Help the mountain climber Tom to find back his way to the surface of the earth. Will he make it alive? It's up to you, my friend!

Basically the gameplay:
You have two characters. You can switch them by pressing Space.
There are two different worlds. Move the characters into the portals to travel between these worlds.
You can create custom portals by pressing Enter. You can only create one custom portal in each world. These custom portals are connected.

Please note that I made many mistakes at the story text ;)

I hope you have fun :)

Additional note, just to name the tools:
* IDE: IntelliJ Idea
* Library: LibGDX
* Graphics: Inkscape
* Animations: Spriter
* Music: autotracker.py
* Leveleditor: Tiled
* Version control: git (source published to github)
* Texture packer (so I have many sprites in one image): TexturePacker

What will follow:
I will improve things like the level drawing algorithms because they are very slow at the moment and I try to create a working web version. When I build the web version at the moment, it only works on Chrome and only for the first levels. Then I get some performance problems :).

Again: Have fun!

I love the ending !!! It was a bit confusing at first and the portal mechanic could be smoothed a little bit, but overall it was pretty funny to play ! Good story :D

That was really fun. Took a bit to understand but I liked it.

Funny game and quite some challenge. I honestly hated the controls in combination with the hit boxes though (web version), very hard to get through . But anyways, a nice idea and I had a good laugh on the dialogs :)

Thanks for the input. I deleted the web version now since it is very buggy. Also the sounds have huge delay.

Very fun entry, once I got the hang of mechanics it got somewhat entertaining (I'd like to have a visual difference between custom and built-in portals, though). Also, I liked the dialogue, but the ending was a bit meh, though. ^^"

I didn't have enough patience to finish the game, but I wanted to say: Amazing cutscenes :-)

Incredible game. Enjoyed the mechanics, cool graphics and really nice soundtrack.

P.S. and great it's java, so people on different platforms can enjoy it :)

It's very important for me to support as many platforms as possible. Normally, I'm using Linux so I know how it feels if no one supports your platform.

The portals were a bit confusing at first, and the platformer mechanics could use some polish, but nice idea. Shut up!
