Nice itch.io page and presentation overall. The concept of overlapping realities in the forest is really interesting and fits the theme well. I liked the visual style of the environment and the art assets worked nicely for the atmosphere of the platformer.
The mechanic of switching between realities while platforming is a really cool idea. However, I found the jump + reality-switch combo fairly difficult with the keyboard layout. With the number of jumps required, it became hard to execute consistently unless I could use a controller. The idea itself is strong, but the input combination made the challenge spike pretty quickly.
One thing that might help players is a subtle opacity or ghosted preview of platforms in the other world. That could give players a hint about where things will appear when they switch realities and make planning jumps easier.
I also didn’t hear any gameplay audio during my playthrough, which made the experience feel a bit quieter than expected. Some environmental sound or feedback for actions could help reinforce the atmosphere.
One thing that happens a lot in jams is that developers naturally become very skilled at their own mechanics during development, so difficulty can creep up without realizing it. A little external playtesting can really help balance those moments.
Overall though, this is a really solid first jam entry, especially finishing a full mechanic like the reality-shift platforming. Nice work getting it completed and submitted.
