🪳Known bugs
1) Don't destroy the enemies in the secondary section of level 6 like you do in the first section of it.", otherwise the blue door at left - right trick area will disappear completely. . To understand when you are in the secondary section of the level 6: Stop destroying all enemies when you start seeing "No external music" enemies.

2) Do NOT go too much to the side walls when you pick the equivalent exchange gems In the secondary section of level 6 with one pink and one blue doors. Because there is a level design wise issue there that you can't go up due to walls comes in front of player for a few pixels during going up. As your keys that makes you go another side of wall are manipulated, you can't also go away from walls. So just pick the gems, make sure there is some space between side walls and your character, and you should be fine.


📖Lore
During training of twin siblings Northi and Michalina in Lavaranta to be new Parador Masters, they encounter with a strange enemy called Master Tehwave. They think this is another training given by Lavaran Masters, so they bind him and he traps the twins to his world called gm48 world, where he rules the every piece of it, and twins try to get out from this strange place.

🎤Tell us about the development progress of the game and your jam experience
From Kuzey(North): As some of you are familiar with, I've been working on a team-play based game, where one of the favourite twin characters of mine Northi and Michalina gonna take the role in it. The races will train them to make them new Masters of the Parador race. When jam event topic was announced, I thought It could be a great idea to design levels where you need to exchange whatever keys you would use with something different else. As an example, seeing a door in front of you, but losing if you press W. Therefore you gonna press S, pick a gem that temporary makes your S key perform as W. While I was already planning a bit more adventrous version of Leader Twins where they do team works to defeat enemies, I saw this jam and It's topic as an excellent opportunity to make a very small protoype of Leader Twins to see how things gonna work, especially team-play based stuff like playing with different characters, your twin to follow you and doing dash together etc. I am incredible bad with making music and sound effects, and since the sound effects I wanted to use weren't allowed as they were outside of official resources for jam, I thought there should be a reason why game doesn't have music and sound. Therefore this gave me the inspiration of portraying the jam organizator Tehwave as the main boss of the game, as a reason for it, and such "No external sounds!" rules to be actual enemies in game that you can defeat. I immediately went to Tehwave and took permission about portraying him like this, and he gave permission so, I made him the main boss. If you look it from a perspective, this is my first jam, first experience, a strange challenge for me right? I basically applied the same strange challenge idea to the game too. I did a challenge game by having challenge basically ahahaha. Wish I had a bit more time to fix a few bugs but hey, I still love how game looks like, and the dash movement to be satisfying to play.
