Good idea, but a bit tricky at times...

I am not sure EXACTLY what was happening all of the time, but I got to the point where abstraction was helping. Some cool, unique elements to it that I really liked.

Wow quite trippy!

I enjoyed the disjointed 8-bit sound track, and whistling was a neat mechanic. I did get lost after clearing the first jump, and didn't know what to do after that :(

That was great! Didn't really understand what was going on but really enjoyed it. Love the minimalist art that was being generated.

Confused, intrigued and mystified I am. Funky double world. Didn't get how they were exactly related, but got by anyways. :)

Pretty trippy

Not quite sure I was able to figure it out. It was really confusing trying to watch both sides.

exergy 2013-04-30 22:20

Very innovative! Liked the idea. A bit more work on the left side and this is a winner!

vandriver 2013-04-30 22:20

man i loved the hell out of this. the whistle sound got a bit grating after playing a bit, especially on the later levels where you're constantly bouncing around on invisible platforms. you really have to spam it too much for that noise!

really damn fun, though.

Interesting idea but very tricky to play. I still have not managed to climb on the blue thing.

A sidenote: On Firefox I was getting only 6fps, but switching to Chrome got me to 59fps.

i liked the idea.. and the sound.. the whistle was great.. good job man :)

thanks for all the comments! I wasn't sure if anybody could like that :) you show me the contrary, thx

kunzbe 2013-04-30 23:12

@whilefun: the blue boxes will push you to the left (go left :) )

I love the stick-figure animation! The gameplay is pretty unique and really interesting.

mark_hildreth_ld 2013-04-30 23:24

Interesting mechanic, although a bit tough to figure out (still not sure I get it entirely). The audio was cool but thee was one note that it kept hitting that reminded me of the sound a speaker makes when the audio program is glitching out :(

martin_monosys 2013-04-30 23:24

Oh... first I didn't get it, then, well... still not quite... But it's a good game! :)

Apologies for simply echoing the sentiments of so many others, but I also found this game pleasantly confusing. There is definitely potential here for a fascinating mechanic, I think it just needs a bit more polish to be made at least slightly more comprehensible. Then again, the confusion almost feels like it improves the experience somehow, so maybe perfect clarity wouldn't be suitable for what you're trying to accomplish?

kunzbe 2013-04-30 23:59

@dreamlogician:
what I tried to accomplish is to force the player to use a confusing abstraction of a simple as possible world (left screen) as a helping mechanism to guide him through the world.

qaterknan 2013-05-01 18:21

Wow, in the beginnig, it was really confusing, but as soon as I found out what was happening, I really enjoyed it! But on the other hand, it got a bit boring after a while and the audio pretty annoying.

jacic 2013-05-01 18:31

Took me a minute to understand what was going on, but it was fun! And quite difficult.

dualtagh 2013-05-01 19:13

Trippy game, I like it

saggiosoft 2013-05-02 10:01

Very innovative. Only one flaw: it's a bit to slow on my pc.

symmeteer 2013-05-07 06:21

That was wacko and quite fun!

aestheticgamer 2013-05-20 05:10

I... I don't get it...
