Love the idea! I enjoyed how the music would switch between the overworld and the dark world. Art and animations look great as well. I did have some issues with the game however:

  • I was unable to open the settings menu. Seems clicking on the button does nothing.
  • The walking sound is mostly in my left ear.
  • On chrome on windows, CTRL + D is the keyboard shortcut to set a bookmark. I found my game constantly interrupted because I pressed the CTRL key while holding the D key. Having an option to switch key bindings would be nice.
  • It was difficult to determine when I could press CTRL to switch realities. I wish there was some sort of UI indicator that would show the cooldown for the switch button. I also feel that the cooldown time should be reduced significantly because I found myself pausing to wait until I was sure I could switch realities.
  • Thematically I think the character should only be able to attacking in the underworld since attacking in the overworld does nothing.

While there are some rough edges I think this has the potential to be turned into a fully fledged game. Great work!

Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately most of this game was made the day before the game jam ended, and @NB_Art and @Forrestcyang did a phenomenal job with the art and sound. If we had an extra day we would've been able to clean up a lot more of the rough edges and I may release an updated version with some of the changes I made after the Jam was over!

The music makes it really epic! All around a very good game. :)

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words! It's a bit buggy and rough but it was a lot of fun to make :)

Very gorgeous graphics. Would have been nice without the cooldown mechanism tho. Just stood there waiting at times. But overall very good and enjoyed it :)

Developer

thanks for the feedback!

how much do they pay u for this

Submitted(+1)

Hahaha! They didn't pay us a thing. We just genuinely love their game, and I didn't want it to lose out on the chance to be a winner.

Developer(+1)

lol fair enough, i think that was one of the first games weve played in the jam

Submitted(+1)

cool game! but sometimes the controls don't work

Developer

thx lol yeah we implemented a cool down for the switching between worlds but did not implement a way to let the player know lmao

Submitted(+1)

Hey, great game. The graphics are awesome. The music is fantastic in both worlds and the transition too! I too found the switching worlds a bit laggy but overall nice job!

Could you please rate my game too? Trying to get some more votes so I know what to change next time :D

Developer(+1)

appreciate it, rated ur game as well

Submitted(+1)

Fun game, although the controls are a little bit wacky! :) I loved how the music was synchronised between the two worlds!

Developer

thx!

Submitted(+1)

Very good game! I really like the music change when you switch between the worlds :)

Developer

thx :) ur game is p cute as well

Submitted(+1)

Really nice game! It totally fit with the theme! I see that we both teams are on the same artitistic direction, best choice ;) ! I also like the musics! It deserves some improvement on the implementation but overall, once again, you did a great job!

Developer

ay appreciate it! rlly like the music from ur game as well! 

Submitted(+1)

Interesting game. The music is really good. There seems to be a delay on switching worlds, makes it hard to do some of the platforming.

Developer

Thank you! Unfortunately we were working hard on a lot of aspects right up until the deadline and realized after that a variable wasn't declared globally to set the cooldown of the dimension shift to about 1 second..... oops!

This was a fun game! Although the chef scared me the first time I switched to the fake realm haha! I really like the change in music when you switch realms it added a lot to the atmosphere of the game! Good work!

Developer

Thanks! the chef scared me too since im lactose intolerant

Submitted(+1)

Awesome game! Loved the concept, art and music. Great job!

Developer

thanks!

Submitted(+1)

The sound rocks! Really fitting for the game. Cute character and nice transition between the worlds!
I somehow fell into a bottomless hole, only seeing the sky after progressing for a while :P
But I guess you already know about the issue. Nice work!

Developer

thanks! yeah there r some bugs that need some fixin lol

Submitted(+2)

Great game! Simple idea but it is amazingly presented. I loved the art style and of course the music is ridiculously good.

(Also, small detail, but I loved that death animation)

Developer

thx! <3 wanna make games like urs!!!

Developer

hey btw r u doing ludum dare?

The music was BUSSIN. The main selling point of this game is definitely the music, and how it seeminglessly switched between a happy and uplifting tone, to a dark and intense piece without changing the notes... The art was also not bad, it looks like a cute child's drawing. However, I don't know if it was a bug or not but the switching between realms sometimes doesn't work, so I didn't know how to get past the tall building with platforms... Great job!

Developer

appreciate the kind words, there is supposed to be a cooldown for the ability to change worlds, we just didnt have enough time to implement a meter or some indicator to let the player know lol

Submitted(+1)

Great job with this game. I absolutely loved the contrast between light and dark worlds especially how the music seemed to slightly change is well. However on the second stage I managed to get myself outside of the city and ended up endlessly falling through the game with what seemed like no way to get out lol. Overall though good job on getting this done in time for the jam.

Developer

ay appreciate it, will fix in later renditions

Fun game!

Developer

thx

I feel brutish for saying this, but I say; bring on the darkness! Bring it indeed! What a wonderful stroke of music moving between worlds. Jolly good show!

Developer

Cheers!

The graphics and music are really well done. I didn't manage to get to the fourth crystal because it's quite hard :). one note though, whenever I change world as I move (ctrl+d) it keeps bookmarking the page and shows a pop-up (I'm using chrome). Good game nevertheless.

Developer

thx for the feedback, will make sure to change the controls (pun) 

Submitted

Very nice contrast between the two worlds.  I liked the consistent music throughout and the effects as you switched.

Developer

thanks, music took a lot longer than it shouldve lol
