Solid 4.5 / 5 game.
This is a great concept and probably one of the few games that hit the Theme dead on.
I wish there could have been some music to chill to but I understand the time constraints.
Is it too early to congratulate you on a flawless victory?
Will see, will see... Although I wouldn't call it flawless, I still have some things to improve and make it even better)
Hi it's a very good game.
It remind me a lot a game made for another game jam: https://brackeysgames.itch.io/detective-truth
By the way your game is perfect. Gameplay mechanics are good, art style too.
You must publish it.
Thank you!!
Amazing game, one of the best entries imo. The player controls are fantastic, the aesthetic of the game was beautiful, and the take on the theme is very clever.
The spawnpoint system felt very inconsistent to me. Often it wouldn't create the spawnpoint and I wouldn't realize it until too late x_x, which would send me back to the start of the level. This was pretty frustrating. It even happened twice in a row to me (sending me to my previous spawn point and then the start of the level) causing me to audibly "bruuuh". Unfortunately this is what eventually killed my play session prematurely, so I didn't get to complete your game.
Some audio and visual feedback when the spawnpoint is set would be nice. You can't tell it until you move off of the position which lead me to some confusion the first time as to whether or not it worked (causing me to click three more times looking around for some kind of feedback).
Enemies don't look like enemies. I initially thought they were friendly and was going to try and interact with one until the text corrected my assumption. This was confusing and a little odd throughout the play session.
I couldn't tell when I was and wasn't able to collect the little collectables. Sometimes I could see them in both dimensions, but not collect them in the one that I was currently in. At first I assumed I could only collect them in a specific dimension, but then it happened in the other, so I just started ignoring them.
Oh, I think I should work a little bit more on the level what explains game mechanics.
You couldn't set a spawn probably because you were out of helf points ( 3 little dots above the player indicate them, so then you die with spawn point set you lose one little dot, when you're out of dots you can't set a spawn ) Each of those little collactables adds you 1 helf point, so you wasn't able to collect them because you had maximum amount of health points.
And I totally forgot to add feedback than setting a spawn point, I'll fix it.
Thanks for you feedback, I really appreciate it
Ahh. I understand now. :) Makes sense why I was having such a hard time of it, lol. Thank you for explaining it to me.
very cool game. I liked the gameplay, sound, animations. Well done. Come play my game too!
I looov it
This game is so nice, addictive, and cute art style. The concept is so smart. NIce game <3
Try and rate our game as well

This is so great! What a good game, and it feels really polished and the visuals are amazing!
This Game i have no other words to describe it FANTASTIC !
I like the parallel world idea and that you have to die to switch between the worlds Great game enjoyed playing it !
very FUN!
A lot of you were asking to make sounds.
Well, I did it.
It was such a pain to recompile and reupload all stuff ( adding sound alone took me two hours )
Well, doesn't really matter now, the sounds are out, go and check out the game!
The aesthetic of the game is awesome. Controls are good, the concept is nice. It was very pleasant to play, well done =D
Like the art style and the game play the speed of movement can be hard to control at some times but overall a good game that has potential. If possible a play through of my game and rate would be helpful. Thanks!
Super cute and fun !
Was a bit confusing on when you needed the other dimension but i quickly got the hang of it !
with some sound effects it would be even better :D
Concept is cool, execution could improve, like all games. Very Minimalistic, understandable for a game jam, but Music is lacking :( Getting you a zero in that department sadly.
Guess what? It has music now!
WHHHOOAAHHH!!!! THE AUDIO IS COOL! 4 STARS!
Q
Great game, was very fun and I did like the minimal aesthetic. I think it's interesting and cool that we both went for a similar core (swapping death & life worlds with platforming) but it went very different with gameplay & visuals.
I liked the dialogue but I think that repeating it exactly every restart of the level can get annoying
Initially I didn't realise that I could move the window into the other world (don't know if it was mentioned or I just missed it)
Sometimes I would die while holding a key, respawn to my clone and still be holding that key and that would kill me which would be annoying. Having a delay would help out with that.
It wasn't entirely clear the banners from the top where obstacles and not background, making that more clear would be great.
Music or even just some sound effects would help massively (can always find some free/creative commons music that would fit the game)
Overall though these are just small critiques and I thought it was a great game and really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for your feedback. I absolutely love constructive criticism.
I'll try an improve the game and definitely add some sound effects.
You helped me so much. I not only added some sounds in the game, but fixed some things what you mentioned.
Thanks a lot!
Cool game, tricky and fun. I like the way you can see into the other dimension to work your way around the level. I think it would be better with some sound though
Yep, now I think I have to add some sounds
Aaannnddd i did it, i added sounds!
Nice, so much better :)
Oh wow the art is just great and the amazingly well constructed minimalism is a job well done!
Thank you!
The game was just great. nice art work and pretty cool gameplay. I really wish it had sound effects. that would make it twice better.
Well, now I'm thinking about adding them into the game, although I'm really bad at it.
Mayyyybeee , just mayyybe I'll do it...
Sounds are out now!
This was such a cute and clever game! I loved every single minute of it. Great job!!!
This is very fun game and a mindblowing concept! Missing some music :( but sense of humour almost covered it hahaha
Thanks!
The game now has sounds!!!
