This game was made in 48h for scratch(code and resources).

About the game:
You are a knight that is stuck between dimensions and the only way to escape is to collect the time shards that have the power to give you supernatural abilities.

But really,the goal of the game is to survive as many rounds as possible.Collect the shards to upgrade your abilities (speed ,power ,health) and also unlock new dimensions.

How to play:
Use AD to move.
Use W to jump (affected by the speed).
Use S to block (reduces the damage to half and doubles the regeneration).
Use the numbers 1-4 to go to different dimensions.
The first two(Heaven and Hell) are unlocked from the start and the other two(Tech World and Candyland) must be unlocked using time shards.
To get out of the help menu press ENTER.

Notes:
There is no natural regeneration.
If you want to teleport into another dimension and the game doesn't let you,try changing your location.You can not teleport into a wall.
Angels and demons can go through walls.
Nyan cats give you health.
If you get bored,you can press ESCAPE,then ENTER to skip the current level.
Try upgrading the speed to max.
Have fun!

Changelog:
The Post comp version has the following changes:
-better collision with the clouds
-fixed timer display(old: 1:4,new: 1:04)
-blocking mechanic changed(old: get half of the damage yourself,new: your enemy receives half of the damage)

Java Exception Error

I've tried running it on Windows, but it crashed. When I ran it in the console, it gave me this output:

A few issues but overall I like this. You used the theme in an interesting way for sure. One issue I had was that I couldn't get out of the Help menu, I had to close the program and restart. Also when your time counts down it will show single digit seconds wrong, for example 2 instead of 02.

Works fine on OSX. Help is not readable in hell (grey on black), can be escaped from with <enter>?

If you press ENTER while in the help menu it takes you to the main menu.I do not have a proper way of changing the background and the only way of doing it is to restart the game and hope for another one.

The idea is cool but I really dont like controls. Graphics is simple and nice.

Btw guys, you need to use Java8 to run it

Works on linux. It seems fun, but also collision does seem to have some errors.

I got a Java Exception ERror on Windows version.
zdavid112zauthor25 Aug 2014, 15:00
Shatterhand,make sure you have java 8 installed.If that does not work try the Linux version,and if that doesn't work either can you please send me the error message.

Nice work. It got much more fun once I was able to skip levels and increase my stats. How do you beat a level otherwise? It might be nice to be able to put points into skills immediately when you have the shards. Also, the levels probably need more of a flow, like I felt I was just bouncing around in some directionless void. Might be more interesting to start with a left-right kind of flow, that then leads up and down. Also, the combat/block mechanic needs balancing, because it always seemed easier to run away, because in combat I always received damage. But overall I enjoyed it!

I like the biblical tone of everything, very strange and slightly unsettling. It is a little too unforgiving and that coupled with the audio can make the game hard to play. Still I think you really ran with the theme here and made something unique.

I'll update my Java version and I'll let you know :)

A nice take on the theme, though it's pretty hard. It feels like attacking enemies doesn't help a lot; they tend to gang up on you, you can't fight while moving and your hurtbox is big enough that you can't really harm the enemy and avoid being harmed yourself.
