This is a really creative concept I love the shifting perspective when the gameplay changes up too! The intro cutscene was a bit too fast to read but the visuals are really nice! great work, this concept is pretty solid and with some polish could be turned into a full game easily :]

Thanks for playing and for the screenshot!! (We didn't have enough time adding a boss level, so the last level is what we could provide :D Hope you like it!) And glad you like the concept and art!

We do plan to polish the game and expand more levels and mechanics to publish a full game! (Hope we can make it!)

Hi. We really think your game is one of the best in the jam. We created a youtube video and we mentioned it. If you'd like to watch it

Thank you. Great game.

The aestheic with art and style was very charming. The mechanics, once puzzled out, were also engaging. The design seemed to encourage slow & methodical gameplay so it could be punishing if rush, but still fun.

Good job!

The music and artwork work well together to set a really nice mood for the game. Some of the story panels at the beginning go by way too fast though.

The gameplay is quite fun, although very glitchy. I was often getting flung off the top of the map when the gravities switched, and a few times the key drifted outside of the playable area.

Still a fun game, nice work!

I thought the controls on this game were really good (for moving and jumping).  In fact, I played this game a lot longer than many of the others, since the movement was fluid and fun.  And very smooth.  I also liked the idea of the flipping gravity.  And I really liked the intro level to show you about jumping and double jumping.  Any time a game can do that, without the user having to read a lot of text, that's fantastic.  The intro wording scrolled by a little too quickly, since with the interesting title, I was reading slowly and really wanted to understand the backstory, so I missed 1/2 of it.  But overall, the fluid movement made this fun.  I agree with the others about not knowing exactly what will kill you at first.  But you did a nice job with little touches like the arrows of the falling items to show which way they will fall.  One other note:  In the first couple of levels:  I found it was much much easier when the gravity switched.  So I found myself waiting and being able to solve each level only from the second gravity position, since the movement was much easier and unblocked.  But with more time, you could really perfect each level, so that you have to use specific strategy on both areas.   Anyway, this was the most fun of the games I've rated, really nice job!

Thanks for the feedback!! We're glad that you enjoyed the game!

Yea, the second gravity is pretty powerful with low risk. We are thinking about designing some levels that requires balanced strategy on both gravity, as you mentioned, or adding some unique mechanics to limit the second gravity.

This game has some great potential is seems to only be held back by that 48-hour time constraint. I really enjoyed the platforming, esp. with the twist two kinds of gravity. The art was also top-notch and very stylistic, and I thought matched the music pretty well.

As others have echoed, I had some difficulty understanding when things would and wouldn't try to kill me, as well as what was triggering the gravity to switch. The first tutorial was awesome and clearly explained everything. I especially liked the double-jump being communicated with a second, smaller space-bar on top. Just do more of that, please (if you had time, that 48 hour limit is rough haha). Just something pointing to the timer in the top-right on the second level, or some text saying that you can't collect the key until all the enemies have been killed would go a long way, or that health packs only actually heal you in certain gravity. 

But that's all polish, and what you made in the time limit is awesome. With some more time to expand the tutorial and such, I could see this game doing very well.

 Thank you so much for your warm comments and feedbacks!! Glad you enjoyed it!

The enemies in the level is not needed to be killed to collect the key, but it's a good inspiration for future levels! We hope to leave some space for players exploring by themselves. So slower tutorial levels on the behavior of enemies might help and clarify it, I guess.

Cool game, but a lot of things lacked clarity. Sometimes I would go to the key and it would move away, sometimes into the dead-zone (which also wasn't clear to the player, just a simple red line or something could work). And sometimes when I get hit the damage seemed to be inconsistent. Adding sound effects and visual queues would do wonders for stuff like this and maybe instead of the timer you could have a toggle button to switch modes, that would allow for some really cool level design. There also seemed to be a bug where my character wouldn't always heal after respawning. Overall I liked it though and would like to see more if you continue with it.

Thanks a lot for playing and for the detailed and valuable feedback!! We'll work on those issues after the jam and expand more on the game.
