cool concept.

first impression:

i didn't notice the play button, maybe make it jiggle/move or something

i had a hard time in the first section as a totally new player, maybe ease it up a bit for the first 10 seconds so the player can get a feel for the controls.

It gets really hard really fast. A small intro with less spikes would have been great to get used to the controls...

Whoa, hardcore! The platform changing was a fun idea, but a little too difficult for me

This game is hard, but nice idea. Couldn't finish the first level xD.

Raahhh I'm sorry. I tried to put all my ideas in one level but failed to introduce them smoothly... Thanks a lot for those feedback, btw.

I'm now dedicated......I am going to finish the first level!!! haha great game :) i'm a little addicted ;)

Super hard, but great concept!

Use a different colour for the second platforms next time. Black was really hard to make out, I didn't see them at all for a long time. Other than that, a solidly implemented platformer. Kudos.

Great idea! The first level is pretty brutally difficult, and the checkpoints were well placed.

Man, this game is so hard! Reminds me a bit of super meat boy

Really hard, but that is the funny thing :D

Gameplay is challenging, which is good thing, but those graphics... if you are ever going to make a post-compo version, improve graphics. Otherwise the game is nice.

Great game :)

@JNyknn : Yep, you are right. Needs better graphics. And sound too, and levels, items...

@Zolmeister : definitely an inspiration. I' gonna play this game again

@Demorro : sure !

Nice concept, really fast and responsive gameplay. The dark platforms are a little bit to dark... but yeah, gameplay is working, fits perfect the theme and has been done in 48h... good job!

Nice entry. Hard to master, but addictive. Unfortunately I don't have the time to play :(

Hell, it's pretty hard from the start.
I like the death effect. And also death counter is a nice addition :) Great job overall.

It's quite hard to see platforms when they are in "other dimension", maybe my screen is the reason. Still pretty hard and enjoyable entry.

Game is interesting, the concept for linking worlds makes sense. It seemed however at time I would try to jump and it wouldn't jump, so the responsiveness isn't quite there. Controls could use a little refining. Other then that, keep on goin!

Cool. Very similar to mine like you said, but also different. I think the concept is good and I liked the execution on it. Checkpoints are a nice touch as well. It does get pretty hard pretty fast as others have said, but I think you're onto something with this.

Real eerie design and graphics.
Good work!

Ultra hard but I like that, good job! :D

Couldn't get past the the white wall at the beginning of the first level; the world switching felt very unresponsive. >.<

A little bit strange controls for me and i miss music.

Not too innovative, but almost well done :)

The controls are finicky, and the difficulty is outright brutal. I did make it to the first checkpoint though ;)

I was curious to check this because my game also has Lucy in the title. Lol

The game seems similar to Antichromatic. The beginning is frustratingly difficult.

You got some great level design here! Other than that little crush-trap near the middle of the stage (you know which one I'm talking about :P) the navigation challenges had just the right amount of difficulty: not easy by any stretch, but not so hard that they made me want to give up. I also liked how every piece of the stage felt like its own little trial; each part of the stage had a unique challenge to it. There was also a very nice mix of twitch platforming with think-two-steps-ahead puzzles. Controls were fine, graphics did their job (except maybe using a dark background was a bad idea, as I can image the black platforms being hard to see on some screens) (and nice intro screen!), checkpoints were laid out fairly, the game's length was just right...overall, this game is a lot of fun!

Nice idea, but I think it starts off too hard, before you get used to it. Also pressing spacebar doesn't work while you're still holding jump.
NiceAlexanderAS15 Sep 2014, 13:05
Wow for me the game was very dificult >_<' excelent work! and very nice concept :D
creative63015 Sep 2014, 15:34
Cool game, very hard! I found a bug that when I hold up and right at the same time space-bar does not register.

Cool game, very hard! I found a bug that when I hold up and left at the same time space-bar does not register.

Fun platformer with nice and responsive controls :)

20 deaths later I couldn't figure out how to pass the crushing platforms right after the second checkpoint though, so I gave up there.

harsh difficulty progression but fun to play. well done!

Well, I'm having hard time having an opinion on a game that is quite similar to what I was seeing thousand times. I'm sorry about that but it's true. Character also doesn't face left at all. It is the same thing over and over again, I don't know what to say about it. Graphics are not that fancy, idea is not original.. I'm sorry but I would brainstorm more on the game idea if I were you.
