Description:
BROWSER VERSION IS HEAVY, GET WIN VERSION IF LAG IS TOO DAMN HIGH!

I would qualify that game as a Metroidvania. You gain powers and use them to finish the game.

You must exit before it's too late, before you forget your own life.

Edits:
- Reuploaded both versions and source because I forgot I commented out the music.

Lol, at the beginning I was clueless. It got better though, nice game. :)

Sad that GameMaker HTML5 export is so laggy. Other than that, this is a fantastic game. Took me a while to figure out i can use the mouse (i didn't RTFM), but once i got that it was a blast.

Really good game. Walls can be a bit buggy though. But I guess that's Game Maker for you

Yeah I tried using the Box2D physics engine that's integrated. It would need a lot more tweaking to actually get a bug-free platformer, but in 48h... In short, it's not Game Maker, it's Box2D.

Nice game. Keys usage is not obvious sometimes.

Enjoyable game. Fantastic graphics, good music. Jumping was a little problematic on the web version... but I suspect the Windows version is better :)

Was a bit hard to workout at first but otherwise it was canny neat.

I updated the controls to give you guys more of a clue.

I love the psy mechanics. pretty nice game-play. but the level design could be a bit more obvious - or i´m stupid. ;)

Great game, reminds me of the MSX

Cool game, could use more tutorial imo.

Had real trouble playing the web version on firefox. Worked better in Chrome

Is there any way to do the big jump after you opened the underwater blue door? I'm stucked here. By the way, really long gameplay, nice work for just 48hour!

infernet89, watch the playthrough if you want spoilers.

Pretty cool puzzle mechanic for a platformer. I wanted to interact with more physics objects, shame there were so few lying around. :)

Plays like I'm all stoned when I'm completely sober...strange...
