Play as a girl with an unusual ability - to be in a two places at the same time!
From your point of view you as a single character are going to interact with two copies of the world shifted relative to each other simultaneously.

6. Added the cheaty version. 5. Fixed 2 blocks on level 8. 4. Reverted some changes to GL code, made the game use best possible GPU by default. This should fix crashes. 3. Moved misplaced animation frame by one pixel, tweaked 2 pixels on it. Tweaked GL code again, maybe it will fix rare crash this time. 2. Tweaked GL code, but no luck with fixing crash on some users' PCs. 1. Removed music from the end screen. 0. Uploaded.
This was amazing! I loved the planar shift idea. Quite innovative gameplay. Music is nice and atmospheric. Puzzles were somewhat abusable with the ability :P But it was quite enjoyable.
This is seriously good, slightly high level of difficulty (I got stuck on the level where the goal is between two horizontal lasers, I could see how to do it just couldn't manage). Everything is really well thought out and polished, and a very interesting mechanic.
Hi there, very nice game. I really like the sparse music and the level design as well as the mechanic of shifting the planes against each other. This is really done very well. The game is nice and juicy. Again: well done :D
Wow, this is really cool. Super unusual mechanic, good puzzle design, great pixel art, and solid music as well - I can't think of the last puzzle-platformer I played that felt this meditative. Great job!
This concept is absolutely excellent. I will give you 5 dollars right now to kickstart, more to come with promises.
seriously though I love this concept and would love to see a whole game of this. great mood and graphical decisions here too (love the light and dark aspect.)
Peaceful relaxing and fun to play to boot.
wish there was more here but thats a good thing more than a bad thing
This is brilliant! Not sure if it fits the theme perfectly but still it's a great game. Definitely the best I've tried so far. I really hope you continue developing this with more levels and "traps". The level design is really amazing considering the time limit.
Very cool mechanics, got stuck with the turret when trying to climb the cliff, it seems to shoot me through walls and i'm unable to see the bullet that hits me.
Thanks @everyone for the kind words! I'm happy to see that fellow developers seem to like my game. C:
@Timeshapers Ha ha, well, there are 2 planes. It can shoot you through wall on one of the planes if there is a free space in same place on another plane. :D
@HolyBlackCat Sorry, still the same issue. I've watched playthrough, though, and... man, can't wait until you fix it :) Animations are a bit lacking, music eventually gets repetitive (but still great!), everything other - amazing.
Thanks for feedback on my game. A very similar glitch appears in HTML5 version (which is why I didn't publish it), but I have no idea what might be causing it. Guess I will be using my own engine next time.
@Pontifex Well, crap. But I think I have an idea. Try to launch the game with following command-line arguments --windowed --no-maximize Use a windows comsole or a bat file to do it. If it wont help, then I have no idea what will.
@HolyBlackCat Nope, it only causes texture atlas to appear on screen, then crashes again. I will take a look at source myself, but don't get your hopes up. What GPU are you testing on, btw?
@HolyBlackCat Hey, my own comment gave me an idea. I tried setting your game to use dedicated GPU - and it worked like a charm! It is probably a bug in Intel drivers. Try putting: extern "C" { _declspec(dllexport) DWORD NvOptimusEnablement = 0x00000001; } in your code.
It's geforce gtx 750 ti. I have no clue what's wrong then. If you get any idea, you can find me in skype (login: iamsupermouse) or at [email protected] . Let's stop filling comments with discussion. :)
I really enjoyed plaing this game, it was very well made! I liked the music, graphics and atmosphere. Very innovative and different, it was hard to figure out what to do sometimes, in a good way. Some levels were really hard. I died 105 times! Good job! :)
Great game, great idea. It's a difficult game if you don't pay attention, the controls are innovative and the mood of the game is fantastic. Congratulations.
Very nice submission, but glitchy all around. I played the version before you updated, you should keep the original around in the links by the rules :)
A really great puzzle! The whole concept is fantastic! I died 138 times until I finished the game.
