Nice music, but the controls are somewhat less responsive than I'd like. Maybe the scale of the character is just too "snug" for the scale of the levels, fits just too tightly to the space.

Pretty good, but a little hard I think

gingerbeast 2014-04-28 22:27

I enjoyed it a lot, I found it quite hard having the space bar to change modes and "w" for jump. For me it would have been much easier with "e" to switch worlds and space to jump :)

Its a good idea and fun to play. It took me a while to learn all the differences of colors

Enjoyed its music and its graphics, although I can think of a game with similar mechanics. However, I'd rather like the camera moving to show more left-side when moving left.
Pretty nice implementation of its mechanics and nice level design. It's a different interpretation of the theme, so I'll upvote on theme.

Agreeing with some previous statements about the controls: space to jump and E to switch would be good. Other than that, this is really good!

Liked the transition between characters

cosinep 2014-04-28 23:08

Really liked the game. The speed up was really slow, but it was still really fun to play! I was like, one more try. Ok, one more. Ok, I really should move on. WHY DID I PRESS SPACE AGAIN?

adamwoolridge 2014-04-28 23:26

Agree with the control issues. Nice visual style!

this was very enjoyable. reminds me of giana sisters twisted dreams. good job.

Love the art. The art looks really good and fits the mood. The controls are sluggish; the character doesn't accelerate fast enough.

foolmoron 2014-04-28 23:35

Controls weren't the best, but I loved the platforming tricks you could do by skillfully switching between light/dark. That kept me playing all the way to the end.

Great interpretation of the theme, plus, I liked the way you had to change between the two forms to complete. Some parts were really difficult though, requiring really fast swapping, but still, it was nice to play it. Good job!

The graphics are gorgeous, the audio is pretty good. The mechanic is one of my favorite in games, although I tend to prefer it in slower paced games. This is an interesting sort of race to the finish type game with a complicated path to memorize - which is cool, but it's very hard.

The entire jumping mechanic is just strange too, you stop on a dime in mid air but have acceleration? I don't really understand it. Adds to the challenge, but not in a good way IMO. And I hate to harp on controls, but space is jump in my head and I just had a tough time unlearning that. Would have much preferred something like E for swap worlds and space for jump.

Overall, pretty good entry. It's fun, feels fairly polished, looks great, has a really good mood and feel to it, sounds good. Lots of gameplay if you like this genre. Good entry, great work!

Great graphics, you should work a little more on the gameplay but it's a good game!

littleball 2014-04-29 12:05

Hard, but good. Well done

pancakecity 2014-04-29 18:23

I found the puzzles rather challenging, nice!

darknessfades 2014-04-29 18:31

Took some time but I;ve finally beat it, hard but beatable - just how I like it

thorig 2014-04-30 10:36

The music is a bit happy for a devil like person. Nice game.

orangepascal 2014-04-30 17:05

controls need a bit of tweaking I think to make it less frustrating, but I do like the game element of switching evil/normal

rincewind_cz 2014-05-01 09:19

It's too slow, but this gives it special feeling. I also like the music and it's transition during the world changes. But I can't see the theme connection here.

ccglp 2014-05-01 15:43

Art, music and the dual gameplay makes this game rock solid I enjoy it!

landosystems 2014-05-01 20:13

Cool concept, nice graphics and theme interpretation. Jumping could be a little frustrating though.

Also the web version said my browser (chrome) doesn't support webgl after it gets past the LibGDX loading screen, which is a damn lie... not sure what happened with that since my game is using LibGDX also and the web version runs fine.

chronoberry 2014-05-03 21:44

Sweet art! It's a bit hard to tell which blocks are usable when in devil mode. Nice interpretation of the theme.

shigor 2014-05-08 09:02

Control issues, as stated by previous guys, are dragging it a bit down, otherwise nice inventive platformer.

kristof 2014-05-08 11:45

Cool jump & run. Feels responsive and looks and sounds good. The choice of keys to control the character on the other hand is not so good in my opinion. I kept pressing space to jump. That was a bit frustrating. But that is a minor complaint.

d2fxrayg 2014-05-08 15:31

Platforming wasn't too tight but I like how the music changes as the switch wolrds.

kevinworkman 2014-05-10 14:24

This is an interesting concept, but the platforming is a little bit too clunky and a little bit too difficult, which makes the game more frustrating than fun. With just a little bit of polishing though, this could be a really fun game!
