You play a young witch trying to save the earth from the hellish kingdom of the one they name "Darkness".
The girl has the power to travel between earth and hell, and seems to be the only one who can save the world.
The player will have to be very careful, as Darkness' Kingdom is far more dangerous than earth.

Use your powers with parcimony, travelling from one world to another, and try to defeat evilness to save humanity.

PS : You can access to the controls at any moment in the game by holding CTRL.
Also, there is a PDF file in which you will find all the details about the game.
Hope you will enjoy the game !

Great game! Definitely had to read the pdf to figure out that Jump was shift ;) Overall liked that I had to switch worlds in order to complete the levels. The powerups to spreadshot were pretty cool!

My antivirus deleted the exe... You should scan your PC, and recompile after + the web link is the same as the windows one

The pixel art is fantastic, and I liek the music as well. I didn't like the controls much, feels a bit rough to use b and v and then reach for shift to jump. Other than that, great job! Oh, and bonus creds for the great packing with instructions and a nice icon for the exe - very visually pleasing!

For the controls...I thought about a QWERTY version a bit late in the night, and as I'm french, I originally made it for an AZERTY keyboard... u.u Sorry for that (dunno if I can update the game with a QWERTY version or if that's forbidden ?)

It's a great game. The best part was when I teleported and got stuck in a cliff (level 2?) :))

Hahaha ! Had not enough time to deal with that level of collision :p
But as a powerful witch, you're able to switch to the earth world and unlock yourself ! ;)

Good game.

I was about to quit because jumping was so silly when I discovered that it is doable on the other mode. Some in-game assistance to that would have been nice.

The controls were very counter-intuitive on my keyboard. I've never heard of shooting on shift niether using B and V. I would opt for allowing people to set the controls themselves and use standard keys for English keyboards (note: I don't even have English keyboard myself, but still think it is the right thing to do).

I just have to agree that an integrated tutorial would have been great, since I wanted to make one but...no time, you know these things :) I will definitely do one as soon as I have time for it.

Also, @local minimum, you're absolutely right. As I'm french, my V and B are just over the space bar, so shooting and then using skills were alright to me. I just said "I will put a QWERTY binding as soon as I've finished that featu...what ?! Already 2:30 am ?! heeeeeell...".

And that's how the game was done with a really counter-intuitive binding :( Sorry for that ! I will start in a QWERTY version next time ! Promis ;)

@nerd burglars = thanks a lot ! I really appreciate. I wish the game was longer too ! And may be there will be a better version one day :) I like what I've got here (and that's not so often, in my case, haha !)

Arghgrh! After my it felt like my 100th death i give up. Please have save points, or just restart in the same room.
Graphics and Audio were cool. Moving was strange - Sometimes slower, sometimes faster...

Nice game!
