Very cool concept! There's a few points of improvements I noticed. I like the idea of having the windows slightly offset from each other, but I think it feels a bit counterintuitive that when you place a platform, the platform shifts over a bit when switching to the other tab. Also sometimes shift doesn't seem to be recognized and the platform doesn't place. I love the simple art style and the music goes along with it very well. Good job!

Thanks a bunch!! The platform shifting a bit when switching was intended to make it so it ends up in the same place in the other room, the ghost of the character was intended to assist with this but I definitely think that some of the rooms should've been built a bit more similar in exact dimensions or the swap should have a smoother animation to accommodate this. As for shift not working, placing platforms in midair isn't possible, but if this wasn't the case when you played I may have a bug to squash! Thank you very much for playing, for the kind words and for taking the time to leave feedback!

Really cool idea, and well-executed too. The only major problem I had with it is that if you miss a jump with one character, you have to backtrack with the other and reattempt the whole thing. It'd be really nice to have a return to last platform/section feature. I do understand the time constraint, though, maybe that's something for a post jam version.

Really fun game, though!

Thank you!! That's definitely something I've thought about too, the game as it is now is honestly probably about half the length of what I had planned originally, so who knows, maybe eventually I'll go back to add those extra levels and fix things like the respawning. Thanks again for the kind words and feedback!

Pretty Cool! As you said time is short, but if given more time I wish there a few more interactions between the 2 tabs. Other than that, I really liked it! Nice music, simple and sweet graphics, and cute little puzzles! Good job!

Developer

Thanks a ton!! Glad you enjoyed it and appreciate the feedback!

Very fun puzzle game (Or showcase, as you put it). I liked the multiple window concept and alltogether it was pretty satisfying to complete levels!
