Story: Using the knowledge preserved by generations, a young girl navigates over a strange twisted dimension. The bizarre realm, once controlled by vigorous civilization, is now busted in thousand pieces. Formed inside it are only ruins held by unfamiliar powers. Fluxed, constantly altering gateways drift over the wreckage of structures. Countless bonds are created, linking distant worlds and dimensions.
Controls: WASD or arrow keys for movement, SPACE - jump, down and SPACE - jump down, left mouse button - attack, E for interaction, X or ESC for skip.

!! Written in Java, the game requests latest version of Java. In addition the game needs OpenGL. If you experience Black/White or Red Screen, then you should update your OpenGL driver.
The art is just wonderful. Love it. The gameplay was a little boring though and the level design seems uninspired? I like the theme/art a lot though, good stuff!
The environment is fantastic. The control of the character is smooth too as a platformer. However, the character's animation is a bit too rigid, including the transitions between idle, movement, and attack. Also the hit effect can be more dramatic :) Good job anyway!
I have to agree with everything nikki93 said. The art was GREAT, but the game design was dull. The fact that the portals forced you to replay the same part over and over again was bad design, and forcing the player to start the game over if they miss one jump is just brutal and boring.
@porpglezomp Love it that you like the environment, thank you! Well it actually should return you at the main portal that you discover in the middle, but it was a bit buggy... Thank you for pointing it out. :)
I wasn't able to go through the main portal. It just said "Press E to enter" and that's all. Graphics and atmosphere are great! But gameplay itself could be more interesting.
Art and mood are pretty neat, but I don't feel the theme. Going through those portals just feels like beeing teleported to another place in the same world to me.
Art is beautiful and the sound is atmospheric. Animation is solid, but limited - our heroine's sword swing is a little circular. =) Jumping is predictable, which is great - was able to move with confidence. Thought the enemies were nicely enigmatic, but they (and your attacks) could REALLY have done with some sound effects. Points for a female lead in the game! Great work for three days!
Nice work on the title screen. The aesthetic here is great. I was surprised to see the hanging crystals effected by the player character -- neat! The music is just above the barrier for acceptance for me. I usually raise a fuss about repetition, but this piece is only missing some variety.
The platforming works fairly well, though I fell into the void by jumping too far a handful of times. I think there needs to be more variety in the platforms to settle the mood; maybe just taller base platforms. The goal wasn't very inspired, and enemies were practically worthless. My summary judgement would be: great mood, not enough feedback, and unchallenging gameplay.
Nitpicks:
- The text is much too small (especially on a 1920x1080 display). - Feedback is nonexistent. The only audio I'm hearing is the music -- the environment is aurally empty. Effects for player character jump/attack/step would add a lot, not to mention damage-taken effects for the enemies. - Some platforms below the player character were not visible due to the screen shifting with the player as the player jumped.
It feels a bit choppy, but I imagine if you had more time, it would look fantastic. Definitely nice job on the art, despite the strange attack animation!
I like graphics, music and game concept. I can imagine better animations but I know that it is not easy (during only 72 hours for everything). It is just constructive criticism. :) Good job!
The art was really good but the animation wasn't. The atmosphere felt great, though, and I thought the music fit really well. As for gameplay, I wish the three worlds with the pieces weren't exactly the same, and I needed to look at this page to figure out how to use the sword.
Overall I enjoyed the game though, especially the atmosphere.

Ye, the end screen was not working. Got it now, thanks.
The main character looks a bit out of place but that is kinda the purpose I guess?
If you keep working on it add some sounds that would help a great deal to make it even more fun! Keep making games!
cons: controls feels quite jerky. Annoying the attack automatically happens to the right
@parahunter - the attack happens to the side that you have pointed the mouse at...
The fact that the char bugs a bit when we finish the jump breaks a bit the immersion :/
Good job anyway ;)

Feels like the nice beginning of a great game, given more time!
I'm impressed about what you got done during the jam.
Overall I enjoyed the game though, especially the atmosphere.
