A minimalist speed runner where you must alternate between two worlds. Don't spend too long in either the light or the dark, or you will fade into the background.
Nice. Action mechanics benefit from a little resistance on the controls (Hysteresis). Simple little bit of math that can make the controls feel a lot more realistic. Really like the minimalist style. Might have been deliberate, but something felt unintuitive about the two controls being spread across both hands. It might be interesting if you switched worlds by switching hands (different jump key on each hand, different switch key on each hand).
Quite a hard game, took me a while to figure out what was actually happening. I think the time before you fade is a bit too fast, making you switch back and forth to the point where you don't see things coming fast enough because of the perspective.
It's a nice little game. The concept is not terribly innovative but it works and kept me busy a few minutes. Is 388 a high score? ^^
A few points to improve on: - The camera movement between the layers is kind of confusing. - The ratio of tall and short blocks is not well balanced between the two layers. It seems there are no very tall ones on the back. (this is maybe intentional) - Some background music would be nice. - The rotation animation of the yin-yang symbol could be smoother.
Awesome game! Very simple, addicting and fun. Didn't realize immediately that it was staying in one world that killed you, thought it was a bug or something. There might have been a better way to convey that then slowing fading to a color. I also didn't really like the transition between worlds, there seems to be a distinct advantage in terms of viewport when playing in the front layer.
Nice concept and graphics. Liked the switch effect and mechanic! But holy wow, the death sound gets annoying after a while! Overall a really cool entry!

Good job though, runs well.

Keep it up!
