Neat idea! Seems a little buggy. I had visible blocks that I fell into. Had fun jumping around.

archaeometrician 2013-12-16 04:31

Really cool ! I love LD for that, you play cool game where concept are innovative and immersive. Great job !

switchbreak 2013-12-16 04:32

That's a really interesting gimmick! I finished the levels, the last one was really hard. Probably shouldn't rely on tricky precise corner jumps so much.

job_ 2013-12-16 06:30

Buggy, but cool. Fun to play. Nothing to say. :)

mactinite 2013-12-16 06:37

This one was interesting at first and I actually liked the mechanic. but then it turned into a game of die,memorize, repeat.

y2bd 2013-12-16 07:22

It's a really, really interesting concept! I do think though that it should be worked upon. Were the blocks all looking the same on purpose?

parapup 2013-12-16 07:42

Wow this is a great game very nicely done.

biscuitdough 2013-12-16 08:03

Took me a bit to get it, but really innovative idea. Moving from one cell to the next could feel a little buggy, and the platforming was a little too picky.

madmaw 2013-12-16 08:15

I like the concept of partial information in a platformer, there's something worth exploring here

chardish 2013-12-16 09:01

Clever concept!

primaerfunktion 2013-12-16 09:22

I noticed a few collision bugs too. But I really like what you have done here.

crockid5 2013-12-16 09:39

Doesn't really fit the theme.

feizenbara 2013-12-16 09:48

Interesting! I had to replay it several times to understand the basic gameplay, but once you got it, it's nice. Only arts need a real improvement :-)

crowbeak 2013-12-16 10:11

This is a really cool idea that I would like to see fleshed out.

captainnakou 2013-12-16 10:33

I don't get it the link with the theme, but the idea still very good!

gupta_shvm 2013-12-16 11:46

Seems interesting, albeit a little confusing.

alvarop 2013-12-16 15:21

Kind of buggy but I liked the idea. Pretty hard though!

plugnplay 2013-12-16 15:42

Very innovative game mechanic. Seems like something to build on after ludumdare.

robinerd 2013-12-16 15:44

Nice puzzle mechanics!! I had no trouble with understanding the camera system, but I guess the unknown blocks could have been visualized in a more ghost or silhouette-like way to clarify, since the current rock-ish texture looks rather solid.

rocketduke 2013-12-16 23:26

Cool concept!

thein 2013-12-16 23:38

Great idea. I would have loved to see more levels. The jumps on the last level are pretty difficult.

zconnelly13 2013-12-17 01:56

This was a really great concept, it did feel a little off / buggy but I love it!

cheshyr 2013-12-17 02:18

i like the concept, and I enjoyed playing through the available levels. Clever. Excellent work!

piat 2013-12-17 02:22

Really interesting mechanics, and well executed.

sean-noonan 2013-12-17 03:07

A little confusing in regards to player collision.

van-noctar 2013-12-17 03:50

Really funny! I like the hidden platform!

endesga 2013-12-17 04:08

Quite buggy, but fun nonetheless!
I didn't get to play much because the 'cameras' were acting weird and a spike looked the same as a block :/
But I loved how it was 3D yet in two dimensions! Very nice!

vladp 2013-12-17 07:47

Nice work. But the cameras are not working properly, it shows spikes as solid blocks sometimes.

adventureislands 2013-12-17 09:36

Hey not bad. Interesting idea to add more player vision with upgrades.

