Interesting concept.Controls are not intuitive and it will be much better if you can switch characters with numbers.With some improvements it could be very good game. Nice work.

The game is a bit complicated of understand at beginning. But the gameplay is solid, the art is cool and the music perfect. Very good entry ;-)

It was a bit difficult to understand the concept of your gameplay, but I really like the style of art and sounds.

Nice game, I really liked the "must work together" puzzles. Music is awesome. Great work on the camera movements.

Very cool art and concept, but the game itself was all buged for me. Anyway, keep up with the good work!

I really enjoyed solving this puzzle! The graphics and audio also worked great to create a mysterious tone.

Now this is just superlative. Games where you control two characters to solve puzzles have been done before, but this is excellent in terms of graphics, audio and mood. I particularly like the way you've done the women's dresses: simple, but it looks like real cloth. And the starry night visibly rising up from the bottom of the screen looks beautiful. Good use of both themes.

Challenging, but I toughed it out until I made it home.

Couple of bugs: at one point, moving the levels up and down caused some gaps between the levels. Also, there was an occasional bug where a character could stand in front of a door without entering it, which confused me a bit (for a while I thought that only one of the women could enter a specific door).

A longer post-comp version with more puzzles would be great! This is excellent as it stands, however.

One of the best entries I've played so far. Thank you for making this.

Thank you all!

2Christina:
Thank you for such detailed feedback!

About bugs with buttons. We know that ground movements are buged in different ways and it may cause inability to play or too fast progress. We tried to fight with that but didn't have enough time...

Didn't find troubles with doors. They may just be closed and closing animation is not very fast..

Anyway we'll try to improve this game and make some other levels.

@kaa: You're probably right that the doors thing wasn't a bug. Possibly the character wasn't in the right position to enter the door.

Pretty great art and sound! :)
I wasn't really sure where I was supposed to be trying to get to though.
