Really cool, and fun! Although I have played several games with a similar idea (two overlapping realities with hidden objects), this one by far felt the most polished, fun, and fair to play. The only issue I personally have is a lack of checkpoints, it got a little redundant to start from the beginning each time I died. Regardless, a really fun game, I certainly enjoyed, I’d like to see more and great job! :)

I really enjoyed this game! I like the ability to choose character that's a nice little touch. I like the use of false obstacles as we did a similar thing with our game. I also like the wall chasing you from behind to put some pep in your step. Very well done, would definitely play again!

Interesting idea. The mechanic of having an alternate reality that you need to pay attention to is not unique to this game, but so far it was the first time I saw it having more applications than just the visual effects. You actually use it to eliminate hazards and to make platforms fall down. I liked seeing this game in action and the final zone was interesting, albeit a bit depressing. In fact, the whole atmosphere was depressing, but that was the intention so I'm counting that as a positive!

I noticed a bug: There is a solid square that  should be in the "real" reality but is not (next to the big ball of spikes).

This game desperately needs checkpoints! It was really annoying going all the way back to the beginning every time I died. Also a bit boring, since I had already seen the first challenges multiple times, and it takes a while to get to the main mechanic of the game. It would also be helpful if you had jumping sound effects at least!

Very interesting how you implemented a character selection in a game jam entry! It's a detail that I don't often see. Overall I enjoyed this game, I just wish you had checkpoints!

Thank you for your feedback, Will look into the bug you mentioned, add checkpoints and move the main mechanic to be more at the beginning of the game and maybe add a longer level with more unique obstacles.