I had some problems playing it though, there is no telling what blocks are harmful and what are goals as they all look the same.

binary_girl 2013-12-17 15:48

well done man.. interesting concept ..i sure there were a few collision bug but good job :)

megaelliott 2013-12-17 19:00

It's fairly buggy, but was fun just running around jumping on blocks, kinda like mario :D also quite difficult XD

lilinx 2013-12-17 19:14

interesting!

toureiro 2013-12-17 21:47

Interesting mechanic.

spellingphailer 2013-12-17 22:51

Liked the idea! A little short though.

jprogman 2013-12-18 03:03

You got a great concept there! I didn't get the idea of playing after a minute of trying, but I got the hang of it.

venks 2013-12-18 03:35

Very interesting visual system. It took a little experimentation to understand the level layout and those spikes were my friends for awhile. I'd like to see this idea expanded upon, but would like jumping to be a bit more powerful.

diptoman 2013-12-18 09:59

Clever concept, but lacking in execution unfortunately. Keep working on it!

derosa 2013-12-18 11:00

A bit confusing at first, but really original.

sylence 2013-12-18 12:45

Great idea that is fun to play

jhelle 2013-12-18 13:33

Nice concept. Collision felt a bit buggy but is was enjoyable!

daredevildave 2013-12-18 14:35

Very clever concept. A bit too difficult for me and it took quite a while to get my head around it.

ashkoredracson 2013-12-18 15:37

Very innovative gameplay, I really like the idea of seeing in only "1D", makes the game pretty harder after a while, nice job !

ghandhi 2013-12-18 16:41

The best thing in this game was a field of vision. It gave this game a unique mood that I've didn't see in any other. Good game overall.

coloniergames 2013-12-18 16:46

Nice game! But what the charachter is? A bean?

thatguy 2013-12-18 17:09

Thank you all for your kind words. Along with playing all the submitted games, I've been hard at work implementing a more fully featured version of the game, including many of your suggestions. I'll host it on Newgrounds as a separate link.

The static looking bean was meant to show that you can only look out, that you don't actually know what you look like. Unfortunately, multiple system crashes during the last couple hours had me cut the story and music.

vaelzan 2013-12-18 19:00

Cool concept, initially a bit confusing and frustrating though. I did have a bit of fun after a couple of goes though.

whiteknife 2013-12-18 19:43

Very interesting idea, and pretty fun to play! Good job!

dudsen 2013-12-18 21:45

Doesn't fit my taste of games, but still very solid mechanics!

aaants 2013-12-18 21:54

Interesting concept. Nice job!

nelien 2013-12-19 03:35

The concept is really cool, it made me think about what is the most important info my brain uses when playing platformers. With a bit more work on graphics & audio you'd have a really great game on your hands.

veiadoida 2013-12-19 17:57

a very good concept! i had to restart many times to test possibilities. very nice!

recursor 2013-12-19 21:12

Very interesting game idea.

somepx 2013-12-19 23:33

Good concept, a clever game

javifugitivo 2013-12-20 04:31

Seems interesting! But Im very confused about the mechanic..

angelk 2013-12-20 05:18

I like the extra effort trying to do something unique with the theme. The game is fairly punishing.

unusualcadence 2013-12-20 14:29

Very tricky game, but I enjoyed the idea behind it! Something different for sure

glovecat 2013-12-20 16:35

I catch the concept very soon and man you found gold. You could make a good and long game with this idea. Please make it, I will play it. Amazing Job!

shaunlebron 2013-12-21 16:32

Great idea! It was fun trying to figure out which cameras to buy so I could make it through the level. The presentation could be cleaned up, but the idea is solid.

techblogogy 2013-12-21 17:20

Nice game

reverend-speed 2013-12-21 22:05

It's certainly an interesting gimmick, but as mactinite said, it turns into a game of die, memorise, repeat. Perhaps there could be other penalties for hitting spikes than just dying - maybe you could get changed into an earlier state, perhaps. Now you can't fly, etc...

william_edwards 2013-12-21 22:43

A really fun concept. Damn difficult to make long jumps. If the player movement was more classic platformer feeling, and perhaps the view was more of a cone than a straight line, this would be really cool. Full of potential; a simple take on the theme that so far I haven't found another entry doing :)

hypnohustla 2013-12-22 12:59

Fun idea for a game. :) Movement felt a bit clunky. It was a nice touch that you could reset the upgrades between levels. This could be expanded to an even better experience :)
