Wow, great entry! Can't believe this is your first game. The controls feel great, all around everything is very solid.

A bit too floaty perhaps, but otherwise a cool game! Would love to see this expanded. The shifting worlds idea was used a lot, but this game presented it the best.

Awesome job! Really fun concept and great visuals! It was pretty difficult for me though. I think maybe having some sort of outline or an idea of where the other world is would be nice. With this you could maybe make the game even hard as far as a platformer and less of a memory game, which can get frustrating. Overall, very well done and a great game! :)

Great work and I like the shifting between worlds aspect although sometimes it felt a bit off and I think the difficulty ramps up too quickly however given the time constraints great job

Very fun game.

I know everyone wishes they had more time and would implement more things, but here is my feedback:

  •  I found the motion mechanics very difficult. The character always felt like it wasn't where it would be on velocity and scene switches.
  • I did not beat the game. I got too frustrated with the punishing mechanisms of dying, going back, progressing, memorize the pattern, where is the next platform, ok die again, dying again because of a slightly missing jump, dying again because touched the wood, etc
  • It did not feel as rewarding as I thought it would. There isn't an obvious "peek" into the other world. So, it means not only are you strategizing using the candles, what phase to begin in, but you are also memorizing the layout to know when to shift in mid-air. Is it a double shift here because 3 candles were in blue, then red, back to blue?
  • I wish the character's death wasn't so long. 
  • Artwork well done. The general game is very well thought out.

Appreciate the feedback! Some of these were known issues, but I'm glad to hear your thoughts on the level design, that's something I can work on going forward!

Wow, this was super well done!

Funnily enough, my game has a similar concept to the other-world teleportation, but you took it to the next level! 

Great minds think alike :)
