fantastic visual style, but the controls are slippery and it's kinda glitchy, so even though i would like to see more of the world it becomes to frustrating as it is now.

ihateatmfees 2013-08-27 03:31

Had a hard time with the controls, but the graphics are really good!

jayjay122 2013-08-27 03:32

Strange worlds, it's fun exploring them.

dudusar 2013-08-27 03:42

Great Art, very psychadelic too :)
Just wanted to say that seems to have some bugs when jumping to some platforms; the protagonist of the dream (nice, huh?) gets stuck.
And sorry, but I didn't really understood what's the main goal and where should I go in the scene. I just kept goin up untill I find the clock.

Inception ! :)

emptyflash 2013-08-27 03:44

Really great mood and aesthetic, but controls and physics were pretty glitchy.

lopiky1 2013-08-27 03:44

this is good :3

Inception gameplay!

The controls are a bit floaty, but mad props for the idea, weirdness and all.

stevecochrane 2013-08-27 03:55

Beautiful visuals, good audio that really fits the mood (no one got credit for the audio? :) ), interesting Inception-like gameplay. I got stuck pretty quickly though... I would immediately go to the third level and get both clocks, but I couldn't figure out how to get past that giant bird (if it's even possible) and if I went up a level I couldn't clear the platforming in the second layer fast enough. I think the platforming might be improved a bit if the player character were smaller.

tamy 2013-08-27 03:57

Thank you guys...yes we had inception as a reference. I'm really glad you guys got the idea,the gameplay still has some flaws as some of you said but we are planning on fixing it!

bonsairobo 2013-08-27 03:57

I like this idea a lot, would love to see it expanded into a full game. I thought that collisions were a bit off with moving platforms.

surrealix 2013-08-27 03:58

The graphics were really cool, and basing the switching-layers mechanism on inception means it's not so hard to describe. However I couldn't figure out what the goal was - I kept dying and the character was hard to control.

deammer 2013-08-27 03:58

Mood is amazing, love the weirdness of it all. Player movement needs to be tightened a bit.

tigerj 2013-08-27 04:00

Interesting game. I love the player animation and the scenes.

tamy 2013-08-27 04:14

As for the goal,you need to find out what the password is.

mamoniemm 2013-08-27 04:43

nice game, why you did not mention the "Down" key previously ? it takes a while to understand it :)

7hesama 2013-08-27 09:29

like others have said, it's got style but the controls, physics, and general like of polish (animations not playing properly, for instance) are a pretty big turn off. I only got to the third level once before I quit, didn't want to go through those sky platforms again.

nicotuason 2013-08-27 10:00

Absolutely beautiful art, I wish I didn't have to fight the controls while exploring this intriguing game.

lidfrid 2013-08-27 11:02

Very cool graphic and art style. The collision system make me ragequit, and i really liked the "inception" idea" and i want to try more :(

pixlexia 2013-08-27 12:17

Amazing visuals.

torvik88 2013-08-27 13:05

Wonderful art and fun to explore dreams but with stiff controls.

tamy 2013-08-27 20:25

Some improvements have been made on the controls and more clear instructions were added too. Hope you enjoy it.

kevinzuhn 2013-08-28 01:50

It really looked stunning, but I had to give up after awkwardly falling off the platforms in the second world twenty times in a row. The fairly long message screen every time I died became frustrating, as I just wanted to get in and try again immediately.

frederickk 2013-08-28 03:33

It's kinda confusing, but very cool idea and awesome art!
Great job guys!

tamy 2013-08-28 04:18

Thanks fred,you're the best!

savethejets1 2013-08-28 04:32

Great visuals and mood! The collision code might use a bit of tweaking, I kept getting stuck on the sides of platforms. Great work though!

tamy 2013-08-28 07:48

@savethejets1 thank you very much! We are working on the collisions,I'm really glad you liked it,it's really appreciated.

spotlightor 2013-08-29 04:56

Good use of the theme. I love the art style and mood. Character control and physics need some improvement.

drkrunk 2013-08-31 00:09

Well done. I liked it. I loved the visuals, very interesting.

siat 2013-08-31 01:33

This game is gorgeous and such an interesting take on the 10 seconds theme. The controls were a bit tough to use, though.

1fir3 2013-08-31 07:44

Interesting, fresh idea ! but hard to controll the player. and where was the code? in QR ?

Gnux 2013-08-31 08:57

Very nice graphics!

awesomesauce 2013-08-31 15:49

Thought the art and ambiance was great. We considered the "inception" idea too. Nice work!

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-31 20:34

Very cool game. I enjoyed it very much, sort of scary-yet fun. I featured it in my Ludum Dare 27 video compilation series, if you'd like to check it out, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGdyZZ8iT10

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-31 20:35

well, Your game isnt scary at all- sorry about that, thought I was commenting on a different game that I also featured in that video. Deep is very cool, but some what glitchy. I did like the fact that each level wasnt just 10 seconds long but more of several levels of each 10 seconds. Its great!

fgielow 2013-09-02 23:06

Really like the visual, and the Inception concept. But the level design and the colliders for the platform movements are very frustrating.
But really good entry.

antidote 2013-09-03 01:44

Love the visuals :) Couldn't quite figure out what to do D: I figure I have to find something on the sky layer to put on the other layer, but I couldn't find anything ;[

atmospherium 2013-09-03 02:10

Really cool art, really cool gameplay design. You guys should definitely consider expanding on this idea and polishing it up a bit. With some control tweaks and a bit of fine-tuning on the difficulty I think this game would definitely get a lot of attention.

tamy 2013-09-03 02:39

Thanks everyone! your comments are very appreciated,we thank you all for playing our game and making suggestions on what should be improved,we will certainly work on those.

tamy 2013-09-03 02:44

@Atmospherium Thank you VERY much,we're glad you liked our game. We will definetely try to make something more polished out of it,thanks again for your comment and support.

foxtacy 2013-09-04 00:32

Great job, really

fferro234 2013-09-06 04:27

Great visuals. Like other have said the collision is kind of rough at places. This is a great idea though, and a post ludum dare version with a slightly slower clock (or more time in each world) would be awesome.
