The Man Who Fell Sideways
Made for the XKCD Game Jam.
Based on the strip of the same name by Randall Munroe.
Collect all the coins to proceed. This is a 2 player co-op game. You can play it in single player but be prepared to think with two minds!
Player 1: Direction keys.
Player 2: WASD.
Escape to pause. Best played as is without making it full screen.
Press Home to reset the level if there's a glitch and you get stuck. Yeah, the physics is kind of wonky sometimes!
This version fixes some bugs and adds the home reset option, adds a bit of polish as well. Made a particular level more fair in challenge and introduced crouching.
(Secret cheat code - there's a devcheat/button that will automatically add coins if you are stuck on progress, lets see if you can discover it yourself!)
Look out for the ending!

this was fun 1p but the final puzzle was kind of janky and i think i might have found an unintended solution
Fun game with 2 people but its harder with one, still fun tho
This was so cool, i loved it!
Congrats.
Ollo! This was such a cool little puzzle game, really creative (and rather mind-bending) puzzles! One thing that I loved about the game is that it really feels like playing a xkcd comic strip, both in aesthetics and with the writing! :D
I made a Let's Play of this small puzzle gem for those interested:
Brilliant game! Even my wife liked it.
Really charming game! So xkcd-y, smart gravity puzzles, I really like it!
I like it! Very nice co-op game, with a unique twist.
