A fancy platformer with incredible animation. If you can see well enough you can actually see entire game on one screen.

Made with LibGDX in JAVA so as you can imagine it requires it to play.

Graphics-pyxel edit
Maps-tiled
Audio-bfxr
Music-gxscc

Movement-arrow keys

Have fun!

Great use of the theme and nice game mechanics. Some of the levels seem tough but it only strengthens the game. I like the door animations.
I found one bug here: http://i.imgur.com/mJinyKZ.png

had some issues with speed and acceleration, but not bad overall

The music is great! A little bit frustrating sometimes, but I enjoyed playing it.

I love how the floaty physics play into the whole trippy nature of the game. Highly frustrating and difficult! Well done :D

I really like the way the rooms zoom out, really good mechanic idea!
The movements are a bit slow maybe and the inertia is a bit too exagerated, it makes it tricky to master the jumps and can be straighforward frustrating when you end up getting out of the screen

Good job for a first submission though!

Amazingly addicting! Finished the game, it wasn't too hard once you understand acceleration:) Jumping sound is a little annoying, but music is awesome! ...and timer is twitching around too much.

Frustration level was hard but I beat the game. Good job!

Great idea dude! Loved it. Played until frustration level, where I gave up. Overall, quite fun. The acceleration of the character is just crazy though. You could have made it more arcady as in it stops moving when you let go of the keys. A great feature to add would be the ability to save the level you were on and continue from there. I love how you worked around the theme and I will probably keep this game.

Nice work, especially for your first jam! I enjoyed this, especially the mind bending zooming. Very nice!

"Be patient".
I try to, but those jumping mechanics and I always land right on the spikes..
Strangeley enough, I kept on.

Interesting "recursion". Nice game! :D

Don't bloody tell me to be patient! Insufferable game!

Seriously though, Nice game, although I really didn't like how the character moved. I know it's by design, so maybe it's just me, but I didn't like it :P
Other than that, I can't really add to the comments already committed. Well done!

Great job! I like the take on the theme! The controls makes everything a little harder than in should in my opinion, but it was fun nonetheless!
First jam here too :)

Good job! I really liked the idea of the "single screen" going with you between levels. I couldn't get past the level with the spikes, though. Falling off the level was a real problem!

The frustration is real. Having to watch the zoom out animation every time you die became pretty jarring after a couple of times. Would have liked just a quick restart of the level instead. Nice take on the theme though and overall a nice game. I did beat it eventually.

Loved way that scenes switch, all in all fun game.

I liked how you used the theme... But played the game for a while, and can say, that there are two problems, that make the gameplay too difficult: 1) You can fall off screen bounds 2) Jumping is weird (like the gravity is too small)

It's really addictive/ goodjob buddy :D

Nice use of the theme, really good idea with the screen zooming out. Graphics were ok, sounds kinda annoying. Overall though it was quite a fun game!

Nice take on the theme.
Gravity is a bit weak IMHO.
billrizer14 Dec 2014, 15:25
Well fitted with the theme - quite the creative game :)
rjhunter15 Dec 2014, 13:33
Interesting idea!

I got stuck on the "Be Patient" level for ages until I figured out that I could stand on air for a while, like a cartoon character running off a cliff :-) The next level stopped me in my tracks, though.

I found the music a little too quiet compared to the sound effects (or the sound effects too loud compared to the music).

Plenty of variety in the level graphics!
