Neat game. The duality reminds me of the fire and water flash games from back in the day but more rpg than platformer. Always a pleasure to play something from others at SCAD1 found this helpful
DO NOT support this development team. the lead developer is a rapist and generally an awful person to her teammates. best of luck to the art team involved in this game, they deserve better than her. also this game barely runs, it's held together with duct tape and hope, and clearly not enough of either
Fascinating concept and something I thing could be widely expanded on. Though not for me, I would 100% recommend this to other people.
Runs kinda bad at the start, but once you get schmoovin it's a lot of fun.
