Our take on Jade Cicada
The defining constraint is that two figures move in mirror-like relation, so reaching the target areas requires coordinating both routes at once.

The goal is to guide both figures to designated areas while getting past enemies and walls. The game includes 60 levels across 6 locations, along with boss fights.
