The mood of this game is cool! I rated! It took me quite a while to realize how to dash while jumping.
The game's atmosphere is set properly and the art is good too. The trail from the player is very nice. Great game. Rated it! If possible do rate and play my game :)
i like the art and the game's atmosphere a lot. the platforming part can be challenging, the checkpoints help
I enjoyed it! The artstyle is nice. I don't fully understand the ghosts (?) in the first level (I don't remember if they were in the other levels) but I think they gave the game a bit more atmosphere.
It's a bit cumbersome to manage jump, dash and switch world... but I'm sure with more time I'd get used to it. I think next time, if you don't have time to finish a level you should just remove it! Level 3 actually does work well as a last level, but level 4 made me very confused until I realized it was incomplete.
Well done! You'll receive a good rating from me :)
Thanks for your comment ! The ghosts are just there to give a bit of atmosphere as you said ;) And actually, there was a 4th level but it disappeared during the export (it's probably a good thing because it was hardcore)
Amazing job! I had a blast with this game. Level 3 had me challenged for a good bit haha but I finally did beat it and make it to the incomplete level 4, by the time I made it there I was sad there wasn't more for me to try. Which means that you did a great job haha. Really enjoyed the switching between worlds effect and those world switch/dash combos were excellently designed. Nicely done, would play again! I hope you check out my game as well, it would be greatly appreciated. We actually have a similar mechanic to see different realities with our goggles, give it a try!
Thanks a lot ! I will check your Game for sure ;)
Rated, kinda high learning curve tho, but overall, nice job!
can you help rate mine too?, it would be really a huge help, Thanks!

Good implementation of the switching between worlds effect and pretty smooth gameplay. I found the controls awkward especially when doing the complicated swap/boost combos but this may just be because I generally use WASD for movement.
Thanks for your feedback ! You're totally right for the controls, we started with WASD but we wanted the Game to be playable with both QWERTY and AZERTY keyboard, so we switched for arrow keys. It seems it just made the Game harder to learn.
Cool idea and really nice art style, the end of the first level was impossible but not sure if that was my own ineptitude! Good pacing and potential
Thanks ! Try using F instead of Space, it will maybe solve your problem. Or maybe we just made the levels top hard ;p
Nice concept, I like the idea ! The art is also very good, but the controls are a bit tedious ^^'. For some reason, doing a "top left" dash doesn't work for me, making the end of the first level very hard ^^'. Also, doing on bottom dash to the floor makes the character go very slow.
Overall, it's a good game that just needs a bit of polishing ^^ !
Thank you so much ! Some PCs have problems capturing multiple arrows and the space bar at the same time, but you can probably fixe this problem by using F instead of Space to Dash. The Game definitively need some polish but we badly ran out of time.
We're glad you liked it ;)
good graphics and song but the game is a bit difficult by switching beetween the light and dash but it's cool to play
Thank for your feedback !
