I wasn't really sure what to do when I saw the thing flickering, the story kind of stopped for me, I couldn't move anymore, I was quite enjoying it until I got trapped. Some Music / sound effects would have rounded this off perfectly!

Do you mean the part after you enter the portal? That's a cut scene and you have to press enter to advance the narration. Sorry if it wasn't super clear what to do! I wanted to implement timed hints to help prevent the player from getting stuck, but I ran out of time. I'm hoping to do voice over narration for the full version, though, so that will eliminate that problem. Thanks for playing and sharing your feedback!
Wow, this game is amazing!
I really was in the Flatrick's shoes. A simple story perfectly narrated!

The SwitcherGreat design and narrative! I thought life in 2d would be hard, but I never considered life in 1d as well, that's gotta be a little rough. I really enjoyed playing!

Flush The Spirits Outcool game, love the way you've gave personality to the 2d space, the little story of flatrick and how it become a polygon 😄. Is quite minimalistic and well made, the narrative and effects gave a lot of character to the result. I'm curious what the future holds for Flatrick, great job! 🙌

Eru BichaNice story and mechanics around the progression. I think there's a concept here that you could expand on into a full game. Perhaps an evolution into 3D and even a realisation then that being in 3D isn't necessarily better :)

Dimensional Survivors 3D!Cool story and simple graphics, but some music and SFX are needed. But other than that pretty good game
Submitted
Dimension Crashers UnitedThe game was really simple and funny! It was a sort of life in a dimension that had inside two other ones of it, that was fantastic! Was you inspire from Flatland?
It would be nice if you want to carry on in the development, the story was good and now we’re curious to know the next pass ;D

That Time in Marta's HeartLove the story, Flatric is my hero! So sad that the game ended so quickly.

Astral Lab EscapeNice little experience you've made. Great job! It's simple but I like your storytelling. I understand the time constraint, but it still ends too abruptly though. I wished it had a tiny bit more. Also, gamepad support almost works, it just needs a couple of buttons for advancing the story and jumping around. I'd love to see the follow-up to this. Oh, and music and sound effects will bring a lot of life to this.

WeldingIt was a bit of a strange mechanic for me, but you were able to tell the story excellently.

A little storyThat was simple but the most unique game a played in this jam.

Realm Shift ( DEMO )Lovely short story. Disappointed that it ended so quickly, but completely understand with the time limit! :)
One thing that I did have an small issue with, was that in the first level you didn't have restrictions or any guide where to go. I ended up thinking that you should follow the line, and went FAAAAAR until I was like "I'm done, I'll just go up a bit and see if there's anything there" :D Thankfully there was, BUT then I had to go aaaaalllll the way back for the portal! :D
Music and SFX would have made the game a lot better as well, at least some nice quiet background music would have fit it perfectly, to even more get the player into the story! :)

The Struggles WithinThanks for the thoughtful feedback! Yeah, I think it's a little flawed in that section as far as missing guidance or anything interesting to interact with to get you to go far enough away from the line to trigger the next part. I have some ideas on how to improve that when I get back to working on this. :) I'm also probably going to change it so you can't go on forever.
Heheh, I was legitimately disappointed when it ended so suddenly (a good sign - I was looking forward to more!). This one really embraced the theme harder than most, and had a compelling story! Great job!

The Double Life of Flying VA short game with a lot of strength in its story. Its a shame there is not more of it but be proud of what you have created! In the words of my old professor, "Mathematical"
Submitted
Tower PunchWhat a great approach to the theme. I was hoping I'd see a game about evolving through the geometric dimensions and you definitely didn't disappoint. Though the experience was short, it felt very polished and appropriate for the story beats. I just wish I could see where you were planning to take it next.

Descent into Lost Dimensions: Part 1Cute game, was hoping there was more, but I loved the writing!
Submitted
The Double Life of Flying VCool game concept! Sad to see it was so short, hopefully you add more to it in the future. Good job!
