// edit 1: I made a post compo version which fixes the following problems: - After dying, you controlled both souls when sometimes this wasn't good. - Mouse sensitivity can be adjusted with N/M and was adjusted for Macs. - The background noise loops now.
Brilliant concept! Challenging and fits the theme very well. A little hard on the eyes after a while though. The sound seemed to stop working after a few levels.
@Danik Thanks! The visuals are a problem, I know, but at least it looks a little bit different thanks to them. ;) BTW, thanks for noticing the sound bug, will do a fix soon.
Very, very innovative - I really like the idea. I mean, there are some 2D games using similar concept, but I don't think I've ever seen a 3D game like that. Congrats!
This is a great concept! I just have a few things. I felt like I could jump a really far distance and there was not much sound. I defiantly think you can continue with this concept. Good job!
Excellent concept, though damn does it hurt my brain. I liked the audio, especially the creepy laughter. A shame it cut out, but I hear that's fixed in the post-compo version.
Interesting idea, but the splitting hurts my eyes, am I supposed to always be seeing both views even when I control only one? Seems pretty fun, but I don't think it's that strongly relevant to the theme. I like the visual style.
@pighead10: Yeah, sorry, not much sound to hear here. :( @QXD-me: Yes, you're supposed to see both views all the time, this is pretty relevant especially in the last level. I think it emphasized the "Alone" topic quite well. :)

Nice little surreal and motion-sickness inducing platformer!
Good level-design, as in, it gets progressively harder and more complicated. The screen-overlay is brilliant, although highly disorienting.
Nice idea, but my head exploded after a while when trying to use soul switching (after I nearly ragequit on jumping platforms) - i got completely disoriented very soon and had no idea what to (well.. i had the idea, but i just wasn't able to navigate)
Elegant visual style (even loved the garish palette), and brilliant concept - but quickly headache-inducing when the view splits. Had to stop playing on level 4 or 5 :(
Playing this after voting's over, I think it's perfect. The mechanic combined with the visuals creates a very interesting psychological effect that evokes a sensation of an out of body experience, and reminds me of thoughts and dreams about alternative perspectives. An example of how games can simulate even thought itself. It was challenging to learn to play this but I feel smarter now.

I am very sorry to hear how badly my game treats you! Perhaps I'll cut the effect down for some of you, but I don't know how yet. :-|

Wish I would've read that beforehand... lol
