How does you game fit the theme?
There are 2 worlds that you can play in. Story-wise, one of them isn't real.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

Well, I wasn't expecting to talk about worldbuilding this jam, but here we are. This is by far the best story I have seen this far, entirely uncovered by the player through optional logs and environmental storytelling. Extremely cool (and very reminiscent of Outer Wilds, which I just recently played). Though simple, the graphical effects in the different environments were very cool. I especially liked the black hole world with its unclear platforms. The exploration was nice, and I had a huge smile when I returned somewhere and found it different due to actions I took towards the end of the game. I wasn't expecting to see anything like this, great job!
I'm glad someone noticed the outer wilds thing. Definitely my biggest inspiration for making this, and making games in general.
Thanks!
very cool! interesting story and concept, i made it to the end :D
Very good game. I liked it.
Nice game. Good design and concept. Rated it!
Also would you kindly help rate mine too? It'd be a huge help!, THANKS a LOT!!!
I really, really liked this game. It felt nice to explore the station, although it would have been nice if the trek from observatory to lab was a bit shorter, or if there was a faster way to travel, since you need to go back and forth I think twice. Overall very good!
The beginning really surprised me, I really didn't expect that ^^ ! Good job, that's a nice exploration game, I really enjoyed it =p !
This game is really cool, I spent a lot of time playing it. The idea is very creative and I had a lot of fun exploring it. Good job!
I think the implementation was quite nice--I liked the way the character rolls around as it moves. I thought the gameplay was really intuitive. Would have liked the portals to just swap your dimension on collision rather than requiring you to interact.
Small details like the particle effects and the rotating eyes of the sun really made this game for me! The platforming was lots of fun too, I didn't fully understand the two worlds but lots of fun :)
Well done. The mechanic works well for the theme. And the game as a lot of content for a gamejam.
I really liked the music and the character. It was a little confusing at first, but I eventually figured it out. It was really fun to play. Excellent job! :)
I really liked the player controller. it feels great. maybe a little floaty but is so good. visuals are pretty good, i like how the player has a jump animation even though he has a very simple design. but i gott stukk at the code. can you explain how to find the solution.
there are 2 areas that you need to get to. Each one of them has a code. You can then use those codes to unlock the core. Since you have been able to access the top room of the core, you can access these areas too. I won't say where they are though, you can find that out will a bit of exploring.
Dude that sudden music after the tutorial gave me a jump scare. The game could use some more sound effects to make player's action feel more impactful. The concept of dimension warping was really great.
good use of the black holes to reveal your alternate spaces.
Great game!
Pretty nice game, except I get confused at the part where you have to enter the code with three buttons.
wdym, confused on what the code is or how the buttons work?
I actually got jumpscared with that intro :kekw:
lmao that seems like a very mojang ceo thing to do
gj on your game too, it was really good (probably better than whomst 1)
Fun game ! I used a similar mechanic ah ah :)
Solid gameplay and cool transitions, really nice
Cool Game !
But I was kinda lost at the begining in all this world to explore, and the audio was a little bit boring.
Keep going ! Nice game for 7 days
