Hi !

Shards is a platformer with synchronized controls over multiple connected worlds !

I made this game using :
- Haxe : http://www.haxe.org
- H3D (Rendering and Input) : https://github.com/ncannasse/h3d
- Box2D (Physics) : http://box2d.org
- Howler (Sound) : http://goldfirestudios.com/blog/10
I created the assets using Photoshop, Photofiltre Studio, Imitone, Ableton Live, Blender, 3DS Max.

Please play, comment and rate the game ! ;)

Controls :
Arrows : Move and Jump
[R] : Restart level

Not a bad concept you got there

Haxe is awesome! And game is super! Art is good. Gameplay not untique, but I like this type. Thanks!

The game is funny but I somehow find the jump "short" :D

Well done!

Greate game! the gameplay idea is not new but you manage to add a new twist by grabing diferent peaces in order.

Clever concept. I like how the crystals move between worlds as you reach them. The backgrounds look nice too.

I really dig the 3D look and the cooperation that is sequenced ... solid entry!

great work! I liked the art style you went with. I wish that I respawned more quickly after dying... I died a lot!

Quite good overall. Some things that could be improved:
- controls are not perfect, the jump is too fast making it hard to control
- the levels are a bit long so you need a lot of retries before finishing one, while having several smaller levels would work better
- sometimes one of the two "shards" get stuck on the ground, not sure why

Hi there. Like the idea, some of the implementation is a bit unpolished, the physics on the jumping/moving needs a bit of attention. I think the collecting parts from one half then the other is clever. Good job!
