Looking for Feedback on DualVerse86 – Playable in Browser!

Hey everyone!

I’m a solo indie dev working on DualVerse86, a retro-inspired 2D parkour adventure. In this game, you jump between glitchy virtual worlds, dodge obstacles, and uncover hidden secrets. 

The goal is to race through levels and set record times while collecting items along the way.

I’d love to hear any feedback on gameplay, visuals, or mechanics! The playtest is free and runs directly in your browser (no download needed). Thanks for checking it out and helping shape the game!

Seems like a solid game!

My only suggestion would be to maybe start the player out with an easier level. Before progressing them to the first level you play in the demo.

I know the tutorial helps with that, but it still seemed quite a jump from the tutorial to the first level.

Thank you so much for playing and for taking the time to give me your feedback! I really appreciate your suggestion about adjusting the progression—it’s super helpful to know where the jumps in difficulty might feel a bit abrupt. I’ll definitely keep this in mind as I work on balancing for the final version. Thanks again for your support!

Hi, nice visual and soundtrack, level design keeps a good pacing. 

That`s why i want to feel the speed from the character, but now he looks like running on ice.

Bugs I found:

  • Holding SPACE will freez the jump animation.
  • Endless rolling animation between platforms.
  • When you slide on a wall, hold down the movement button in the direction of the wall and jump, the character will bounce off the air and return to almost the same place.

Ah, and SHIFT key, sticky keys saying "hello". :)

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback and for taking the time to try the game! I’ll look into these issues and work on improvements.

thanks J1G

I’ve just released a new update for DualVerse86 as part of Improve My Game Jam 36

Here’s what’s new:

  • Simplified and more intuitive controls for a smoother experience.
  • A brand-new intro scene to add context and immerse you in the story.
  • Freshly composed music for the intro scene. 
  • An improved tutorial – longer and more technical to help you master the switch mechanic before diving into Beta-City.
  • A simpler, more user-friendly menu for easy navigation.

I’d love to hear what you think about these changes! Your feedback is super valuable and will help me refine the game further.

You can play the updated version here: 🔗 DualVerse86 on Itch.io
