I've only included windows natives, but its LWJGL and should work with other natives if you want to do some fiddling of your own.
Just extract and open run.bat :D
The premise was that PhaseJerk was going to be a villain with a top hat, a monocle, and a phase gun (with a death ray and xray gun coming later if I had time - I did not), he wound up with half a top hat and the phase gun. The ultimate boss would have been a stereotypical super hero, with regular 'enemies' being normal people.
You would enact your villainy by phasing into people's shopping carts, knocking them over, etc. Another gameplay mechanic I was working on was the ability to grab objects, build momentum, and phase -> let go of the object -> watch its momentum continue.
One this is absolutely certain; this game will be my first OGAM game. :D
I love ultra-hard games so this was right up my alley. Apart from the few bugs here and there (some gamebreaking like the plane one), it was a ton of fun! I really liked the color scheme as well, good job picking nicely complimentary colors :D
Awesome concept! My biggest frustration was that it's very hard to determine and keep track of which 'phase' the phantom blocks are in, and which way you should be switching. One solution would be to make the phantom blocks obviously color-coded, and display a phase bar somewhere to indicate the order of the phases and which phase you're currently in, so you can tell at a glance which direction and how many phases you'll have to switch during a jump. Please, please keep working on this!
@metadept: Thanks for the advice, I think when I'm reproducing thing for OGAM, I'll give the other phases a faded out colour, rather than just grey. But as it is, the foreground ones are slightly brighter, and transparent. I think you're right though; the effect isn't pronounced enough or very clear at a glance.
Hi and Congrats! I haven't had a chance to play your game yet but I will eventually.
I would like to award you the 7-Way Tie trophy but I can't figure out how to do it unless you post something in your journal. So, if you post, I'll award you.

Frustrating concept, but an enjoyable frustration.
