cool concept.

first impression:

i didn't notice the play button, maybe make it jiggle/move or something

i had a hard time in the first section as a totally new player, maybe ease it up a bit for the first 10 seconds so the player can get a feel for the controls.

It gets really hard really fast. A small intro with less spikes would have been great to get used to the controls...

seconddimension 2014-08-26 21:46

Whoa, hardcore! The platform changing was a fun idea, but a little too difficult for me

toubib 2014-08-26 21:48

This game is hard, but nice idea. Couldn't finish the first level xD.

ajopart 2014-08-26 21:53

Raahhh I'm sorry. I tried to put all my ideas in one level but failed to introduce them smoothly... Thanks a lot for those feedback, btw.

sidebinder 2014-08-27 03:09

I'm now dedicated......I am going to finish the first level!!! haha great game :) i'm a little addicted ;)

okeedokeben 2014-08-27 03:39

Super hard, but great concept!

demorro 2014-08-27 03:50

Use a different colour for the second platforms next time. Black was really hard to make out, I didn't see them at all for a long time. Other than that, a solidly implemented platformer. Kudos.

zillix 2014-08-27 05:14

Great idea! The first level is pretty brutally difficult, and the checkpoints were well placed.

zolmeister 2014-08-27 07:56

Man, this game is so hard! Reminds me a bit of super meat boy

pinkninja 2014-08-27 08:36

Really hard, but that is the funny thing :D

jnyknn 2014-08-27 08:38

Gameplay is challenging, which is good thing, but those graphics... if you are ever going to make a post-compo version, improve graphics. Otherwise the game is nice.

tanser 2014-08-27 08:57

Great game :)

ajopart 2014-08-27 10:24

@JNyknn : Yep, you are right. Needs better graphics. And sound too, and levels, items...

@Zolmeister : definitely an inspiration. I' gonna play this game again

@Demorro : sure !

psychomonster 2014-08-27 11:23

Nice concept, really fast and responsive gameplay. The dark platforms are a little bit to dark... but yeah, gameplay is working, fits perfect the theme and has been done in 48h... good job!

pinqu 2014-08-27 11:30

Nice entry. Hard to master, but addictive. Unfortunately I don't have the time to play :(

nonentheless 2014-08-27 13:14

Hell, it's pretty hard from the start.
I like the death effect. And also death counter is a nice addition :) Great job overall.

blan4 2014-08-27 13:25

It's quite hard to see platforms when they are in "other dimension", maybe my screen is the reason. Still pretty hard and enjoyable entry.

munkeebacon 2014-08-27 19:13

Game is interesting, the concept for linking worlds makes sense. It seemed however at time I would try to jump and it wouldn't jump, so the responsiveness isn't quite there. Controls could use a little refining. Other then that, keep on goin!

rehacked 2014-08-28 12:43

good job

wesleyjohnson 2014-08-28 15:01

Cool. Very similar to mine like you said, but also different. I think the concept is good and I liked the execution on it. Checkpoints are a nice touch as well. It does get pretty hard pretty fast as others have said, but I think you're onto something with this.

paperblurt 2014-08-28 18:08

Real eerie design and graphics.
Good work!

raycosantana 2014-08-29 09:09

Ultra hard but I like that, good job! :D

crocantidepollo 2014-08-29 16:34

Nice idea but super hard sometimes.

sunflower 2014-08-30 13:50

Couldn't get past the the white wall at the beginning of the first level; the world switching felt very unresponsive. >.<

banana4life 2014-09-03 10:27

A little bit strange controls for me and i miss music.

ajopart 2014-09-03 10:38

@ Sunflower : Could you please tell me which browser you use ? Thanks

endurion 2014-09-03 10:52

Not too innovative, but almost well done :)

The controls are finicky, and the difficulty is outright brutal. I did make it to the first checkpoint though ;)

cricklewood 2014-09-03 16:45

I was curious to check this because my game also has Lucy in the title. Lol

The game seems similar to Antichromatic. The beginning is frustratingly difficult.

whalebot 2014-09-10 23:28

Once again I am made to regret how poor I am at platformers...

merlijnvh 2014-09-12 20:24

Pretty fun, good job!

mrjohnson22 2014-09-14 04:17

You got some great level design here! Other than that little crush-trap near the middle of the stage (you know which one I'm talking about :P) the navigation challenges had just the right amount of difficulty: not easy by any stretch, but not so hard that they made me want to give up. I also liked how every piece of the stage felt like its own little trial; each part of the stage had a unique challenge to it. There was also a very nice mix of twitch platforming with think-two-steps-ahead puzzles. Controls were fine, graphics did their job (except maybe using a dark background was a bad idea, as I can image the black platforms being hard to see on some screens) (and nice intro screen!), checkpoints were laid out fairly, the game's length was just right...overall, this game is a lot of fun!

androniq 2014-09-15 12:41

Nice idea, but I think it starts off too hard, before you get used to it. Also pressing spacebar doesn't work while you're still holding jump.

nicealexanderas 2014-09-15 13:05

Wow for me the game was very dificult >_<' excelent work! and very nice concept :D

creative630 2014-09-15 15:34

Cool game, very hard! I found a bug that when I hold up and right at the same time space-bar does not register.

creative630 2014-09-15 15:34

Cool game, very hard! I found a bug that when I hold up and left at the same time space-bar does not register.

lkr 2014-09-15 19:43

Fun platformer with nice and responsive controls :)

20 deaths later I couldn't figure out how to pass the crushing platforms right after the second checkpoint though, so I gave up there.

jukimv1986 2014-09-15 21:15

harsh difficulty progression but fun to play. well done!

commodorekid 2014-09-15 23:02

Well, I'm having hard time having an opinion on a game that is quite similar to what I was seeing thousand times. I'm sorry about that but it's true. Character also doesn't face left at all. It is the same thing over and over again, I don't know what to say about it. Graphics are not that fancy, idea is not original.. I'm sorry but I would brainstorm more on the game idea if I were you.
