Nice job! The only thing that bothered me is how low you get out of the other dimensions and thus how easily ghosts kill you. Level generation rocks ;)

Nice graphics!

nicely done :) liked it

It was a little difficult to manage shifting dimensions
because of how long the transition back was, and I sometimes
found myself hopelessly trapped. Other than that very
interesting design and I did enjoy the visuals and sound,
so good work! Level generation is a great feature

Greate game! I can't stop :) And I like your idea about two world.

paperboxstudios 2014-08-27 13:28

Thanks for all the great comments guys! We understand that some people have commented on the fact that transitioning back from the other dimension takes a while but this was an intentional design decision which we had made as we did want our game to pose a challenge to our players.

Fantastic entry. Loved the idea, the mechanics balance each other nicely, even level generation. Super stuff!

very interesting design and nicely done graphics :) I found the game quite hard though since the level is randomly generated and sometimes when I tried to peek into the other dimension the monster was just next to me and I got killed instantly, feel kind of unfair. I guess the mechanics need to get tuned a bit so that the player is more informed or have more control over the changing dimension.

Really, Really hard. however the game looks really good and plays really well.

@jackyjjc
Thanks for the feedback! If you have your sound on, you will notice that you can hear the ghosts when they are right above you ;)

Excellent game! Agree that world transition is far too punishing, but a fantastic concept and loads of potential!

Amazing. The presentation is excellent. Music and gameplay fit nicely to create a great atmosphere. The ghosts did scare me a little. I thought back to when I was kid playing Sonic 3.

Great game, wonderful entry!

I liked the art and overall feel of the game. Great concept!

atomicvikings 2014-08-28 18:03

Awesome experience, great aesthetics. great sound. great game!
Tutorial is really helpful and the gameplay is simple, challenging and addictive at the same time. nicely done! :)

Hi there. Interesting modern HACK game. Not sure why you wouldn't just have the 'second sight' on all the time - perhaps it drains some resource at higher levels ? Like the haunting sounds as well as the visuals. Nicely hidden traps. Good job!

crefossus 2014-08-29 07:34

There is already the sound fx for the ghost in the normal world while they are near you so there might as well be some visual cue to warn you not to switch as well. That's one of the most frustrating parts at first until you learn to listen.

The art is super polished.

The level design or what you're actually doing needs some work to be more fun.

tommyboys0107 2014-08-29 14:35

Like the concept!
But ghost is a little tricky.

ragepaint 2014-08-29 17:19

Cute concept, really liked the sound of the ghosts. I didn't like teleporting onto spikes. I think that was because the levels were randomly generated? Or maybe it was intentional. Great game overall

paperboxstudios 2014-08-30 04:25

Thanks to everyone who played and left feedback!

@mrexcessive
You will not be able to escape the ghosts unless you stop using the second sight to run past, unless you can outrun them of course :)

@Rage Paint
The teleport "traps" were intentionally designed to have a risk with use. They can potentially save you when you are cornered, but are not a guarantee.

Good game

traumendes_madchen 2014-09-12 13:50

Very atmospheric, I liked the mood and the idea was pretty cool too.

sephyka 2014-09-14 19:07

Very very nice graphics and mood. I'm in love with it.
At the first time, I died all the time because of the traps I didn't see on the ground. :p
