would be nice, if you would check out and rate my game and give me some feedback :)

Cool game! I like the idea, its very unique, well done :)

Very nice graphics. The music enjoyable too. It has the potential of becoming something great. Continue working on it! I really enjoyed it.

Developer

Thank you for checking it out and giving me so much encouragement! Appreciate it!

Just came to let you know my son saw me playing this yesterday and today he played it and was very disappointed at only two levels (I explained to him why). Suffice to say, if you do expand you already have at least one fan :)

Developer

That is probably the greatest complement I have ever read about one of my games. Thank you dearly. I am glad he enjoyed it so much. I do have plans on adding to it in the future. Glad to hear I will have a tester ;) Thanks for checking out my game!

This looks so cool. For some reason keyboard controls are not working for me. I'll come back tomorrow and give this another shot. Looks and sounds fantastic!

Developer

That is weird I have not had any trouble with keyboard controls. No one else has mention that. I hope you are able to play it.

I'll try again! I'm using Chrome. Maybe I'll try Firefox

I really don't know how you pulled off some of those effects, very impressive. Looks like another person ran out of time as well. (I feel like I just made a demo and not even that.) It looks like you know how to use midjourney well. Every time I have tried AI art I get crap. How do you like the Input System. I love the input asset and creating action maps but I've had problems deploying anything without writing callbacks for every button.

Developer

I am a novice with MidJourney. I just got lucky and saw someone use the prompt with Spritesheet in it. As it turns out that word works magic in MidJourney. I happen to have mediocre skills in photoshop. I would just try spritesheet the next time you want to do something with MidJourney. I started looking into shaders lately and a friend of mine showed me some cool tricks that really helped get me started in that path. That is how I do most my effects was with shaders. 

I have to right callbacks as well, but I think the trick is to create a struct or class that holds the inputs. Then you feed those results into that struct/class and then pass that around to the classes that need to access the inputs. That way you abstract all that input stuff away and pretty much keep it to one or two .cs files. I do enjoy the new input system more then the old one. Though I did find a quirk with the new system and WebGL builds. The Controller 2D Vector Composite does not work with the up and down. I had to split it to 2 1D axis instead and combine it in script to make it work. That and invert the Up and Down. Go figure... hopefully the LTS fixes it.

So cool! If you want to test our game there it is: https://astral-creation-studio.itch.io/your-princess-is-in-another-dimension

Very cool! I did struggle a bit figuring out the mechanics, and I think an energy gauge somewhere might have helped with the last segment a bit, but I love the way you interpreted "2 dimensions." I think that aspect worked super well here. Great job!

Submitted(+1)

Very fun and unique gameplay!  I liked the ability to swap between energy to solve puzzles.  Though it took me a second to figure out how to use the ability to pull at first.  Good job!

Developer

Thank you, I have seen a couple people play live, I wish I could have done a better job setting up a level to teach the pulling mechanic a bit better. Glad you were able to figure it out.

Interesting take on the 2 dimension theme. Took me a minute to figure out the mechanics, but made it through pretty easy once I did. I'm sure you could come up with some crazy levels with some more time. The character's voice reminded me of invader zim, which I liked. Good job!

Developer

That made me laugh the voice was a quick add in. I did it by pitching my voice up a bit and adding some reverb with audacity. Thanks for playing my game. I am glad you were able to figure it out. 

Submitted(+1)

I really enjoyed it, the energy mechanic is quite interesting and bet it can make some fun puzzles

Developer

Thank you. I hope to get some new levels and some more polish in the game after the Jam is over. Thanks for playing my game. 

Cool Game, has a lot going for it. It was a little confusing at first about what "minor power" but it made more sense once I figured it out. It seemed all the was required was a level to teach the mechanics but with time and all totally makes sense. Great Game!

Yes, I realized late I was only going to have time for the two levels. I had to cram way to much in the 2nd level. Sorry about that. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for playing my game.

it's really nice graphically and the mechanics work, they create a good challenge too! Great work!

Looks very cool! The idea is curious. I think that it can be further developed and do something more.

Really cool played it in call :)

This was really cool I loved the artwork and flying is always fun, took me a while to figure out a couple of puzzles but overall a great submisssion.

Developer(+1)

Thanks you for checking out my game. I am like you I always like flying in games too. I wish more games let you fly.

The game looks really awesome. I tried it once before the tutorial was added, the blurb really helps in figuring out what I should be doing.

Developer

Thank you for coming back and checking it out after I added the tutorial blurbs in. There were some posts saying that I should do that as a fix. So I took that as a sign. 

Submitted(+1)

Cool concept! I would love to see more levels with this mechanic. Great use of MidJourney, I wish I was able to do something like this with it.

Developer(+1)

I am sure you can the magic word for MidJourney is Spritesheet. Thanks the for the complements on mechanics. I hope to get more levels after the Jam.

Submitted

I'll keep that in mind, thanks!
