Mutual Exchange by ViNMH
Control a human and a demon simultaneously as they make their way to through 3 levels. To overcome the obstacles on their way they must exchange life force between them to increase their abilities.
As the human gives his life force to the demon, his jump abilities increase at the price of his resistance and health.
When the demon returns life force to the human, he increases his weight, allowing him to press heavy switches and walk across heavy winds.
Controls:
Arrow keys -> move
Z -> Jump
X -> Give life to demon
C -> Give life to human
Esc -> Exit the game (Linux and Windows downloadable versions)

I really like the idea of controlling two characters! Make it so much more fun!

I have a hard time jumping because I have an ergo keyboard which has ctrl and z on the same key. I know it's a fringe case but I figure I should still point it out. You have the most innovative implementation of the theme I've seen so far. Great job!

I like your interpretation of the theme. The exchanging life force is a neat mechanic. Jumping feels a bit unresponsive at times. The artwork reminds me of some old flash games which is good :D. I really like it!

Nice job, sometimes jump didn't work. I really like the idea but i don't know how well it works with the currency part of the theme.

@omnipotentindie yeah the jump can be improved, I think its a problem with the colliders. The theme I was actually going by the idea that currency is a "medium of exchange".

Ah wow it turns out looking in two places at once is surprisingly difficult! A really neat challenging idea! Really like the theme too.

Really cool concept and mechanics! Transferring health felt really polished as well! If you continued working on this it could become a full commercial puzzle game! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!

An interesting mechanic, although it took a while to figure out some of the early levels. The frames for exchanging life force were a good touch.
