When you bring them together you get a level deeper. And as you get deeper you will find more traps and triggers on your way!
I like the aesthetics going, which really could've been pushed further if the rooms had some unique feel to each one of them.
Also sort of wished the abilities were actual abilities, but it seems like they were there to match the buttons.
Not a bad idea, though it does seem perhaps a bit too easy to exploit the way the arrows on the floor work... still, lots of potential here I think.
@eld: it was planned but no time left at the end ;)
@ludexor studios: yeah level design was done in the last 2 hours..so not really well balanced.
Although the game feels unbalanced, it is very well done and polished. The different "oh" and "ah" sounds that each kid makes feels somewhat authentic. Very well done!

All the graphics look pretty good!
The ooooh ahhhh audio stuff adds nice to game :)
I enjoyed!
no problems! Though I beat it several times I think without ever really needing their special abilities, either that or I lacked the proper way to use it, aside from special buttons
