That's a quite unique gameplay. Great work!

Submitted

Great game, I love it!

I just rated your game, maybe you can do the same on mine ^_^

Well I definitely was not expecting a guy pulling his eye down staring at me when i booted the game.  But other than the gameplay was quite.,. interesting.  Weird to get used to, as most mirror style controls are.  But interesting.  


The little extras for helping with controls were nice to have, helped me orient myself sometimes.  Although there is a very blatant bug where you can just phase through the dimensions and all the mobs of either dimension seem to only aggro to the "player" of that dimension, and unfortunately, they can't travel between the mirror and real world.

Very helpful for high scores, not so helpful for being challenging.

Otherwise though mechanics wise it was an interesting setup, I do feel like the stamina was a little weird, the fact that s it's eyeballs aside, it was a little weird in the fact that you drop your weapon when you run out it seems.  Which added a lot of extra difficulty, especially considering it seems like you can't directly pick it back, which was a little hard to plan around considering I had to dodge both sides of the mirror at once and also try and get to the unique pipe spot.


Overall though a very very unique mechanic that is just as usual like I said with mirror controls, weird to control, but that adds to the challenge in this sort of game,  I do feel like the fact that the pipe is dropped on loss of stamina might be a little too hard.  Just because you have to dodge both sides of the mirror at once.  But who knows.

Great idea, well-executed. Really original and quite fun to play, well done!

Submitted

A great game, the only downside is that you can stand in the mirror and swing to both sides.

Would you like to try our game too? You can compete against all the players and put down your own highscore.

Cool concept and the music and art is really great. Really hard and requires a lot of coordination. Not really sure I understood the throwing mechanic. It seemed like I would just randomly drop the pipe sometimes.

Submitted

This was a really great concept... I really liked the idea of having to watch over two character concurrently and the method of switching between them, having to reverse your thinking control-wise was really challenging. The fish eye view was a really great touch and gave the whole thing a sort of sleezy, security camera vibe.

One improvement I would have made is to give the character more of a health bar and give some kind of audio feedback when getting hit. It felt like you died too easily and I wasn't too sure whether I'd hit the enemy too many times or simply got hit once.

Some really great stuff there though!

Submitted

I like the idea. It is cool that I can switch places with my reflection. Good job. :)

Submitted

Nice work! Difficult but rewarding after I got the hang of it.

Submitted

I really like the concept! But it was really hard to control xD

Great entry. Very fun.

Submitted

Cool game, really a mind bender to control!  I couldn't see my score (or fullscreen the game) but never got higher than 10.  Some sounds or effect when getting hit would be helpful, hard to keep an eye on both at the same time.

Submitted

I say sir or madam, the concept of the game is rather very unique, I rather love the paranoia the main character I'd assume would be having when looking at themselves in the mirror. I did have some trouble learning the technique needed to survive, but I did slowly get used to the controls and how to go about handling the ghastly things. But overall, good show!

I really like the concept but it was a little bit too hard for me with the controls :)

Super cool concept!

Very fun concept!! Pretty hard too. And the menu's very creative.

Submitted

yooo this is crazy cool! i love how you did this!! great job, impressive

Submitted

The game was made really well! I had a bit of difficulty trying to look for the items on the ground since the colors didn't stand out much but I like the mechanic of the game. Simple, replayable, and wonderful!

Submitted

This game is fun and very difficult. I think my favorite thing about it is the bizarre and disturbing style

Submitted

It is so confusing and interesting but it is really hard for me to concentrate on 2 characters at once, unless I missed something.
