This was a really clean and well designed platformer. well done!
Nice use of the theme. I would have loved a visual indicator of a place that is safe in both dimensions because I could never remember where I could safely stand and kept switching dimensions and killimg myself :P
Also encountered the soft lock, but I didn;t read the warning ahead of time so that's partly on me too.
Great job !
Yeah I thought of that too - but then I decided:
since the player can switch as much as they want they can just check at the start, switch back and forth and make their own safe "checkpoints" in their mind
maybe I can adress the softlock by just disabeling the controlls on touching the endportal...or at least the timeswap
This was so much fun! The levels were challenging without being too frustrating. I died a lot because I have the attention span of a hyperactive labradoodle and I kept forgetting that the place I was standing was full of acid or enemies in the other dimension. 馃槀 It was still really fun, though.
Gald you enjoyed it! I want to add a particle effect for "ghosts" in the other dimension for like 5 sec when you switch so it's easier to keep track
Fun to switch forward and back through time to see the levels in two different states. I like the touches of things like broken ladders in place of where functional ones are in the other time line to give a strong sense of continuity. :)
Good game. Love the art and the characater is really cool well done.

Nice puzzle platformer! Thanks for playing my game.
Well done with the game! The levels were well thought out and fun to complete. And I think the 2nd level teleporter is bugged as I couldn't proceed to the next level.
its bugged if you touch it and then swap time - because it has a state that you cant touch it again^^ so it will softlock at the moment
Interesting game - it's the smoothest transition for dimension from all the games i've played so far. Wo very well done on the mechanics of the game, it's a smooth transition and experience.
Not sure if you've developed 2 levels or more, as i couldn't pass the 2nd one - the end teleported wouldn't work even if i had all the crystals. Or maybe i've missed one, but i'm sure i haven't.
I have to check cause you are the second person to say that - crystals are for points the teleporter just softlocks if you touch it and swap time before it loads the next level
Awesome game! I was unsure if I got to the end or not because it seemed to repeat after the third level. Some kind of end screen would be nice if that was the end unless I missed something. I had a little trouble moving and shifting time at the same time without having both hands on the keyboard. Keep up the great work!
Very nice game
:D
Fun game! I wish the lose state was fixed. I also feel like the game is more fun when you avoid shooting the enemies, because it forces you to use the timeswap mechanic more. Impressive level design.
Fixed it! and yes not shooting can be one thing or atm bullets are linked to the player not the time maybe I can add bullets that have to swap time to damage some enemys (but currently I only have 1 type)
Fun game, thoughtful level design, and I really like the time transistion concept, it reminds me of The Slience Age. Hope you can add more sfx for walking, and sound volume control. Great job!
Thx a lot and yes I know that the menu is missing^^ but if you had fun thats the most important
Fun game! liked the art and it is perfectly coherent with the theme!
Thank you very much!
after dying so much on the lasers I can't replay the game and shows up
yes I know about that bug - it`s in the description. I will wait till after the jam to fix it and add a menu and GameOver-screen that should solve the problem...also more levels
You should let me know when all that is done I would love to play your games D
I fixed the deathstate -soundFX have to wait till after the jam
absolutely I got your point D.
the game is fun I like the game character has a good vibe to but I have found the bug when dying so much on those lasers
I had a great time playing this. It's an excellent concept and I would love to see it continued!
I loved the concept of swapping dimensions, really similar to how I implemented the theme, nicely done! I am not great at platform games but I still had a blast!
I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing
Neat concept! Add background music, more levels, some polishing and this will be a great platformer. My brain kept telling me the brick sprites were platforms I could jump on xD but it's not a big issue. It would've been awesome if the sprites also changed with the time shift but it's purely for visuals.
I thought about that but I didn't have enough time so I settled for a changing background...Music yes but I just couldn't find rly free music so I also scratched that and the music would also have to work seamless between two styles which is beyond my capabilities at the moment. But thank you so much for your feedback! If enough people like it I might continue with the game....
Go for it!
I thought the time mechanic was really cool. I think I finished the game because the levels started to repeat. I think a neat idea would be to add in timer for speed running. When I finished I redid a few levels just to see how fast I could get through them. Nice game :)
yeah that would be interessting and yes it`s only 3 levels that I managed to finish - the time mechanic was a pain in the *** to get to work but it`s the main thing of the game so I had no choice xD took me a whole day and 4 different methods to get one working
