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!

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

Quite fun! Last level was tough but doable. Well executed.
