Sorry I'm a bit late but this game just feels great to play! And the art style is just lovely :)

Developer

I'm new to game art so I'm loving the art compliments :D.  Ty

Nice idea, couldn't advance very far though, I'm not very good at physics-based puzzles. I think there's a lot of polish to be done, for instance automatically restarting the level if the player falls.

Developer

True that.  I ran outta time for clever level design and some polish.

It's a lot of fun switching between the worlds! Great idea :D

Nice take on the theme ! I'm stuck at stage 3 tho, can't figure out how to do that ahaha ^^'

Cute art style, the two worlds mechanic is a really cool concept!

Maybe you could add an invisible barrier at the bottom of each level, so when the player fall from the platform into a pit, the level can automatically be restarted.

Overall a fun game, well done!

Nice art style! I'm bad at puzzles though so I couldn't get past the second stage

Developer

Gotta sling shot your way up :D!  Thanks for checking it out.

I really like the art and music! The game was really cute! The jump could have been a bit higher, but besides that I really had fun. The dimension swap mechanic was really good as well! Feel free to also check out our jam game. :)

I like the art, its cute. I'm not super dextrous and I wished the jump was a liiil higher (for getting onto the log) and that I could rotate the items instead of waiting for that. All together, I liked the dimension swapping mechanic

Great concept and gameplay overall!

Really charming puzzle game. The art is amazing and the audio and vfx make the game look very polished. The level design is clever and innovative and makes the solution rewarding for the player but it would be great to explore some mechanics like bombs and springs beyond their introductory level.

I would also increase the view of the camera, so the player can see the level more clearly and reduce the wizard's mass because bumping into carefully placed log and pushing it down happened way too often in my opinion.

Overall a great job though!

Developer

Thanks for the kind words!  Would have loved to have more time to explore some more clever puzzles :D

This is innovative and really cute. The art is wonderful. I especially like the painted backgrounds and the clutter around the levels and the way they clearly show which realm you're in.

Great job!

The Art style fits very well to the game concept. The game itselve worked pretty well. Didnt expect the stone catapult in the second lvl to work so good ;D. Nice idea and if you would work a little bit on the controles, this could be a really good game.

Great concept, has the potential to be explored further. I love the artstyle!

I really like the concept here. I'm actually working on a game with the same world swapping mechanic, so I was excited to see what you did with it. The transitions work nicely and the puzzle design is straight forward and intuitive. Well done! Unfortunately, the physics on the objects is a little too slippery. I got really frustrated trying to line up the beams perfectly in a later level because it kept slipping the moment I tried jumping onto it. The spring also wouldn't stay in place when I tried to jump on it, causing it to go off the edge and off screen. I understand the slight rotation while picking something up, but it makes slight adjustments to existing objects unnecessarily difficult. 

Overall, great entry! I was really happy with how your game turned out. Well done :)

Developer

Thanks for the kind words!  Definitely could use some more tweaking and increasing some friction/mass on some objects so they aren't so squirly.

Great Concept, fun to play and solve the puzzle, and great art style. The puzzles are too simple though.

Ya by the time I got everything working as intended I kinda ran out of time for actually good level design haha.  Thanks for checking it out!
