A very simple puzzle game which involves controlling two characters simultaneously, using the same controls. The player must manipulate their way around the map to position each character with their respective exit.

Controls:
Use the arrow keys and enter button to select a level.

Space -> Jump
Arrow Keys - > Move
U (On level select screen) -> Makes all levels playable

Very nice! Would very much like to see a full Post-LD version with a bit more polish and a lot more levels, especially liked the last one, it was unexpected and tricky! Create some more, different types of levels as well! Glad I downloaded!

Agreed, this was a pretty nice game. It made you think a little when doing the puzzles, and the music to go with it fit pretty well.

As mentioned above, it's a great game and a more polished version would be definitely neat to see!

Decently fun. More possibility of failure would be good though. But nothing too challenging.

I like the mechanic. I have to agree with other commenters; this would be a lot of fun with some additional polish and some tougher levels. Well done.

I like the visuals but the music completely clash with that style. making the whole game feel kinda weird.
It's was pretty fun while it lasted though.

Nice execution on a simple idea. Check out the game "Her" made in this same jam - it's kinda similar.

FACTORS THAT LOWERED YOUR RATING:
Not much innovation – this type of game has been seen many times
Theme – poor incorporation of theme with audio and mood

FACTORS THAT RAISED YOUR RATING:
Good graphical quality

Cool game. More levels and more mechanics would make it better though. Awesome graphical style

Finally a game where you control multiple characters and they behave asymmetrically! It is kinda easy, but that way a lot of people see your amazing last level! Keep going!

REALLY cool puzzle, I really like the fact it is not too easy, neither too hard, congratulations!

Not too difficult but a fun game. Have seen this use of the theme a bunch but every one feels a little different. Well done.

The music is awesome. Sometimes a little cheesy but still awesome. The graphics are okay, however i realy love the color palette you are using. The game mechanics are great, maybe the levels are a little bit to easy, but the last one is a nice demonstration that you can improve the concept even more.

Nice game with good graphics, music and connected to the theme. I found levels a little too easy.

I got very excited seeing the title screen - it was very slick, but the main menu lacked the same degree of polish and the use of fonts was a little odd. The puzzles presented a decent challenge for the short length (I can't complain about that, my game was very short as well). While there are many games with a similar mechanic, you've managed to nail it with interesting level designs. Good work!

It was an interesting puzzle platformer game, I enjoyed the mechanics from it and could see it developed further. I didn't particularly have trouble solving any of the puzzles.

I recorded my playthough of this, it will be uploaded to my channel on Monday the 15th. http://www.youtube.com/user/Ythmevge
