A quick note: This switch in the second level needs to be activated twice to take effect, sorry for any confusion!

Very solid jam entry!!

Having two distinct characters tethered together is a pretty complex mechanic, and you managed to get it working nicely.

The second level is a bit overwhelming, and could use some streamlining iteration. 

The clap/wake up mechanic seems like a remnant of some more complex systems that I'd assume you cut to focus on polish. Not getting dragged into scope creep takes a lot of discipline, congrats!
