DISCLAIMER: The optimalisation of the game is the worst there could be, and i am really sorry for that. The game can, and probably will run really slow. I was really tired at the end, and that's when i wrote the entity code, which causes most of lag. Sorry :/
*POSTMORTEM UPDATE INFO* I renamed the game jar from build.jar to Singularity.jar for better UX ======================== Use arrow keys or A/D to navigate through menu, the rest is in game's help.
It's a really short game, more of a proof of concept for a mechanic of two levels played simultaniously. Still, it is kinda playable. So have fun. Or i'll find you c:
Not sure if it was just my computer, but I started out ok then things got really slow/laggy. I also had some problems with the portal going to level 3, where the top player couldn't enter it for a few seconds, and then the top player got stuck in the small section over the ice lake. Otherwise an interesting mechanic!
Not counting the glitches, I think this game is just the right amount of frustrating. The levels were clever, and the graphics and music were great. Good job!
I accidently pressed S and restarted, the game started lagging after that. The admosphere is really good. The concept doesn't really feel new, but fits nicely with the theme.
I made some awful mistakes that made the framerate drop in The Singularity, where it is checked whether you are hitting an entity or not. Sorry for that, mates!
It's a real shame about the sluggishness and getting players stuck, because it's a really atmospheric game with good controls and I really like how the two worlds work. I hope you get it fixed and release it afterwards.
I didn't have performance issues with the game, and thought the platforming controls worked well. The only thing I had a problem with was the hitbox for attacking. It seemed to be wider than the graphic, but there wasn't any visual feedback until the enemies died. The bouncing in the uppper world when getting hit might be a bit too harsh as well, but wasn't really a problem.
Loved the pixel graphics and atmospheric music as well. Had fun playing!
Cool game! Sorry I didnt get so far. I included it in part 27 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/DOSk1bi234E
I got a bit frustrated when the characters got stuck at corners.
