A nice platformer with great visuals a voiceover. I had the issue with the black screen for the WebGL version, but I downloaded it and that was fine.

Adventures in 2D Time

SeymourCraigDeveloper1 year ago

Yeah...we had problems with Webgl sometimes because of the video, but thanks for making the effort.

spamalot27Submitted1 year ago(+1)

This was fun. Controlling the character felt good for the platforming and having to time the dimension swap with the jumping was satisfying.

Its a great game and good soundtrack but, should be better if can skip the cutscenes

SeymourCraigDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks for playing!

ROASTED CODE STUDIOSubmitted1 year ago(+2)

Hey there I like the game especially the menu scene that really pops and I really like the music used in the game it's awesome and the voiceover is really nice, my complaint is that the game is lagging a lot and sometimes it is turning black, the rest I like them and even the mechanics of switching you did a great job on that guys.

Dimensional Escape

SeymourCraigDeveloper1 year ago

Hello! Thanks for the detailed review. Webgl + video is something that doesn't work out of the box easily. We do our best but we know there is space to improve the models, textures and so. Will try to optimize the WebGL version.

ROASTED CODE STUDIOSubmitted1 year ago

Alright that will be better :)

HollowCrusaderSubmitted1 year ago(+1)

I am not sure what happened, but when I started the game I can go through the intro where you have a few arts, and then it is pitch black. I retried three times. It consistently ends in a black screen after the intro.

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear that, I just tried it and it works for me.

Are you able to hear the narrator voice before the screen becomes black? Which browser are you using?

SeymourCraigDeveloper1 year ago

Hi! Sorry about that.

Was on the web version (WebGL) right? We do our best to make the game compatible, but WebGL has some embedded video problems. We tested on Chrome and Firefox and it works OK, but it takes more than usual because is not optimized for WebGL.

Thanks

Great concept! I love the aesthetic of the 3D stages with 2D sprites. It all ties together really well and the mechanics fit the theme well, nice work!

One Voice - Canvas Defense

TaihouDeveloper1 year ago

Thank you very much! We used to be using 2D stage only and later we decided to change, which turns out to work well with the theme and so. :)

SeymourCraigDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks! was nice game jam to think about how to implement things :D

fadeglowSubmitted1 year ago (2 edits) (+1)

Great job, this was fantastic and a blast to play. I thought the cutscenes were great addition, too. Though, my only critique would be that it was a bit of a pain to have the controls for movement, jumping and switching dimensions all on the same hand.

Life in Two Dimensions

TaihouDeveloper1 year ago(+1)

Thank you very much for the critique!

And yes, we do realize that it is a bit inconvenient for our players to use A D, and E at the same time.

We will take that in mind in the future.

fadeglowSubmitted1 year ago(+1)

That's great to hear! The controls didn't take too much away from the experience and I still had fun playing, so overall I think you did a great job.

aquietknightSubmitted1 year ago(+2)

This was fantastic! I love the cutscenes, I hadn't thought to add camera movement to still images, makes them much more interesting and will be doing this in my own projects in future. Excellent voice work too.

Thought the platforming was really well handled, the jumping feels good and using a particle system to indicate where the object ahead of you is is really smart.

Great work all around!

TaihouDeveloper1 year ago

Thank you very much!

SchmolSubmitted1 year ago(+1)

first of all; voiced narrator deserves award on itself! i like the mechanics, and movement felt good. I'm not big on cyber punk, but this story was intriguing to me. Nicely done!

Phlat: A Puzzle Game

SeymourCraigDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks for the review! I really like your idea of changing the dimension of view with the camera. I like puzzle games and the aesthetics The tutorial in the game is on point too. Really professional :)

marisa0704Submitted1 year ago(+2)

Very cool game! Really fit the theme imo! I always love the combination of 2D and 3D graphics like this. Interesting concept and fun story. I think it has a lot potential. Do you have any intention to extend this game?

Submitted

TaihouDeveloper1 year ago(+1)

Thank you very much for playing our game!

We do like to extend the game in the future for more puzzles (walls, platforms, and enemies), however, we might not be able to have time for it. So we cannot guarantee any date to make the extension.

Sorry about disappointing you ;(

ThraccoSubmitted1 year ago(+2)

Nice game , didn't expect to hear voice in this jam.

SeymourCraigDeveloper1 year ago

We didn't too (at the beginning) but later we thought that a voice and a little video can help us to a better narrative in a short amount of time.

Thanks!

PixelNassSubmitted1 year ago(+3)

Hey, its a good game , I like the portal effect and the purple effect on the player, really the graphics is good and match somehow the theme, if I will give one advise is, the enemies feel frustrating when it hits me although I have jumped also it would be better if you add a heart collectable or more hearts .

Submitted

SeymourCraigDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks for taking your time. Agree with the enemies, we have little time at the end of the Game Jam but will try to fix this!

MaixenStudiosSubmitted1 year ago(+2)

Fun concept, great story telling and nice visuals!

Thank you very much!

Jonnboy91Submitted1 year ago(+2)

Quite a fun game, movement felt alright, the attacks from melee enemies a bit dull, since it sometimes hit me even if I jumped over already. Could have had a lot more with the dimensions, I liked the mechanic but it could have used it more and with different way maybe some walls/etc that had to be done as well (talking about the level itself)

The Struggles Within

SeymourCraigDeveloper1 year ago(+1)

Thanks for your honest review Jonn :) We would have liked to have a little more time to add some more mechanics with the "2 dimensions" theme. The truth is that we changed our minds several times during development and that was one of the main reasons it took more time. Thanks for playing!

Good job! Really fun game!
