Controls: - This is almost buttonless game. Use your mouse to interact. - You may need to click the button on the left right corner if you get stuck.
The game was optimized for wide resolutions. If you play the Windows or Linux build then it is recommended to use wide monitor resolution. Some parts of the game may be difficult with tall resolutions.
Sorry about the spelling in the tutorial. My brain didn't function properly after 16 hours of non-stop coding :)
I've switched host to itch.io. The old link is still alive but it might die if there is too much traffic to it. Please link to itch.io instead of the old one.
Yeah I agree with you Stuffie. I noticed via playtesting today that many testers tried to keep the mouse on top of those teleports which I didn't anticipate. It makes the game much more difficult to play.
I should have made an effort to teach players to use the portals more like tight light beams. That way you can see the world outside and you don't have to make effort to keep mouse on top of each portal.
Live and learn I guess :) I may make a more fleshed out post LD version later and try to fix that. Many ideas didn't make it to the final version.
@AlexGhost and @Arowx, The code is a mess. You've been warned! :)
But if really want to take a look at the source then I'd imagine you'd probably be mostly interested in Lightmesh.cs, World.cs, Target.cs and Light.shader files. Those are responsible of the world rendering and physics handling. The Unity scene's camera setup is also important.
This one is pretty awesome. Pretty impressive piece of eye candy for 48 hours development.

Definitely my favorite game from this LD so far! Very original and I've already recommended it to a few people. I'd love to see a longer fully fleshed game from it :) Congratulations!
That was amazing. Never have I ever had so much fun with so little 'interaction', really well done. Also nicely done on preventing 'stuck' situations (for instance near the end, I thought I had gotten stuck where it says '30' but then I saw I could swim and free myself which was nice) that's some good level design, excellent job, hope to see a full game out of this! :)
I have no words to describe this project, its insane and probably one of the best games i've played during this ludum at the moment, the way you switch between dimensions, the level design, the atmosphere. Everything's perfect, don't give up and keep working on it !
Really great use of the theme! Graphics and audio were solid as well. I think the controls were a little touchy and could use some smoothing out, though.
It was interesting, but also horribly confusing at times (especially the first part with the squishing machines was really hard for me). Neat game though, good job!
The idea is absolutely incredible, if at times a touch fiddly in execution. The subtle changes in background hum with the different realities was particularly nice.
It can get pretty hard after the tutorial part and with no much to do apart from changing the view can get a little slow too. But it's a great idea and very polished entry. With some adjustments at the controls you'll have a very nice and innovative game at your hands.
Very cool game who fit with the theme ! I love the fact that the switching between worlds wasn't a one button switching. You had to be precise even if it's a little bit frustrating.

Great atmosphere ! The controls were a bit tedious but the game really looks polished. I love the way the text is shown.
Super polished, nice idea and great (technical) execution. Mouse controls were a bit frustrating though but still a very pleasant experience. Great work!
Wow, just wow. Clever, innovative and very well executed. The only entry where I'm 5 stars all around. Hats off to you! As I was playing it I was wondering in the back of my mind how many people were in this jam team - the fact that it's a compo entry makes this even more amazing!
Amazing, amazing aesthetics! It reminded me a bit of Limbo. The mechanics are greatas well and I also liked the sound which helps setting the mood. Overall a fantastic entry!
amazing game, I'd be surprised if this didn't end up top of the charts. mouse control was a bit fiddly. I imagine it would work better with a joypad. you would probably sell a lot on console
Thanks everyone! You guys are awesome! :) It's been really great to have this many commenters. Got some great feedback too which is even more awesome!
@AlexandreSzybiak: You're right! They were quite a pain to design. It did help a little that I laid the "worlds" on top of each other in Unity. It was quite a nightmare at times to work with though. Far from ideal for any larger project :)

Mind blown... This is the kind of stuff that i knew i have been missing out from games. The kind of stuff i knew i would ever get from releases worth over 40 or 30 dollars. F### triple A games, most of them just plainly s###. Dull and non inventive bringing the same old thing over and over swearing its new but it isnt. Thank you I had a great experience.
Very interesting gameplay concept! And congratulations for the impressive technical work and polished artwork. I read your explanations on your blog, very interesting insights indeed!

Fixed a bug which could cause a crash when launching. http://elparfumer.ru Though it isn't particularly feature-rich, this simple but useful freeware quickly creates shortcuts to your frequently used folders.

Had some trouble positioning the mouse to project the correct world at times, but that was part of the fresh experience :)
Would love to see more of this game.

That shader is slightly edited from Unity public wiki over here: http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/DepthMask
You, sir, should win.
I wonder how did you managed to get all done in 48hrs... I think it must all be skill, preparation, planning and time management :D

Absolutely outstanding entry.
However I got stuck under a ledge in both worlds!
Restart!
Loved it though, really inspirational work
