Really neat mechanic. I feel like this is something that could be polished and expanded on.

Developer

Thank you!

This is very well done. The levels are very interesting, and were pretty fun to go through. Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your feedback and for playing too!

This was great, I really love the splitting mechanic. I really hope to see more of this in the future and you're breathtaking too :)

Developer

Thank you, i am glad you liked it!

I really liked your game!

It's funny that we both had 'almost' the same idea (regarding the mechanics: moving two Characters at the same time (in different dimensions), trying to get to a Goal at the same time - that was my original intent... but in the end for the sake of time (and for not making the game more difficult) my team decided to allow the Main characters go across the Portal / Door even if it is not at the same time)... the difference in mechanics is basically a 2.5D vs 3D: and even that changed the whole game and perspective a lot.

Your game idea is very cool, and the Visual art + the Lighting work perfect together. For me the "Restart Level" menu was a necessity a couple of times... (I found myself bisecting the Levels and distances to be able to solve the puzzle : )   I got my: "You are Breathtaking" at the end.

I had fun, thank you for sharing your game.

Thanks for playing the game and enjoyed it, i really appreciate it!
I also noticed the similarity of ideas, when played your game, i hope you will continue to work on it!

Submitted(+1)

Yes, I will continue working on my game.

I also hope you continue working on yours, as it is fun.

Cheers.

Great mechanics!, the models, music and the rest is also quite cool. I like the concept of the split and that the place you choose to split matters, super clever. Good work 🙌

Developer

Thank you, i am glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

I'm breathtaking!

In the final level, I often had an issue were merging caused the player to disappear entirely, or in one case the astral version didn't appear and then couldn't be re-merged. Other than that it worked great, I really loved being able to merge while in the air and getting pulled to a platform that neither the main character or their astral self would have landed on otherwise. :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Yeah, the level where you land on the platform by merging with your copy is my favorite too!
I will check this last level bug, several people have already encountered it.

Submitted(+1)

Great job guys I enjoyed the art style very much :D.

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

Very cool idea, one of the best take on the theme! The level design is good and the movement feels very responsive, great job on that part. There seem to be some occasional bugs, but that's to be expected with such mechanics, in a jam. Nothing major to add, I really liked it.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your feedback, i really appreciate it!

Awesome game! Really satisfying sfx and smooth animations! I really enjoyed the splitting mechanic! I also found a bug, (thank you for the restart level button :) )


I was on the far left side with the first copy and the right with the second but wanted to merge closer to the exit so I jumped to get a straight path but it merged the clones outside the map somewhere.

Developer(+1)

What a buggy day today xD i will check it out, thanks for the feedback!

And thank you for playing my game, i am glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

Wow! This game is awesome! Cool 3D graphics, music and gameplay!

But i found a bug. :)

If you go close to the right wall and separate Dimension, your copy will be created behind the wall.

Developer

Thanks for playing and thanks for the bug report too :D
I will try to repeat this bug today, i thought I did a check to create a copy near the wall, but it looks like something went wrong.

Submitted(+1)

No you are breathtaking!
It is awesome puzzle experience. Sometimes its hard to see an edge since its 3D from an angle. But what a nie game, Great job!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

do you have a normal zip? 7zip doesn't work for me....

Developer

have added a normal zip

Submitted

Thank you! Now that I could play your game I rly liked it - the way you use both separate and merge to advance is very well made
Couldn't get past level 4 though...and when you stand on the right side with your face against the wall I managed to seperate OOB and had to restart the level

I haven't rated many of the games in the jam but I do say that the core mechanic of your game it's one of the best, specially the merge ability to solve one of the rooms.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback, i really appreciate it!

Submitted(+1)

Nice game, I really like the aesthetic, the music and the level design. So all in one a pretty solid game.

Developer

Thank you, i am really glad you like it!

Submitted(+1)

Oh thank you what a compliment in the end! :) 

I'm not normally a fan of puzzles and the last level did create me some issues that started to annoy me (My own skills were the reasoning for that), I was probably able to cheese it a bit, I just slighty nudged over the edge to get the right side to drop down on the button. 

But anyway a great game and I especially enjoyed the mechanic where you had to split at a certain point so that once you merged it was the only way to get to the portal/door, that was genious! :)

I was able to break the split at one point, with the other character dissapearing and I couldn't merge in anyway. I think it was in the last level or the second last level, where I just went right on the very edge of the right side and jumpt while pressing split, I think the other character clipped through a wall or something perhaps. I could see the red line, but couldn't merge at any position and didn't see the other person. Took me a while to find the pause menu as well, since ESC wasn't working :D

Thank you for a great submission and a great game! 

Developer

Wow, thank you for your review and i am glad you completed the game!
I will check that bug with the other character disappearing, i hope i can figure out the reason.

Really cool mechanic! And you made pretty clever use of each of it's aspects in your puzzles! Really nice work!

Developer

Graphics, sound and tie-in with the theme are solid. Good puzzler. Great job!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

Nice!

Just need to tune the difficulty or work into how to use the mechanic of Splitting...

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for playing and your feedback, i will think about it.
