Cool concept, nice graphics, bit buggy. Enemies stacking on top of each other etc.

Very nice.

The enemy stacking issue is due to a little problem with triggers that I only realized I forgot to turn on after submissions were over. I swear they aren't as stupid in the dev version :P

Cute little graphics / animations

Very cute little character sprites :) This is an interesting mechanic to explore, although I found switching my gaze constantly between two panels a little distracting. One alternative would be to overlay the left and right panels (with the underworld one being more transparent) .. maybe with the spirit-you slightly trailing the position of the real-you. It may become too cluttered to look at like this, but tweaked right it could turn out feeling more natural.

Love the graphics and idea, also a little buggy but other than that enjoyable to play.

Might have been better with some sound. Cool idea, but it needs better implementation.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

Regarding sound, I won't lie, neither of us are very experienced, so we thought it was more important to get at least the core concept on a playable (albeit buggy) state before worrying about "refinements". That said, I do realize sound could go a long way with cues that can guide the experience better (say, traps warning before they trigger)

Very nice graphics, game view size was too small to see anything, I had to zoom it up. Other than that it was cool.

It does feel incomplete, and it is difficult to play, but at the same time it is a very nice result for being your first game jam. Good effort!

Yeah, nice idea. Debug please, then add sounds and meaning and levels.

Cool entry. Graphics are nice. I also really like the gameplay idea which is very interesting. As you says it a bit incomplete, it might be great with more polish and sounds/music.
