It plays fantastic! I love this, I'm bookmarking it.

namrog84 2014-08-26 01:07

Great! Love it!

tannernetwork 2014-08-26 11:37

Beautiful graphics, awesome mechanics!

colludium 2014-08-26 16:18

Nothing short of outstanding. A very polished game with excellent mechanics!! Inspirational...

jayemjee 2014-08-26 19:00

I second firstbass' statement.

0x0961h 2014-08-26 19:23

I like graphics and "juiceness" of this one. Good job. :)

daanvanyperen 2014-08-26 21:55

Very responsive controls, wonder why this hasn't gotten more reviews yet! Go rate some games!

darkcart 2014-08-26 22:01

Sort of reminds me of Castlevania, with the whole "castle" concept.

spang 2014-08-26 22:05

The Gameplay is Amazing, i loved the way the world changes and makes you think. xD Great Job

sekaru 2014-08-26 22:05

Really good game. Enjoyed the fast paced action!

joshua_burr 2014-08-26 22:06

Really enjoyed this. Didn't work in Safari but switched to Chrome and it worked fine.

hoyt-hoy 2014-08-26 22:11

Simples game!
Little difficult but possible.
I liked the effects of screamshake and strong power!

ofursnati 2014-08-26 22:12

This will be bookmarked, nice game, love the controls. GJ.

nerd-burglars 2014-08-26 22:14

For pretty much a one man job, this game is very impressive. Kudos to you for following through after the rest of your team bailed. Also I'm a gamer, not a reader so I appreciated that you incorporated a lot of humor into the directions. It made that part much more bearable. Good work :)

honcho 2014-08-27 06:58

Overall Fantastic! Character feels great to maneuver around the stage. Combat is solid and slick. Puzzle aspect is clever, had to stop and think about which path I wanted to take. Bookmarked!

seconddimension 2014-08-27 07:43

Thanks for the nice comments everyone, I really appreciate it!
I was a bit worried nobody would play it as it doesn't look great in screenshots, it needs a video or something. I might try and do that when I get back from holiday next week, as well as rating a load of other games.

colapsydo 2014-08-27 15:21

Great action in that game.
I don't know if it's because I was playing with the game controller but controls were really enjoyable.
As for Castle Uno, I like the diversity of the enemies. Especially one of them which reminds me of the monster minds.

zatyka 2014-08-28 00:37

That was great fun. Playing on an XBox controller was awesome.

You did a lot of things right. Movement felt great. Triple jumps, and slashing gave you lots of great movement options. Slashing makes the player feel mighty. Graphics were a nice, I especially like how unique enemies were.

One issue I had was that enemies seemed to get really bunched up at times, and I'd end up having to try and slash though like 10-15 of them at once, wasting 2-3 lives.

Great stuff. One of the best LD30 games I've played.

dickpoelen 2014-08-28 10:18

Wow! To movement is sooooo good!

seriouslycrunchy 2014-08-29 14:35

Top notch. The gameplay just flows, I felt the theme was a little loose as changing world didn't have much effect but it fits and changing it might have broken the great flow the game has. Excellent.

yodamaster 2014-08-29 14:41

Very nice game, finally a really playable and fun game!

kidando 2014-08-29 20:26

The music is awesome. The gameplay is awesome. I had so much fun. Clinging to walls was also awesome... because I'm into that sorta thing :). great job

ragepaint 2014-08-29 23:10

I liked how epic the character moves around, but it was sometimes hard to control.

markusfisch 2014-08-30 17:45

Very fast paced, funny game! That knight knows how to move! Well done!

mrexcessive 2014-08-31 19:49

Hi there. I'm bad at platformers, but this is awesome to watch. Fantastic animations and movement, attacks and jumps, wall climbing. You did a great! job!

pjimmy 2014-08-31 22:00

impressive, great concept, smooth controls, visually soothing, great sound, very nice

kingbolonzo 2014-09-01 21:15

Awesome man my favorite so far its a little glitchy its prob my shitty internet do u have an exe? also ill send you a link to your video then. GAME FREAKING RULES THOUGH

seconddimension 2014-09-01 21:57

@KingBolonzo - thanks a lot, glad you like it! I can do an .exe and upload it tomorrow night, probably a good idea to have one available anyway

kingbolonzo 2014-09-01 22:04

yeah dude too gitchy with my recording software if you get an exe i can make a vid 4 u

kyatric 2014-09-02 02:05

Controlling this character is pretty cool/badass.
The gamepad appears to be mapped differently in FF than in Chrome it seems (might be worth a report on Scirra's forums).

The animations/controls are cool, the music/sfx pretty sweet.
I enjoyed the "ninja-sque" moves/feel of the character.

It could make a nice action game, removing the rift/two worlds part that I did not enjoyed that much. It's OK for the theme of the jam, but to me the fun really sits in the movements possibilities/feel, not the "two world switching mechanic".
Jumps and dashes are really good and worth pursuing further.

