Enjoyed it! The movement overall feels very smooth and wall jump mechanic is so fun. The level designs are clever and challenging. Nice work!

Cool game! I didn't manage to complete the game (I got to the boss but I didn't manage to defeat it) but from what I played I loved the mechanics and having to figure out what to do next to reach the goal before the time ran out. Good job! :D

Portals and PastriesMy fingers aren't coordinated enough to get the wall jump down, but I do like the look of it and the concept.

Frecko's AdventuresCame here because of the catchy name! I liked the aesthetics and feel of the game, the wall jumps in particular were really satisfying, but the game felt a little too difficult. I like the dimension switching mechanic but not being able to see where the platforms are going to be until you switch made it feel kind of trial-and-error which I don't think is a good fit if you have limited lives. I think if there was some sort of transparent visual of the other dimension it would make the mid-jump shifts feel more forgiving. Or maybe embrace the difficulty but give the player unlimited lives.
I had fun with it despite the difficulty, it has potential!

Split-BotI found the dimension-switching difficult to get a hang of without being able to see where the platforms would be each time, but the concept has a lot of merit and could easily be refined to something more accessible. With the wall-jumping that everyone has (rightly!) called attention to, I was put in mind of an entire game that's just that one level from Titanfall 2, but in 2D — how wonderful would that be? The theming was fun, too, and I was delighted to explore the adventures of this weird little kingdom and their weird little problems. Fun stuff!

Backstage HeroA bit too hard given that you restart all the way in the beginning if you use up all three lives. Maybe a life power-up somewhere around the 3rd level would be nice.

Chilling Through LifeA cool idea; making the wall jump exaggerated was kind of cool; the visuals and the music also go well together; one problem is the dimension switch; I think it could’ve been executed better because you can go through walls when you switch back; and a bit more learning curve and mechanics would be nice. Still, good job! :D

Flappy BirdCool game to have, the dimesion transition level design is thoughtful, great job!

Infinite Fight Light And ShadowI immediately fell in love with that overpowered wall jump and in my humble opinion the game would have been fine with that as the main feature. the dimension-switch was of course on theme, but it was rather frustrating (guessing where a platform might be) and less fun than the wall jump - especially with that random death thing, because you used shadow dimension too much or whatever the reason - that was full on annoying and made me quite the game in the end. I don't try to be mean here, just unfiltered thoughts of my experience, I hope it is somewhat helpful.
I appreciate the unfiltered opinion as I would rather know the faults then be pandered too and make a sub par game. I agree with you and I unfortunately waffled around for the first part of the jam leaving my self with about 4 days to try and complete everything. (Much of the play testing was done in a few hours before it was due) Thank you for your honest opinion and taking the time to give it a play👍
Cool game! It was a bit difficult for me but I enjoyed it nonetheless!

Equilibrium BlastSuper good game, it's super fun and the music really fits with the game.

Dimensional Brosnice platformer. there was just enough challenge for me, and I liked that wall jump was so powerfull. Nice one!
Submitted
Debugging with Ricktato and potaTimI appreciate you rated my game, so i returned the favor - it is a very nice concept, though my old arthritic hands i couldn't get the double jumps - i may have my kid try it later when he comes to visit.
overall--- great job especially on the dimensional swapping.

Mirror MirrorFun game! dimension shifting adds a level of difficulty for a good challenge, and who doesn't love punching babies, lol. Nice job!

SimSonicLifeI wasn't super sure what was going on in the story, am I a heroic king stopping an uprising or a cruel tyrant beating down the common folk? In my case probably the latter, since I liked to hit the guys off of ledges after clearing a level... 😅
Getting a handle on the dimension shifting was tough for me, there's a need for quick reaction times, precision jumping and layout memorization all at once. While I tried my best to clear every level, the one I got stuck on has a section where you need to do a series of wall jumps and then (I think) get into the end area before switching back to the main dimension again, to land properly and then strike your foes.
Part of the problem was that I'm not too good at the wall jumps and I also kept running out of 'juice' for staying in the alternate dimension. I would have kept at it but losing all my lives and needing to restart from the beginning drained my enthusiasm eventually.
That said it's a well made game which looks and sounds very nice and fits the theme perfectly!

2D PrincessOne of the best submissions in this jam! I really enjoyed it and loved how smart and polished this is. My only comment would be that I wasn't paying attention enough to understand the story, so seeing those people climbing a pole felt really weird :P

Dimension Switch (Jam Submission)I like the general idea you had going on here. It was fun to do. However when it came to using the void, it had it where if i got out of a voice where there was objects like on the third level, it had it where I got stuck inside of it and if I was out of the energy for void it make it where you were completely stuck inside like in the fourth level on the right side. So might want to address that issue with the void making you get stuck in places. Had trouble on the four level with the ladder. But still a fun game you have here.
The concept art and level are very nice, but having to redo all the levels if you restart 3 times is quite punishing and I don’t see a need for it in the game
the ladder was glitchy also, but overall cool experience

Good here, bad thereCool game! I really liked the atmosphere and art style. It had me grinning bigtime despite the game being a little bit on the difficult style (though this is a good match for the pixel art era it resembles!).
