Hey, pretty cool shader there ! Only thing missing is a bit of delay after we just jumped to be able jump just after leaving a platform, it's a must when precise jumps are needed !! Great work here !

Ahhh this is amazing!! I really appreciated watching this because I don't have a Windows computer to play this on myself LOL. Really cool to hear my sounds in action :')

Nice game, ambience its pretty good in both worlds with the sounds and music. I agree it is a bit difficult but nothing too crazy (at least for me), the movement felt a bit weird, there seems to be no coyote time or very small window which made me fall a few times but the shooting feels nice  and you can hit the enemies relatively easy. In the end its all blends very well.

I was like awww such a cute little game, until I hit R :D The atmosphere is great, I really like the ambience. The leaves falling, grass rustling. It gives you a cozy feeling. Probably I am not the first one to tell you, it is a little bit hard. My main difficulty was hitting the little imp thing that comes super fast. BUT it is good that you gave it a flying sound, so I could at least aticipate it. A very intersting entry and much more than what meets the eye on the first glance.


p.s.: your game reminds me that I should really start to learn shaders. They add so much to the game.

art is some of the best I've seen so far this jam, great work on that. gameplay itself can be a little frustrating at times. there's not really enough time to react to the enemies, and if you die you go all the way back to the beginning. i would make it a little more forgiving, like just send a player back to a nearby checkpoint if they fall off the map. this one looks great though, nice work!

Developer

thankyou so much for your kind feedback and i appreciate you taking time playing the game and submitting a review for it.. 

yeah ive been told the game is kind of difficult gameplay wise, and for the checkpoints yeah its more like if ure in the normal world it would take u 3 times to fall off to restart the whole level, but the alternate world kills u instantly. 

i really hope u enjoyed playing our game. thankyou again for this kind review!

Cute little platformer~! I liked the effects and polish you added to the alternate world. The distortion and change to music was a nice touch. Had difficulties with shooting enemies and platformers, but enjoyed the experience regardless.

Congrats on your first GWJ!

A really charming little platformer. Cool art style especially.

I found it a bit difficult to shoot enemies because the camera was so zoomed in there wasn't alot of time to react to them coming
