A platformer made in 48 hours for the Ludum Jam 27. It contains a paralell world kinda mechanism which makes the game a bit more intresting.

Walk with A and D, jump with W or Space, Switch sides with Ctrl, Look with mouse.

Please note that we did not make the music, we got it from incompetech.com.

Awesome idea! Really liked it! And the music was pumping hard in my headphones :)

Great concept and I kinda liked the graphics and sound! Very funny!

unique game. The controls are a bit awkward and the camera is a little strange to change around. But besides that it's a very fun and engaging game!

when I came to ground with holding the spacebar pressed, the figure will slide at the ground. Sometimes I wished a Save-Point after a hard passage. So after the first rocket launcher and dying at the second I give up.

Really loved this game. 1st one I played until the end and my favorite of LD so far. The faster paced it got the better in my opinion. Great game.

Awesome.
If I had to complain about something, I'd say that it was a bit annoying to wait for the switch so often. The parts where you have to walk 2 steps and then have to wait 8 seconds are kind of pointless :) Very well done!

The graphics are cool, controls a little wonky but over all work, I love it!

Wow! Great game. I died like 1000 times and always though "One more time..." and finally made it to the end. Awesome music!

It's well made, good level design.
Graphics are a bit poor.
I like the idea of no HUD

Awesome! Five stars!

Really great idea and very good game. I like it very much although I am not a fan of platformers. The Theme is optimally realized in this game.

Wow, haha, man, I had way more fun than I expected! The plane switching, while not a new idea, was executed very well and solidly. The puzzles were unusually fun, too -- it doesn't penalize you for dying lots of times, and actually makes trial and error fun and exciting! The way new mechanics surprise you at first also made it hilarious for me, haha (damn that rocket!). I guess what made it meld together was your good choice of music, as it made things light and fun! Great work! :D

Great puzzler and nice to see some 3D too during LD27

I would've liked a checkpoint system since the levels are so long and it's only tedious going back through old parts, but fun anyways and the character animation is quite good :)

Nice concept, reminds me a bit of Echocrome :)

Good work, keep at it!

Nice player model. Also the game mechanic was very good. It could have used some checkpoints in the longer levels. Solid entry otherwise :)

great functional level design. possibly the most fun I've had with actual platforming during this ludum. surprisingly clever and well-balanced use of the theme.

Nice concept and really fun, but I would replace the control with another key, for example S or F.
