can you make a linux build, please?

Beautiful visuals and fun music!

I really enjoyed this, It's a cool concept! I didn't actually ever manage to get to the end because I'm just awful; the jumping feels sluggish to me. I really like the inverted limbo-esque art style.

We just uploaded a Linux Version. It should be ready in a moment. We had no time to test it on Linux so your feedback is very appreciated.

Oh man - I really wanted to see the end of this game, but it was just too difficult. And not in a rewarding, "I finally did it!" kind of way, but more of a "o.m.g., it won't do what I want it to do" way. I think it's a beautiful game, but I really want more responsive controls.

Also, I thought the sound was at odds with the graphics. The graphics are beautiful and moody and the sound is just a completely different style.

I hope my critiques are not too direct - it's only because this game inspired me greatly with its potential! Thank you for sharing, I really did enjoy what I saw.

Really beautiful game and fun/hard concept

r0x0r 2014-08-26 02:05

Hey, in the linux version, somehow you uploaded directories with different case, "invertigo_linux_1.0alpha_data" and "Invertigo_Linux_1.0alpha_Data", for example, and are considered to different directories on linux filesystem, moving their content to the main one made the game work

lakael 2014-08-26 02:46

The jumping was difficult but the concept is really awesome!

nerd-burglars 2014-08-26 02:47

This has been one of my favorites so far. It was fun and challenging!

sarahfrisk 2014-08-26 02:47

Love the art! The game is fun too, I just wish I wasn't so bad at jumping :-/

stepwise 2014-08-26 02:51

Great graphics and look! I hacked at it a couple of times but dying was just so demoralizing. :( Would have been nice to get more wiggle room for the jumps! Couldn't finish though I wanted to see what was at the end pretty bad...

The visuals remind me very much of limbo. The music is good.

hogtrick 2014-08-26 08:09

Very nice looking game

incredible-ape 2014-08-26 17:53

Reminded me of Bit Trip Runner meets Limbo, but I think the music and visuals were too disparate and didn't complement each other very well.

zillix 2014-08-27 06:56

fantastic work! loved the visual effect of the inverted color schemes, and the characters running toward each other. the background effect details were a great touch. I just wish that there were checkpoints!

leafarz 2014-08-27 15:24

great music. and also liking the visuals!
although the game should be simple, it's quite hard especially when you are playing 2!
good job! beautiful game btw. :D

munkeebacon 2014-08-27 19:44

It's a decent game, I enjoyed playing it, some of those jumps are actually pretty tough!

h1s2 2014-08-28 21:07

Cheers guys! We really appreciate your feedback and are already working on a new version that we will publish with more (and easier) levels and improved jumping after the voting is over!

everystone 2014-08-29 09:04

Great! nice art, cool gameplay, really hard! sadly I didn't have patience to make it to the end

atta 2014-08-29 12:28

Pretty hard. Great entry.

geeitsomelaldy 2014-08-29 19:12

The graphics were great, but rather at odds with the audio. Difficulty was probably a bit too high with the rather unforgiving collision boxes and the random frame-rate tanking.

fcpfoof 2014-08-29 23:58

Had hard time renaming folders due to Linux case-sensitivity ;p. I always wanted to make similar game ;D (like two characters controlled at once on 2 different maps). I also loved the Limbo feeling!

fil00dl 2014-08-30 12:59

nice graphics and very challenging

simouth 2014-08-30 15:02

It's great, but we need checkpoints. Music loop is a bit too annoying if we want to have a long run.
But you mastered the Limbo-inspired graphics !

thedashdude 2014-08-30 15:08

Fun, short jump, I would have preferred it longer, but still good.

igoramendola 2014-08-30 16:44

Ohhh... it's similar to mine, but yours is more complex. In addition, it's harder hehehe. Actually, it was hard to finish, but thanks to the tree I could finish each one separately :P
Cool game and it has nice graphics/animations. I liked ;)

manou 2014-09-01 11:28

Lovely gfx.

jukimv1986 2014-09-01 15:59

Great use of white and black, the guy reminded me of Limbo. It would be even better with more forgiving jump controls. Neat graphics and catchy tune. Great job!

aglavra 2014-09-01 19:37

I really liked the design of the game, how backgrounds and all detaild were drawn, but the controls was a bit unresponsive, and this made the game too difficult.

ramiel 2014-09-01 20:21

Very stylish game. I really like the use of contrast.
The music was good but in my opinion didn't fit with the graphics.
And the game is really hard if you don't use the tree trick. But that's not a bad thing. ;)

elefantopia 2014-09-01 23:21

Interesting game. I liked the graphics. It's a bit difficult (for me at least) to watch and control both sides.

rehacked 2014-09-02 07:04

Good game but very hard cuz of collision checking and dying so many times.

lvyn 2014-09-03 19:21

Great entry but hard, I guess my eyes aren't wide enough :D

eatsleepindie 2014-09-06 07:20

I had a freakin blast playing this game! Bookmarked to keep coming back for more. Great graphics, catchy music, and that mechanic was easy to pick up but got challenging quick. Awesome work.

franklins-ghost 2014-09-06 10:26

Great art and fun entry, although really difficult. Music worked well and I liked the way as you played on you learnt what was coming and slowly made it forward further.

local-minimum 2014-09-06 15:48

I love the graphics, and the controls we easy enough. It was hard though. Hard enough only jumping correct when one side needed jumping and impossible for me when both needed attention. But I enjoyed it as far as I got. I would consider giving them a little larger jump-margin to make it easer for the player or have very clear jump queues in the music for each side.

bluesky 2014-09-07 16:36

I'm very impressed with the gameplay, well done.

h1s2 2014-09-08 18:58

thanks for the great helpful feedback. we try to implement all usefull suggestions into our upcoming version for multiple devices! stay tuned: http://gamejolt.com/games/other/invertigo/33216/

klianc09 2014-09-09 19:15

I like the music, I just wish I could hear more from it than the beginning, which brings me to my next point. This game desperately needs checkpoints, it's too hard. I was not able to bring up the ambition to complete it.

lokarunith 2014-09-11 17:43

I think the music dosn't mach so well with the graphics, which try too much to mimick Limbo, Gameplay is solid, nice entry

ragepaint 2014-09-13 20:48

Nice visuals. I did pretty well till I had to look back and forth <_<
