Cool game! I really liked the puzzle element and the indicator that let you know if you were in danger when you switch dimensions! Good job! :D
I've seen a lot of side-scroller/platforms with a similar mechanic, but I think this is a great implementation in 3D. I especially liked how clean and quick the dimension shift is and how the music respected that. Great work :)
This was a cool puzzle game I really liked how it detected whether you were in a dangerous spot. I made it through to the end :)
Well done concept. I wanted mouse look . Good effort!
Very cool implementation of the theme! just the right amount of difficulty to make you stop and think for a second. I actually enjoyed the oldschool movement scheme - might be cool to have the aesthetics also feel this old (like 90s first 3D game style) but then do that incredible changing-the-whole-world-at-the-push-of-a-button stuff, that would have been impossible back then. I kinda like these contrasts...
I was inspired by castle master on the amstrad, mainly because I was learning to wrangle blender so I wanted to use simple geometry, I really love the big slabs of colour and basic geometry found in the older games, I toyed with throwing In more pixel art in damaged areas to spice it up but ran out of time. That might return.
How would you go about replicating that 90’s look? Put a shader on it? or something more complicated? To be fair shaders are an alien concept to me at the moment :)
thanks for playing!
honestly, I punched way above my weight class with the use of a certain shader in my game, but it kinda worked out, so here I am promoting to use of stuff you don't understand :-)
but honestly, you could just start by pixelating the game (for example: use your players camera to target a render texture with a set resolution and then record a plane with that texture with the actual MainCamera) also Unity's post-processing effects might help in terms of color grading, or even stuff like chromatic abberation, slight lense distortion, grain or a little bloom - essentially recreating the look of an old tv. that's all possible without ever touching any shader file ;-)
Good idea and implementation. You did a great job with the theme of jam. Great job!
Mechanic of switching dimensions is great and I liked it, but I wanted to look up for some reason and was only able to navigate with keyboard like in the good old Wolfenstein games :) It would be good to have mouse support as well. Also, music was coming in 3D from that radio only, for me, some BC music would be better.
Overall, nice experience.
ps. you have a bug. If you collect the Dimensionator and go back to the left wall, you go through it and fall to the abbyss. Add better colliders to walls :)
i was inspired by the early days of 3D, castle master to be precise, I’m pretty sure we couldn’t look up in that game but it’s been something like 30 years since I played it.
I think looking up and down would benefit here though.. I’ve added it to the list of future improvements :)
thanks for playing!
Nice little game! I got some portal vibes :D You can build something similar I guess. Once i fell down...AAAHHH :D... But the second time I made it!
If you have the time, please play and rate mine :D
Instantly playable! That is a very clever mechanic to get in for the jam. Enjoyed the feel of the game, took me back to when Half Life originally came out. You should definately explore this further! Nice work!
Thanks for playing kris, do you have any ideas for future puzzles? I was thinking about areas with switches that turned on and off something like light bridges. Honestly planning was a huge problem during this project and I wasn't really sure where I could go with it.
I would 100% like to add the arrival and departure to the facility, the idea is something like portal where you are signed up to test the device, there was meant to be a robot in the first room to greet you and get you set up, unfortunately it was a bit out of scope with learning all the tools in 10 days, when you arrive back in the first room I wanted the player to switch to the yellow version where there would be a hole in the wall then maybe the fun could continue outside. I am done with it for now but I think I will revisit this once my skill improve.
The idea behind the mechanic was nice! I liked the changing maps and the danger indicator. Maybe I didn't understand something but I ended up jumping some of the gaps by just running towards the platform which had a gap and then just spamming the dimension changer and I got on top of the other platform. I only just saw gaps there and no way to go over :D 100% sure I just didn't understand something though!
Oh no! Sounds like you found a bug! you shouldn't be able to make it over without changing dimensions. do you know which room you were in? there are 3 main rooms. To recreate I just run and spam space? it might be switching so fast that the physics can't keep up. I am interested in recreating it though!
The game was so funny also if it was very simple; we appreciate your work and the danger/online notification that give us the possibity to switch between the two dimensions! Congrats to you, nice work ;)
The game idea is great and I like the player movement a lot its responsive great work on that one. Would you try out mine and rate it according.
Cool game mechanics 8) even though I couldn’t play much 0_o
Love this idea! i can't say it's original, but it's very well implemented. It's the combination of the elements you choose which makes the experience original, and i think you've achieved this. Functionally speaking, your game is flawless. You've added visual and SFX cues when it is safe to traverse dimensions, which is very good for playability. However, I will say that it was made too easy because of that. I do realise that as the game progresses you could have removed one of the features to make it more difficult.
Well done!
