Game description
It is a 2.5 platformer game where you can change the player's perspective on the world, you can move freely, but only like like a 2D game.
The main character is a cube, you can run, double-jump, and slide over walls(climb?)
Not sure if that sounds weird, but it will be better if you try it out.
Theme interpretation
It inspired me to create a gameplay experience focused on discovery and deception, sometimes you need to fail to succeed. The idea of searching for the "true" light among many false ones reflects the essence of uncovering hidden truths and distinguishing them from misleading appearances.By allowing players to change perspectives, I incorporated a sense of hidden layers within the world, what may seem obvious at first glance might not be the truth from another angle (from an angle you'll see no secrets, but what about from a different angle?)
Wildcards used (optional)
Limit your colors to 4
Make time the enemy

This was a very fun game to play. It was very innovative and there is a lot of potential. I loved the sound effects and the gameplay when you can move the camera around to navigate the platform. Overall, it was very enjoyable!
A 2.5D game! Hadn' t played one since little big planet, I really liked the perspective changes. I see you put some good efforts in vfx, between the borders and particle systems, keep up with that it really makes the game stand out! The game did provide quite a challenge so even though it could've been short I played for a good while and didn't get bored (which I often do).
Good luck and hope to see some more work of yours!
Thanks for the kind words. I tried to make a different game with some challenges and good graphics using geometrical objects.
This platforming is really fun. Switching between perspectives to work through a platforming challenge feels very nice and rewarding.
Thanks! Hope u had some fun with the game :)
