One thing I really loved was how the boxes caused a separation between where the characters were horizontally on the screen, just kind of felt nice as a way to make it feel more broken up but in a good way. Would have been nice to have some more cross-play between the screens, like the above character helping the below character and the other way too, but that would have got in the way of the simplicity presented. Overall it was a nice time spent with it :)."},{"author_name":"jukimv1986","author_uid":"5402","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 7:10pm","epoch":1409252700,"text":"innovative and fun concept. however, quite difficult to play :)"},{"author_name":"jjhaggar","author_uid":"38790","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 7:39pm","epoch":1409254440,"text":"Like the two worlds theme and the changes in the music"},{"author_name":"whilefun","author_uid":"7424","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 8:28pm","epoch":1409257380,"text":"Great entry, love that music.

It's simple &amp; intuitive enough to just hop in and play. And it's actually a lot trickier than it looks! My only complaint is that horizontal movement in the air is a bit too slow, so it's harder than it should be to jump over obstacles.  But overall, nice work!

Arrow keys to move\/jump !!!\r\n\r\nDivided We Fail marks the second time this team has taken the Ludum Dare challenge. \r\n\r\nThe idea of controlling two characters on screen at once came to mind as soon as we saw the theme. At first we were going to use a zeppelin and submarine, but opted for a ground instead as a cheap and easy way to divide the two playing fields.\r\n\r\nLast time we got a bit of gaff for the difficulty of the game, so this time around we tried to ramp the learning curve up a bit.
