Is this game 64bit? 32bit WinXp cannot run it, 64bit Win8 can.

I'm fairly sure it SHOULD be 32 bit, though I don't have a 32 bit computer lying around here to test it... I'll add a 64 bit requirement to warn people for now and I'll see if I can create a 32 bit version tomorrow.

Wow, the style here is fantastic! I LOVE how the two layers look over each other.

I like it, nice concept, but it does chuck you in to it abit to fast. Once I knew the controllers I did enjoy it.

Pretty, stylish, fast-moving. I could see this being a lot of fun with some sound effects and goals. Great work!

Nicely done so far! just make sure to add sound later! We really like the aesthetics!

This was a very cool design. Kudos for making this game both beautiful and challenging!

The idea is interesting and it looks really original, but as a game it desperately needs more polish and balancing.

Nice feeling and visuals in there, but a bit overwhelming at first !

Works perfectly under Win7 64bits. (keyboard Qwerty)
Like the graphics style, but yes this game is not finished.
Anyway , it could be a good game.

Not working for me, just get a "game.exe stopped working" error.. Win 7 64 bit :(

I have Windows 7 64-bit, and it seems to be working.

The graphical effects on the level are really cool and the mechanic of switching between the red space and blue space goes very well with the theme. It was also very fun!

There were a few issues that should be considered in a future version though. First off, the moment the game begins, you are instantly barraged by enemies. Makes the game really difficult from the start.

Also, when you want to switch worlds, sometimes it doesn't happen. I examined this further and realized it was because I was overlapped with a block in the opposite world, preventing the world transition. I totally understand this now, but there needs to be some kind of cue indicating that I cannot switch into the other world on a block overlap. Maybe a sound effect could make a good cue for that.

Overall, awesome game, even if it's unfinished. Making this game further would make it even more awesome.

I love the graphics, I miss only some music. Good job, the controls are incredible. :)

Loved the graphics and the screen tilt. Controls felt very natural. You should develop this post-comp!

Ah, you are the one getting distracted by particle effects. In fact they are so overdone, I could barely see the actual fireball. Nice rendering engine and smooth controls, but lacking gameplay.

Looked absolutely gorgeous!

For your information: this game does *not* run under wine on Ubuntu. Too bad, it seems like it could be easily compiled for linux too.
