I like the minimalist atheistic. Agree that sometimes the right side was a little hard to see. But nice job!

Really lovely idea and the art design is beautiful! It felt a bit like trying to play the piano navigating both the left and right sides but was a good challenge! Amazing work

Very interesting game. It was broken my brain. So difficult control drops with two hands in same time, but so interesting. So peaceful, but so painful. wow! Good job!

Cute story. Minimalist graphics and elegant. Would love to hear little water droplet sounds from them to give them some life. Accessibility-wise, might be hard for some folks to see the "platforms". Overall, this gave me a good multi-tasking workout!

I really enjoyed this. I didnt get to the bottom, but it was fun figuring out how to use your two hands in unison. Good feel, thanks.

Ow, my brain hurts! But that's good cuz that means the game is interesting. Great storywriting and art. All it needs is some relaxing piano music to accompany the drops as they fall. It would be cool if pressing a/d and j/l could play piano notes. Overall, nice job! Keep up the good work!

this is so cute! the story is so heartwarming and i really loved doing both players. it would've been so much better if there were music or sound effects (like something soft in the background!) and that would've enhanced the mood a lot, but it feels really polished and cute! the right-side screen's contrast is a little low and sometimes hard to see where the platforms are, but otherwise it's an amazing game. loved the ending :D

Super cute and cool! :) It can even be played as two player game which is nice!
The collision boundaries seem to be a bit to large

Nice aesthetics, had fun playing the game. Some feedback you probably already got told: the right side is a bit hard to see due to the contrast and the buttons for moving on the right side that get shown on the screen seem to be incorrect. Other than that it was nice and surprisingly challenging to play, especially loved that you gave the option to continue playing if you ever messed up, really nice touch for a game jam.

Cute story and a beautiful aesthetic! The line colours were a bit difficult to see against the background (especially the right side as mentioned by others) and the collision boxes are much larger than the objects which caused a lot of splash damage.
A note about controls: The right drop is moved by J and L rather than the onscreen prompt of J and K so that was confusing for a bit…
Overall, a nice change of pace for a game jam game that was an interesting blend of relaxing and reflexes! Good job!

it was great, the mechanics are quite interesting, and the simplicity of the style makes for a pretty good impression.

I reach the end and it's cute :p
It makes me think about a short movie from Disney or Pixar creators about a drop and cycles
Very cool and congrat for the design and the coding. Are the pattern all made by hand or did you use a generator?
Thanks for your game :)

@chtimy Thanks for the kind words. The patterns where made using a generator.

I really liked the atmosphere and the concept of the game. The graphics were so nice, I just wish there were some mucis or soudn effect!

Good job on your team, it was a really unique and interesting experience!