Overall nicely polished.
Congratulations on making a nice game like that during the jam.

seconddimension 2014-09-03 19:28

Thanks again everyone, I have added an .exe version too

pierrec 2014-09-05 09:24

That's a darn good platformer!

erkberg 2014-09-05 23:47

That is one great game. I love the fast-pacedness, it just plays very fluently. Also, the graphics and audio are very good. Overall: Awesome!

chuigum 2014-09-06 04:30

Love the graphics and music is awesome! Sometimes found myself going through walls with the attacks though. My laptop isn't amazing so that's probably why it was running a little slow.I kind of used the going through walls to my advantage ;) Overall awesome job!

pixelmonkey 2014-09-06 06:15

The player's moves felt very versatile and powerful, so it was a lot of fun to play around with different ways of fighting enemies, and I liked the open-ended levels! Really nice game overall.

diningphilosopher 2014-09-06 17:40

Very nice game!

teameagle 2014-09-06 17:52

pretty cool game! :)

fazz 2014-09-06 18:02

One of the most fun I've played.

william_edwards 2014-09-06 19:45

Absolutely brilliant game!

Really really fun, really really Commander Keen somehow.

I must be singularly hopeless, but the easy respawn kept me persevering.

The mechanics were really really good, and well implemented. Triple jump, wall clinging, rapid attack etc... fantastic!

Even graphics were clean, the animation especially jumping beautifully simple somehow, and audio were acceptable.

Have all my stars!

saintheiser 2014-09-07 02:36

Not bad. Very addictive game... But tooo monotone =(

metalchouchen 2014-09-07 10:59

Awesome ! I really like the mechanics and the nervous control of the character! Congrats!

thecolorhacker 2014-09-07 14:24

This is one of the most fun to play entries I've played so far, if not the most. Character movements are great, and parallel worlds feel completely connected. I couldn't stop until I saved the day. Hurrah!

sbarrio 2014-09-07 14:48

Great and tight controls. It just feels right to smash through things. I specially enjoyed the wall jumping, feels just like Ninja Gaiden.

Superb job! :)

snooze82 2014-09-07 16:11

I love it :)

luxperpetua 2014-09-10 21:59

Wow, nice. I have really fun while playing.

porglezomp 2014-09-10 22:26

I really enjoyed moving around and breaking things, and the portals looked really good, but the levels felt pretty repetitive and it felt like some really cool things could have been done with the alternate world, but it seemed like it ended up more like a gimmick with not that many changes.

skiddings 2014-09-10 22:59

You can pretty much fly around the level forever, but I kinda like that!
Great work!

hyouko 2014-09-11 00:36

Darned good fun - played through to the end. Keep working on this! Add a time attack mode or scoring mechanism and it'll be even better.

depp 2014-09-11 02:15

It's a lot of fun! I appreciate the variety in the enemy types, and it's nice how generous the game is with checkpointing. That said, with the high speed of the main character relative to its size, I found it a bit difficult to reliably engage in combat. Also, a few of the sound effects were a bit louder than the other ones. Nice game!

snoringfrog 2014-09-11 03:34

Sometimes movement was a little buggy and I would pass through solid barriers, but otherwise it was a really fun game to play. If the movement had been more reliable, it would have been awesome to zip through everything really quickly, because the game felt like it was built perfectly for that.

tommislav 2014-09-11 07:57

The graphics are a bit simple (makes if feel retro... in a good way), but the mechanics and controls are excellent! You managed to mix fast paced 2d-action with interesting gameplay in a very good way. Awesome work!

brookman 2014-09-11 11:08

wow, i love it! this game is really awesome.

posva 2014-09-11 11:27

Feels good to play this! I think you should have made the player slide when sticking into walls because the gameplay is very dynamic but you just stop when sticking into walls and I felt weird about that

eemmbbeerr 2014-09-11 13:47

Great game, controls are a bit hard, but you can also cheat by teleporting through walls. (I cheated a lot) I really liked the music too.

mildmojo 2014-09-11 19:16

Really nicely done. Great flow. Triple jump, sticky walls, and crazy flying horizontal attacks feel incredible.

klianc09 2014-09-11 20:06

Really great game. It's a lot of fun to just slash through the worlds. Though dashing wasn't always reliable, would have liked to float in the air for a short duration after dashing, to chain the dashes easier.
Also axes for 360 controller where 90 degrees off... don't ask me why...

dunin 2014-09-11 20:55

Like this nervous game. A little confuse and need polish (hitbox: I cling to the walls all the time...) but so fun!

seconddimension 2014-09-11 22:06

Thanks everyone, glad your enjoying it. I am a bit concerned about all these movement glitches though, I didn't experience any of those bugs you guys mentioned at all! I wonder if it's down to browsers, or PC specs etc? I need to do some more testing I guess

seconddimension 2014-09-11 22:10

Oh no, I put "your" instead of "you're"! Everyone should give me 1 star in grammar.

tigro 2014-09-12 18:34

Oh my, the attacking is so satisfying on this one :D

spacedoubt 2014-09-13 05:17

Sooo good. Probably my favourite out of the 100+ I've played!

egor-idiot 2014-09-15 11:57

Hoho, nice action! It feels like oldschool game N. But with weapon %)

georgebroussard 2014-09-15 23:28

So yeah. This is awesome :) Great music and some of the best platforming feel/controls I ran across this Ludum Dare. It's amazingly fun to run around the map and attack things. Well done. I would seriously consider working on this some more.
