We plan to port it to web, so at least you can try it out once we do :)

Sorry. I downloaded it, and it wouldn’t run at all. Not sure why.

Love the art:)

Not sure what is causing the problem, I'll try to reproduce it tonight. Hopefully we'll have fix by tomorrow. Thanks for feedback!

I managed to play this game with my brother, and it was quite enjoyable. The levels were quite easy but I liked the co-op elements.

It seemed quite easy to get stuck on corners though which made the movement feel a bit sluggish. The game also crashed when loading level 7, but our progress saved and we were able to complete the game.

Some of the challenges like blocking the fans with a crate could be bypassed by just moving through the fan stream quickly, which may not have been your intention.

Overall, good game, but more challenging elements to the levels would have been nice. Good job!

Really cool game! I like the simple artstyle and the music fits quite well.

Nice job!

I really enjoyed this! You have a cool mechanic in terms of having the player control 2 characters at once. It feels like Thomas was alone. The color scheme was easy to read visually! I would say your ambient noise is pretty loud in the beginning but that might just be me!

Interesting take on the theme, the progression for the puzzles is rather slow but they were fun to solve. Congratz !

Loved the ideia of you need someone to pass the level, the colors show emotions warm is to stay close and cold is when you're far away from the other, that amazes me.

One the things that I don't like was the fact that the ball keep stucking in the wall or objects in the scenario, like when you need to take a box of a room, and the box almost fill the space and you think that you couldn't pass to her back tu push forwards. And at level 7 I could pass the door and walk in the limbo.

overall, love the why you used the theme, keep up the good work! :)

This is a very cool idea for a game! I love how the art simply serves the main idea, and the music is perfect for a puzzle game. My main complaint is that the characters have square collision and circular sprites, but I understand that many engines are restricted to rectangular collision and that the circular sprites were chosen for a good reason. Overall, this game is very unique and charming. Great work!

I enjoyed the game. It's very fun to play. It can be played in coop or even yourself alone trying to coordinate your both hand haha. My only problem is little differentiation between the player 1 and the player 2, maybe try to differentiate the color or pattern between the two. Other than that, nicely done!

Great example of simplistic design done right. I played it solo (haha, poor me) and its rather slow speed was perfectly fine for that matter, so I always felt I had enough time for decision making.
