Bi-Bob by Donar
Control one character in two different worlds at the same time. Use one character to affect the world of the other one and vice versa.
It was tested on Windows with an XBox Controller and Keyboard. If you are on another OS, the Controller might not work properly.
Update 1: Sorry for the first puzzle with the five buttons and two doors, you might get stuck there - I forgot a button that opens the door on the way back. If you lock yourself out, just hit the restart button ... it was at the beginning of the game anyway.
Update 2: I added a Video link of a complete Playthrough, if you get stuck but still want to know how it continues.
Update 3: I also added a fixed Web-Version, in which I removed the deadlock situation. The original, buggy one is still there, since it's my entry and is not to be altered (I don't know if fixing this bug is against the rules).

The Code is nothing special and the Unity scene looks horrible. Do whatever you want with it. Just don't copy the whole game and put your own name under it ;)

From what I can tell though, a very decent game. Rather engaging story, and I quite like the "mystery" about it - hence would love to see how it ends, so feel free to tell me how I get past the pink block situation..? :D
The only minor issue I see is the top character's controls. I'd either use the relative approach - A to run to the character's relative left (hence right on screen), D for the opposite direction and W to jump. Or, as you did, the absolute approach with A running left on screen, but in that case use S to jump instead of W. This way it's just very confusing. Well, to me that is.
I think it was a little unnecessary to have the top Bob be upside down. It didn't add much and made the platforming more difficult.
I experimented a bit with the controls and I had it inverted once. I didn't like it though, because on symmetric parts of the level, where you had to control both characters at the same time, it was way to easy to just push the same buttons for both characters. About the W vs. S to jump - I didn't put much thought in it, since I created it for the XBox Controller, on which jump is on the trigger.
The platform portions got significantly easier when I switched my keyboard layout to QWERTY !
Very nice game, congrats !
This was one of the best application of the themes I've seen. I can see what you meant by our games being similar, but I had more Coop in mind with mine. You on the other hand made explored the mechanic in much more depth for a single player. The synchronized jumping part was fantastic.
I really felt the story embodies the theme better than any other game I've played.
Excellent Job!
Now that I think of it, it almost seems like "coming out", because of the rainbow colored background - but no, I'm not gay or bi (Not that there would be anything wrong with that).
