Short and sweet! I liked it. It was fun to control 2 characters at the same time and make them interact and help out each other. The comic book style art was also very nice.

If I were to change anything, I'd make the camera fixed instead of moving up when jumping.

It is "Shadow Play".

They announced in a Zoom session yesterday. It seems they haven't updated the itch page yet.

Thanks for playing! Yeah, that 3rd level was quite a difficulty spike. It was a classic mistake of mistaking difficult things as being mechanically deep and fun. I either should have toned it down a bit or had the difficulty scale more linearly.

Hey, it is whack-a-mole with extra dopamine! Great job!

Needs a moving sideways sprite! The music fits the theme really nicely.

Cool mechanic, I like how you split to reach spaces you couldn't without and then fuse back. Though, I couldn't get used to the controls. It would be nice if you could change the direction of the split. It should be sort of like throwing a rope.

This is cool. Simple but fun!

Great stuff! Love the AI and the sprite work. It is a bit difficult for me though, haha. A few comments:

The weapon durability is interesting. It encourages trying out new weapons but can be a bit frustrating at first.

I kind of hate the shield guy. There is no way to hit him aside from waiting him to become tired?

And lastly, I would like to go between rooms just straightaway instead of having to interact.

Hope you found this useful!

Presentation is top solid bro. Superb production quality. Very consistent and distinct art style. Sound design and music is really good. Love the lighting.

My biggest criticism would be the controls. Pressing "Up" to jump is not intuitive at all. I would have really preferred a more dynamic jump with more height and air control.

There are also some bugs with collision. You can get stuck in the see-saw area when you push it too far to the left. But it is not that big of a deal.

Hey! Found out about you from your post on Facebook. Really love the presentation and the production here. Love the details such as the number of toilet paper rolls representing the number of days and being able to flush the toilet with the paper roll inside. You spend the whole game in the room but establish different vibes through just lighting and sound design only, that was super neat. I still have no idea what the story is about but I enjoyed the vagueness and open-ended nature of it. The calendar year and date was not what I expected (I wonder what's the true intent behind it). The last piano piece felt out of place that I literally laughed out loud there but it adds to the charm of the game in a good way. All in all, a great short experience. Looking forward to Silent Reverie!

Just played through the demo on Steam for a few minutes. A few thoughts :

1. The main character looks like a boy though I feel that may have been intentional.

2. The diagonal movement is slower than the cardinal movement. It really feels off trying to move.

3. You can't exit a room through the door immediately after you enter it.

4. The presentation feels nice though to be frank I lost interest half-way. Hope there isn't combat in the game. It feels like a good take on the Earthbound/Undertale formula.

5. Also good name! I was able to remember it even after a few months seeing it.

Anyway, good job! Hope the bugs I have described have already been fixed in the current build.

It's not bad. A few things - 

1, You should try to have a WebGL build instead of an .apk file. It is quite a bit of a hassle so not many people will be trying to play it.

2. The controls don't work sometime. I swipe but the player doesn't always respond. I would also love more air time on the jump. I jump over the obstacle but I die because the player falls back immediately.

3. Some of the sections are too difficult. Really need precise timing. What you could do is start with easy sections and move those difficult parts to the later part of the game.

4. I do like how the sections are unique and different from each other. You have done a good job with procedural generation.

Ever want to know what instant teleportation feel like? Now you can in this game featuring both tight platforming and brain-scratching puzzles! https://xlash2.itch.io/anominal

Glad you liked it!

Thank you so much for your feedback! Key bindings is definitely something I'd need to add on sooner or later. Moving enemies are indeed included in the later chapters (though unfortunately not in this demo).

Congratulations on getting #1 in visuals! Very well-deserved. Just a suggestion, I think this could have worked really well in first-person view (sort of like Refunct if you've ever heard of that game), that way you don't have to have a separate model for the player while simultaneously allowing to take in the environment more.

Very cool gameplay-wise. The core concept is well-designed. Other than that, I died on a ramp and I got in a infinite dying loop.

Unique and fun gameplay. Was too hard for me though.

Submitted 23 seconds before deadline. Extra props for that!

Super cool man! You did a much better job than me on the same concept.

Simple gameplay executed very well. And awesome presentation as well (music and animations).

Loved the minimap implementation and the take on urban exploration but the visual bug really gets to you, haha.

Cool stuff man. It is like a mini-metroidvania and fits the jam's theme very well.

Short and sweet. Love the polish - the screen shake and trail.

Only got to 2 diamonds my man. The rest I couldn't find at all.

Cool gameplay man. My only complaint would be its length. I wanted to play more, haha.

The production quality man, it is top-notch! Sorry for being a wuss, but I can't play through jumpscare horror games.

Liked the split-screen thing, the sort of thing you'd see in speedrun races. Felt more like racing than exploration though!

Interesting gameplay man. Reminds me of that minigame from WarioWare. But to be frank, this doesn't adhere to the jam theme much.

Great job man. This is the coolest one I've played so far.

Really nice game man. Super cool level design!

So I am having this problem after putting the code in my project.

When I press and hold the "Jump" button again while in mid-air, I somehow get a sudden downward momentum and bring my player much faster than the up movement.

It also happens when I time the jump to the frame when the player becomes grounded in which case the player jumps at a higher speed than normal.

At first, I thought it was because I was using the old Unity input system. So I changed it to the new input system with the "context.called" thingies just like in the code but I am still having problems. It also happens after limiting max air jumps to zero, setting to no variable jump height and disabling both jump buffers and coyote time.

So yeah, I am at a complete loss on how to fix this for the past few days. Any clue on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. (Think I need to change something in the new input manager?)
