I saw this in the blog, but reached it through the rating system. The game did a very good job of creating a constant feeling of danger and I loved the dimension-warping mechanics, but things often felt random - I would get stuck with no time to find a way out.
"Critical Error: Unable to create pixel shader 'effects/mapfx.efx'"
:(
Not rating this game due to it being unplayable for me.
Anyone who's having trouble running this, I'd be interested to know what your Windows version and video hardware are. :)
It was fun, hard, and a bit random. I liked it :)
Nice atmosphere and easy to learn mechanics. Fantastic audio

Interesting take on the theme. Great visual and musical style.
It'd be a bit more accessible if you didn't start at the beginning each time you got destroyed.
This game is really cool looking.
I had a lot of fun with this. It's a simple gameplay mechanic, but well executed. Bonus points for procedural level generation!

Really tense, the plane shifting is hard to pull of correctly but when you pull it right and escape it feels great
Found this because we chose the same name for our games (and the basic mechanic is kinda similar as well :D) Really cool game, I liked the minimalistic graphics and gameplay. Music was also quite nice, however the loop was a bit too harsh. Really nice entry!

I couldn't finish level 3 but I thought this was great. I would stay and play this all night if I wasn't on a rating mission.
I loved the music too.
Cool. I love how smooth it feels!
Very interesting concept and nicely executed. Played the game for a fair bit.
My only criticism is that the level generation felt too arbitrary. I could get a level 2 that I could just walk forward and or I could get one where I'd get blocked by both dimensions in a big area.
Game feels very pleasing! Graphics/colors/music is neat

Interesting concept, but it mainly relies on luck. Sometimes you can clear a round with no problem, but the majority of times have rounds that felt impossible to clear. The dimension changing bit is pretty cool, but there needs to be some way to generate the levels accordingly.
FYI, it's rather unfriendly to have no way to readjust the game's window resolution, especially since it's quite higher than average. Be courteous, even for those from the 90s!
Really awesome idea, I liked it a lot. The shifting mechanic was cool, really well done!

Oh my god, this is so awesome I love the graphics the sounds, the idea, amazing!
Great game. Nice arcade feel. It's very challenging but it keeps you playing. The level layout seemed random and the pace is really fast. The mood makes you feel super stressed. Good job.
