Such a fun game, the little voices lines between the characters was good and the puzzles were fun and made you think! I did find that sometimes Dee's E key wouldn't always work, but J did!
Also I didn't catch the pun on their names until much later, I am ashamed. Great work!

There is so much accomplished in this game. Great humor, lots of mechanics, and good level design. It's honestly crazy you could make this in a weekend! I really enjoyed the dissimilarity between the characters. They each had their strengths and weaknesses. Throwing Dan is the best part for sure! Nice job!

Fun game, really liked the voice lines too, couple bugs here and there, but that's what you expect in a game jam! Keep it up!

this is a really cool game, i had issues with the tossing of the character over the pit, no matter what character i tried they wouldnt pick up any character, so i couldnt get past that part. other then that the game had a really good feel to it.

A really astonishingly complete thing. The script and voices were adorable, the mechanics were really clever and opened up quite a bit. One of the best LD entries I've ever seen, I think.

Very fun little game! I really like the cheeky humor :) I also enjoy how you differentiated the two characters to progress through the dungeon

funny puzzle platformer with switching character mechanics. sometimes it is hard to control but just to rember which buttons switch the character :D
Maybe controls could be re assigned but had no good idea how - but i am really amazed about what you did in this short period of time. Really good work.

Words cannot describe how amazing this entry is... This is the funniest(and most fun) game I think I've played in the entire jam(scratch that, I think in general...). I love everything about this game, the humor, the sound, the art, everything. The only thing which has nothing to do with this is that i feel ashamed not to have shot Dee as soon as I got the bow :'(

My biggest question is, how in the world did one person do all this in 72 hours??? That is absolutely amazing!

Oooo some nice Lost Vikings game-play here. I thought the taglines for the characters were pretty great too. Nice work!

This game is brilliant. I love the tak on the theme. It is fun, witty the game mechanics are on point. My favourite character is Dan, all he wants to do is go home to bed so great. well done. Super entry

I had a really great time playing your game, I enjoyed the stupid voices so much I spent a lot of time mainly typing "l" if only to hear them again and again (that's an ASMR thing I guess). Well done!

I love the character design, and the animation technique was very effective. The voice acting was cute and music very relaxing as well.
The controls were a bit too cumbersome for me, the weird procedure just to hold the shield up never became natural to me.

Great game, it was fun from start to finish! The dialogue was great, the puzzles were clever and the art was also really charming, I loved playing it!

A proper Lost Vikings tribute that really lightens my heart. The puzzles are just the right difficulty level. The graphics are easy to read, and the animations do the job. The dialog is very enjoyable. Awesome solo effort.

Uh. You REALLY did that in 72h ? Like finding the concept, the coding, making the very good graphics, recording the amazing voice acting, and brainstorming a really cool level design ?

You need to stop doing game jams and just create a full game (if that's not already done), you are so talented !

I appreciate a good platformer, and you went the extra mile of making a multi-character one. I think I'll bookmark this - my kids will love it. I might play it too -- if I have time. My one criticism is that the intro is a little long. Let me move through the text faster, or put more of it on the screen at once. I only suggest this for jam games because people want to get to the game really fast. Anyway, nice work on this. Good marks from me!

James you really did a great job. Your game showcases your humour and design skills. I spent 30 mins completing it, and enjoyed the voice over. Reminds me a bit of funner runner.... (hahahahaha). You the best <3

This was really great. The mechanic of switching between players to solve puzzles worked really well, and you did a good job of throwing that same mechanic at different situations to keep it interesting. I could definitely see this being made into a full game, maybe a couch co-op? But overall great work!

Wow, I am very suprised at home much game you were able to make. I played all the way through to the diamond. it was well designed puzzles throughout. Yes it was a tiny bit buggy and also the art was a tiny bit janky but in general it is amazing how much gameplay and other details you were able to make during the jam. Great job. Really impressive puzzle platformer!

Hey just got to play the game. really loved the voice lines, I think they add so much. I really enjoyed the puzzles and thankfully I didn't find them too hard or easy which is a great balance. Its great to see the amount of things you managed to add to the game in this short period of time and just overall really good game :))
