When I tried to start playing, it changed to fullscreen and then went blank. It looks cool, but I can't rate it cause I can't run it. Hopefully nobody else gets this issue!

That was pretty fun!
I liked the difficulty and platforming but the controls were quite awkward and some of the enemies were really hard to see.
Great Entry!

Couldn't figure out how to get the jetpack. :( Is it because my keyboard doesn't have a right control? (OSX)

Interesting gravity effect.

Nice consistent graphic style, loved it! Good amount of content too.

A bit slow movement relative to the enemies, the momentum was interesting but took away from the gameplay imo.

p.s. it was left control instead of right control for me =)

Fun and quite challenging. What did you use to make this game?

Fun arena arcade type game with a story. The enemy spawning and behavior in general were annoying to deal with (when I died it felt like I was unlucky rather than felling as if I did something wrong).

Fun and well designed. However, the controls were not as responsive as I would have liked them to be. I also feel it would be better for players to have an option to choose whether they want to play in fullscreen.

Nice work but game is forcing full screen?? Not good.
This is retro squared. Atari 2600 :) but fun. Maybe speed up the controls. Game is too hard for me. Great details and fun graphics.

I think the enemies need to be toned down a bit but I like not starting with any of your items and having to struggle a bit. I had to plug in an eternal keyboard to my laptop to play though. Maybe use z or x instead of Right Control?

Yeah! I got the level 2!. I like the jet pack!

Awesome and consistent graphics, as well as fitting sound effects. I also like the mood/setting quite a bit.

It feels a bit like any other platformer/shooter.
Perhaps it's intentional but the controls felt really sluggish and unresponsive, which, in my opinion, made the game less fun to play.

Small bug: the highscore keeps adding up after you died.

The graphics needs a bit more polishing, but it's fun to play small game.

I can proudly say I've finished the first level, but due to the game's unfair difficulty I'm afraid I couldn't get past the second.

Hi all! Thank you for your kind comments. The game was created using Unity, Photoshop, Pyxel Edit, SFX.

I will improve player responsivnes. It is based on physics, so there is acceleration, drag etc. But definitely, it can be improved.

I will also change the fire button. I didn't know that OSX doesn't have CTRL:)

I am used to play in fullscreen on the desktop, but I will turn it off and let player to decide.

Considering making several difficulty levels:)

Nice game. Quite hard as it took me quite a while to get past level 1. It did miss music in the game

mactinite 2014-08-26 16:12

Cool game, the floaty-ness of the player reminded me of Joust. Really fun. :)

igoramendola 2014-08-26 19:24

I reached level 3, then the level was turned upside down and the character started to move frantically hahaha and I died right away. My best is 7500 so far.
I liked the idea of picking up parts to assemble the portal. It's kind of hard, but after playing a few times, I get used to the controls. Cool game, also nice art ;)

paperboxstudios 2014-08-27 14:14

I feel like the theme of connected worlds could have been used better it just seems like more about the level progression than actually being built into the design of the game itself. Nevertheless it was a fun game to play.

geekygenius 2014-09-01 21:07

It's cool to see a platformer, there doesn't seem to be many of them this time. I wasn't able to get to the second world though, I got one of the portal shards, then I couldn't find any others.

nooner-bear 2014-09-02 18:26

Challenging but pretty fun! The controls feel odd at times, as if I'm sliding around too much, but it wasn't too much of a detriment. I liked that I had to piece together my jetpack.

hotboxgames 2014-09-02 18:32

Nice little game - unfortunately jetpack bugged out for me and wouldn't work but still fun to play!

tiff 2014-09-06 00:23

That was fun, I really enjoyed it. Thanks!

honcho 2014-09-08 20:26

Very challenging game.

tobiasw 2014-09-15 18:31

Yours is a nice idea too! Pretty hard though.