If you want to make the puzzle a bit more user friendly (and maybe more stress less, I almost flipped out on my computer :D), then there should be button where I could deactivate the moving of the level. I move the level like I want => hit the stop moving level button => make my jump => move the level again.
This is a really great idea and you should continue working on it!
This game was amazing! so much fun, and an innovative idea. The graphics are all coherent and gorgeous. The level designs are very clever. The music and sfx really help set the tone.
Overall.. amazing. Some levels were a very very challenging, but I felt like they were engaging and made me want to keep playing til I got it.
An excellent game with nice mechanic. The music was calming so I didn't too frustrated :) died 36 times though. 2 negative points about the character: too much sliding and the hitbox was too large. But definitely one of the best combo entries!
Amazing, you should continue working on the concept! Sounds of bullets are a bit annoying, and music needs tweaking to remove noises. I played to the half, and think you should mix in some action between puzzles :-)
Wow, that's some pretty sweet mechanic you put in place here. Not only that, you make quite a great use of it, too (especially the lasers). The shifted world not staying in place unless I micromanage it is kinda annoying, but also understandable given the reality kinda tries to reassert itself, or something.
The graphics are pretty neat, though the main character walking animation seemed kinda off; like it's stiff, or maybe it doesn't match the walking speed? Can't quite put my finger on it. The audio isn't particularly advanced, but it builds the mood alright.
Yet another pretty impressive work I've seen this Jam (if rather difficult; it could use some saves to complete it in multiple goes, maybe?).
Oh, by the way, I've seen multiple games with mouse-controlled menu and otherwise entirely keyboard-controlled gameplay, but yours has to be the first one to do it with such a flair, even including a special cursor graphic for that. I still think keyboard-controlled menu would work better, though. ;)
This is an absolutely brilliant idea executed really well. Great artwork, soothing audio, and interesting (if extremely challenging) level design. I hope you'll keep working on this and develop it into a larger game.
Things I'd consider if you work on this more (there are a bunch because there's already a lot of great stuff here and I think this has so much potential): - Give the player a short grace period where they can still jump a few milliseconds after walking off of a ledge. This will lead to more forgiving and satisfying controls. - Give the player more control left and right while in the air, since such precise jumps are required. - Have enemy projectiles and spikes in the background layer be more visible through the foreground, to avoid the frustration of getting hit by things you can't see. - Add checkpoints. - Make the planes move faster. - Make the difficulty curve slope up more slowly. - As another commenter mentioned, I'd consider a button that stops the layers from moving back to their starting location. In the current game, just about every jump is made from one moving platform to another. I think you can find some great challenging layouts in the other aspects of the game, while allowing this aspect of the gameplay to be a bit more forgiving.
I'm really excited to see where this goes in the future. Definitely one of my favorite games this LD. Congrats!!
Thanks for sharing, it has steep learning curve and a bit long iteration cycle. But you know it because you were watching my stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqDS9CXji3A
I finally beat it. after 74 deaths, I beat it. This was really well done. One of the most polished, with an abundance of levels. Really great. I hate the level designer.
I was really eager to play this as I saw it played on a couple of streams, unfortunately here the error message I get when I try to launch the game: https://i.gyazo.com/4b1226f74c648ce3d1e01c18cbd3af16.png I'm on a Windows 7 laptop that apparently has no graphics card, that might be the source of the problems.
I was already intrigued by the mechanic from the get go, but what you pulled off with the level design impressed me! I didn't get to finish it yet, but it's one of the entries I will keep playing until I'm done. I love this game. :)
This is definitely one of my favourite uses of theme, if not my favourite. I love the challenges and mechanics that emerged from combining the level shifting with the lasers, especially towards the last few levels. I wish the level shifting returned to its default state a little slower, as I had quite a bit of trouble keeping the level at a certain state of displacement, but really that's just personal preference. I also found it a bit tricky to tell when I was pulling the level too far apart. I know the visuals gradually change but at times it was hard to know how much more leeway I had. Overall I think this is a great game, thank you for making it!
