Jack and the Rotating Worlds is a 2D platformer where you can switch between worlds to find all the orbs to open the door.

Controls:
left/right arrows: move
up/down arrows: switch worlds
space: jump
left-shift: run

I ended up using Unity3d with 2D Toolkit.
for sound brfx and music generated from abundant-music

I like the aesthitic it has and i know how hard used to be physics for 2D games in Unity, good job.

Nice walk cycle on your character! It looks like it accelerates? Nice touch.

Nice use of the theme. I like that there's more than 2 worlds (unlike most games I've played so far). Also the transition between worlds is funky. I had fun but didn't finish, mostly because I got to about 40 points and then died - checkpoints would make it a lot better!

Great game. Love the music. GJ.

Thanks for your comments. I was planning to have checkpoints in the game but ran out of time unfortunately. I will update the game with checkpoints after the compo

Pretty cool game, wish there had been checkpoints because the controls are little clunky and some precise jumping is needed every now and then. Otherwise sounds and plays well.

Nice idea :) The jump sound is a bit too loud compare to the music, and as we often have to jump, I had to play without sound after two min haha !
But pretty cool game, good job !

Love the character, though :D

Playing this made me feel very calm and peaceful for some reason... Great music and innovation!

Liked the exploration in this, and the controls were pretty floaty but in a good way; they made the game more challenging.

Needs checkpoints IMO. Like, maybe make the last portal you used the checkpoint. Graphics were suitable, and sound was pretty ok. I would have used a more calm and zen track instead of the happy feel track that is in the game, but that's just my own taste :). Good luck!

The main sprite looks great and it's most definitely on theme.

Cool game. My only complaint is that it's annoying to have to start over whenever you die. It looked and sounded great though.

Nicely done!

I like it! Especially the cute little man running round. I love the way that he is ever so slightly slippery

Simply put, So very tastefully done. Great job! this game is fantastic. it felt very adventure oriented. Very fun, reminds me of classic platformers. Great music too.

Can't fairly vote. That's the first Unety game that won't run for me.

Nice game! I wish there were checkpoints too. With the amount of spheres to collect it can get very repetitive to have to start again every time. Good effort!
