Very cool game, I enjoyed playing it. I liked the puzzly elements and the overall graphical look of the game.

mihic_ts 2014-04-28 08:32

I like the graphics and the mood, but pixel jumps are so hard to do correctly..

lewisw 2014-04-28 08:38

Very nice audiovisual presentation and a great concept. I feel like the jumping is WAAAAY too unforgiving though. Maybe I just suck but its very frustrating getting stuck when you know what you are supposed to do but can't get the precision timing and positioning right to actually make it through. Could have maybe used checkpoints or something.

codehat 2014-04-28 08:39

I know jumping is a bit hard. The collision polygon aren't the best. I will look if I change the collision a bit.

donan 2014-04-28 08:43

Really col game :D
Pixel collision makes it a bit hard but the overall its really good.

jorgemoag 2014-04-28 09:23

Wow, and html5? very cool

reinkout 2014-04-28 09:23

Great graphics, and i have to concur with the people about the jump. Other than that. Really great job in just 2 days! :)

customphase 2014-04-28 09:25

Pretty ok game, didnt take my interest for too long though. And yes, the jumps are way to hard to implement.

madhoe 2014-04-28 09:34

Really well polished game with nice art, but really hate the jumping.

shire 2014-04-28 10:01

cool idea, give a little more wiggle room when jumping please

codehat 2014-04-28 10:21

Uploaded the updated version: Better jumping with slightly lower gravity ;)

shuandang 2014-04-28 10:31

ooh, it is pretty tough, I think im stuck on the 6,7th spike

lonewookie 2014-04-29 00:34

Very challenging. I love the music, and the concept/mechanic is really fun!

tannernetwork 2014-04-29 12:40

It's really hard!

mess110 2014-04-29 13:48

i like it. for some reason it was using a lot of chrome's resources

whitevoidia 2014-04-29 13:49

Pretty difficult! I can't say that I haven't seen this idea before, but I love the way it's executed :D

oal 2014-04-29 13:53

This game is hard, but I think it fits the mood. Kind of dark and scary. The music is simple, but doesn't get annoying even though it loops very often. Good job!

kmakai 2014-04-29 13:53

That one jump is really hard, but I like this a lot! Great music too.

hexagore 2014-04-29 13:54

Enjoyed the music for this, also like the dual character mechanic a lot too. Tricky!!

codehat 2014-04-29 14:00

Maybe I'll make some more levels ;)

renatopp 2014-04-29 14:03

I think the movement could be more polished, but is a good game with a good theme. Would love to play a polished game in this style

blockbot 2014-04-29 14:07

I really wanted to get farther into this game but jumping over some of the obstacles was almost impossible. Really cool art, nice concept, I think this just needs to be tweaked a bit to make it more playable.

xrxr 2014-04-29 14:58

Very challenging! I spent a good 30 minutes on it. Was pretty frustrated at first because the jump doesn't feel quite right, but I pulled through :D Game is well done!

gamepopper 2014-04-29 18:09

Like the challenge of controlling two players at once, although the level design is a bit tight early on. Makes some jumps really difficult.

paperblurt 2014-04-30 06:58

This is best way to use the theme so far.
But harder then f**king Dark Souls.

Nice job!

badgerpriest 2014-04-30 09:29

Cool concept, but man is the difficulty extreme. Maybe the hitboxes on the sprites should be a few pixels smaller.

oatsbarley 2014-04-30 11:03

Smaller hitboxes on hazards and a little more power in the jump would make this a lot less frustrating. Nice idea, though!

teameagle 2014-04-30 17:11

this is pretty hard :D

pancakecity 2014-04-30 17:30

I only was able to get past a few spikes before gettingfrustrated at the low margin of error and quitting. I really want to play further since this looks like an awesome game, can you change the jump's 'hang time' or something?

rnlf 2014-04-30 21:34

I honestly tried to finish it, but it is not hard, it is CRAZY HARD. But what I've seen looks really promising. If just the jumping was a bit easier...

mtrc 2014-05-01 00:59

Really hard to play. I couldn't jump over even the first set of spikes :( Nice work though.

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-05-01 10:32

Great concept but too hard to be really enjoyable. You should make the player jump higher and give him some 3 life points cause permadeath is too frustrating.

saintheiser 2014-05-01 10:50

Ok. I understand. This game not about beneath the surface but about pixel-hunting and precious jumping =)

csanyk 2014-05-06 03:12

Interesting idea, but very difficult. I think the body character at topside blends much too much with the background, making it very difficult to judge when to jump. It's hard enough with the attention split to judge exactly when I can safely jump in both worlds. Making the graphics somewhat larger would help, but you really need to improve contrast between the character and the background.

whalebot 2014-05-07 20:06

Blah blah blah the jumping... ;) Other than that, cool game.

rincewind_cz 2014-05-08 15:48

Movement should be bit faster ;)

namuol 2014-05-11 21:03

Nice atmosphere, concept, and graphics, but I have to agree with the others; the platforming is -painfully- touchy.

If you ever have the time, read through the "Sonic Physics Guide": http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_Physics_Guide

It's a little on the long/detailed side, but it's a great reference whenever you're implementing the jump/run controls of any platformer.

You don't have to copy the same "physics" of the Sonic series, but there's a lot of subtle tricks they use to make the run & jump -feel- a lot more "natural". I've never seen a better write-up on the subject.

Cheers!

jsmars 2014-05-17 17:41

Fun game but really unforgiving! I actually thought we would se more games like this, I had a similar idea from the start too.. you did it really well!

strd6 2014-05-17 19:36

Super challenging platformer.
