovative. It took me a while to get used to control both robots at the same time, but it was an enjoyable experience.
Then you throw it away in the middle of the game, and it is a regular platform jumper again. I'm not really sure I liked that bit. Also, because of the difficulty, the music starts grating on after a while.
Small bug: You can use the laser chip on the level BEFORE they tell you you can use it.
I loved the first half - the concept was fresh and fun to wrap my brain around, and when the difficulty increased adding a second player helped smooth it out. When the second player gets removed, though, and it switches to a traditional platformer, it lost its charm for me. I tried far too many times to beat the killbot (or whatever) level - not out of enjoyment, just because I wanted closure on the story.
Really nice visuals and the first half felt very cool, and though I was disappointed that it switched to the standard platformer format halfway through, the levels were still well-designed. The sound effects are good, but the music is too repetitive.
Wouldn't be surprised to see this near the top of the results. Very polished.
The simultaneous control takes a little getting used to but then it's great. Really like the bouncing of each other mechanic. Great game very well done.
Impressive, very good idea, i like having to follow the two robots. The control get stuck very often, making a simple jump a nightmare, while the game is overall very interesting.
Challenging a beautiful puzzler! Would probably be really neat to play with two players. This reminds me a lot of "narcissus", which is a runner in a similar vein.
The fact that you pulled off such graphics in 48 hours is really awesome! I can't wait for my work-flow to get that smooth.
Definitely one of the best I've seen so far (and probably going to see). My brain can't really compute, but what a unbelievably great achievement in 48 hours!
Very nice game. Quite challenging, but mostly fair and motivating. I guess it's a lot easier to play it with 2 people, but still I got relatively far I think. Very fun, and the visual style is great. And you incorporated the theme rather well. :)
Love love love. Saw your posts on the ludum dare front page and the game does not disappoint. Really tricky to think of both the bots safeties at the same time.
Great integration of the theme, great graphics, great sound. The game is blindingly difficult for me, but the feel of the game is great. I love the little robot angels. Great work.
Wow, this was great! My mind struggled to keep the buttons straight as they switched sides of the screen, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Great game mechanics, great audio, great story. Keep it up!
Unique and challenging, but somewhat frustrating. I'd rather have only one screen to deal with, as with this I end up looking at both and none at the same time.
Really nice game, the difficulty curve felt a little intense. I found that by level 4 i was already really struggling, perhaps that's my lack of co-ordination though! Great audio & lovely graphics.
this is really polished looking. I like that pixelated static effect on the backgrounds. The game it self is a lot of fun too. kind of hard at times but in a good way.
What an amazing mechanic. Also the level design, storyline, graphics, sound, music and level of polish makes this feel like a "complete" and playtested game. Absolutely unbelievable!
Wow. The quality in this game is absolutely amazing. I wish I could of made a game with his level of amazingness in such a short time. I really enjoy puzzle platformers and this is definitely one of the nicer ones. The fact that it was made in such a short span of time is baffling. Kudos!
I am not sure about the difficulty curve, as the game got frustrating immediately for me, but maybe that's because I am not a fan of hard platformers :)
Good job on the graphics of tileset and characters. Maybe music and sound effects may have been better, but overall a great entry.
Very solid entry. I managed to get to the end and it was quite hard, especially the boss fight. I loved how you totally changed gameplay from a puzzle game to die and retry meat boy game. If I had one complain, it would be the theme not completely fitting. Got 47% completion, very challenging to get them all. Congrats.
This is great!!! Really satisfyingly difficult - and I love the control concept that turns traditional WASD on its head a bit... There are a couple places where the music track repeats without quite syncing up to beat on the repeat, may want to check that out
Awesome! Pretty challenging brain teasers and a nice amount of depth with your core mechanic. I could see this being pretty fun co-op as sometimes its tough coordinating both characters by yourself.
I could never master rubbing my tummy and patting my head. Its the same story with this for me. But it is a very enjoyable game, however challenging it may be. Fun, innovative, and fantastic visuals too - Great job!!
The mood and the generally look and deliver is GREAT! Love the use of the theme and overal solid. Sadly it came up against my lack of coordination. Resulting in me getting stuck, a LOT.
Wow. Major multi-tasking much? On more than one occasion I panicked when I was trying to remember whether I was supposed to press A or D. :P
By the end, everything came together so fantastically. The level design I think was at its best when you had the two bots together, of course, but the end levels were good too. Overall, great aesthetic, great gameplay, and even a great and simple story to tie it all in. Man, that was good.
I got 93% complete. I may go back and try for 100%...
Very well done platformer. Good work! Innovative mechanic too. Took me a long time to do the simplest thing and once i figured it out it was extremely satisfying
Great idea and superb arts with many fun little animations. Also nice to have new special stuff almost each level instead of just harder platforming. Hard to get remember which is which, but I found that using different hands help (one on letter, the other on arrow).
Nice game, but I get disoriented in later levels, splitting my brain heh. Definitely need good coordination to successfully play this game. Still a good challenge though.
Awesome game. Love the graphics. But the pink and blue beams are sometimes a bit hard to differentiate. And playing with 2 people felt a bit like cheating but also a lot of fun :)
Thanks for all the fantastic comments everyone! For anyone who is interested, I (finally) uploaded the timelapse of last weekend so you can see how it was made:
Really good but REALLY REALLY hard. Congratulations on nailing the theme- I've noticed that before your games rarely hit the theme, but this time you got it perfectly. My only complaint is the music. As a music guy the music is not very enjoyable to listen to. If you want to delve to the minimum amount of deepness and still have good music, you should just download some VST like Alchemy that can make simple pad sounds and play around with that.
Superb entry thank you! Damn hard but worth persevering to experience the great level design. Great aesthetics and the characterisation rounds out a very polished entry. What's not to love! Thanks for AXEL too - came in very handy for my entry ;)
Neat, I like how much the concept has been developed in both the gameplay, narrative, and setting. Great quality all around. It seems like a game they would have on lumosity.com or something. It's really difficult to control both at the same time. It's funny that the theme is you only get one, because we've got two! Great quality.
This is very impressive but not very themey which I'm certain is not a word. It's fun to play and its really challenging. I wonder if it would be as challenging if we could have full control each character. I suppose it would have to be a time attack or something.

Easy to forget who is left and who is right.
Art is clean, and unique! Love it!

I loved the game concept, story and art style. Way to go!
Multitasking is tough :p
Great game, you should really expand on this! :)

My only complaint would be the learning curve, it's really really steep. :\
Thanks again!
Anywho... great job.
I really liked this! :)
