Friggin awesome. Very polished, great fun!

gardenhead 2014-08-25 10:53

This is just amazing! Definitely my favourite so far!

alexghost 2014-08-25 10:54

Really impressive ! Good work ! Will download the Source to learn more about Unity. :)

eastes 2014-08-25 10:58

Wow. Such a unique idea. Very polished for 4b hours! Nice tutorial at the start. Lots of 5's from me.

ysty 2014-08-25 12:43

Wow, incredible execution. Fantastic game.

jawm 2014-08-25 15:19

great game. played the whole thing. Great use of the theme!

jnyknn 2014-08-25 15:36

Simply amazing! Graphics and audio, I loved them both! The gameplay was personal, which is always a good thing!

kamikaziuk 2014-08-25 15:38

Fantastic game!. Amazing in 3 days.

arowx 2014-08-25 15:41

Wow 48 hours to make this just amazing work. I want to see the code for this!

kapasrobert 2014-08-25 15:42

O M G! Best game I played so far, this is incredible O_O 5 stars everywhere!!

cptnwaffles 2014-08-25 15:46

Fantastic mechanics! I love how polished the game looks and how connected to the theme it is as well.

graebor 2014-08-25 15:51

Oh man, this is cool. Fav entry so far :)

sapermysz 2014-08-25 18:07

Very Good Game

mcfood 2014-08-25 20:23

Wow. That was spectacular. Great concept, well executed. The most polished game I've played yet.

stuffie 2014-08-25 20:54

Concept was great, very polished and purty. I had a bit of a hard time with the mouse, seemed to be fighting with it. Epic entry though gj.

handkor 2014-08-25 21:41

Very nice concept. I really liked this.

doubstract 2014-08-25 21:42

WOW!!!! This is sooooo awesome! Best game ever.

veli 2014-08-25 21:44

This was super! Brilliant mood and hook!

pixelmind 2014-08-25 21:44

Thanks for comments! :)

Yeah I agree with you Stuffie.
I noticed via playtesting today that many testers tried to keep the mouse on top of those teleports which I didn't anticipate. It makes the game much more difficult to play.

I should have made an effort to teach players to use the portals more like tight light beams. That way you can see the world outside and you don't have to make effort to keep mouse on top of each portal.

Live and learn I guess :)
I may make a more fleshed out post LD version later and try to fix that. Many ideas didn't make it to the final version.

mrbungle 2014-08-25 21:45

What a spectacular game! Such a great mechanic and awesome graphics to boot. Spot on!

vururia 2014-08-25 21:45

HOW IN THE SEVEN WORLDS. 2 DAYS!? You're on a whole new level dude! 5/5 would buy.

lkr 2014-08-25 21:54

That was awesome. Loved the concept and the rich atmosphere.

Had some trouble positioning the mouse to project the correct world at times, but that was part of the fresh experience :)

Would love to see more of this game.

pixelmind 2014-08-25 22:01

@AlexGhost and @Arowx,
The code is a mess. You've been warned! :)

But if really want to take a look at the source then I'd imagine you'd probably be mostly interested in Lightmesh.cs, World.cs, Target.cs and Light.shader files.
Those are responsible of the world rendering and physics handling. The Unity scene's camera setup is also important.

That shader is slightly edited from Unity public wiki over here: http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/DepthMask

pixelmind 2014-08-25 22:02

Cheers guys! :)

trickfishpie 2014-08-25 22:08

Wonderful. Probably my favourite game so far. Pretty, Polished and an idea I haven't seen before.

donar 2014-08-25 22:09

This one is pretty awesome. Pretty impressive piece of eye candy for 48 hours development.

2014-08-26 02:46

Definitely my favorite game from this LD so far! Very original and I've already recommended it to a few people. I'd love to see a longer fully fleshed game from it :) Congratulations!

camilleh 2014-08-26 05:04

Just brilliant, amazing job!!!

dydx 2014-08-26 05:36

I loved it, amazing work

jmjd 2014-08-26 08:30

Wow! How did you get so much done! You're a gamedev rock star!

nikki93 2014-08-26 21:57

Really, really good game. I loved it. I like how the world-transition stuff is like light beams.

iamspencer 2014-08-27 06:17

That was amazing. Never have I ever had so much fun with so little 'interaction', really well done. Also nicely done on preventing 'stuck' situations (for instance near the end, I thought I had gotten stuck where it says '30' but then I saw I could swim and free myself which was nice) that's some good level design, excellent job, hope to see a full game out of this! :)

dustyroom 2014-08-27 09:36

Very atmospheric! Probably a bit too slow movement. Maybe add little more acceleration.

thomassand 2014-08-27 17:50

I have no words to describe this project, its insane and probably one of the best games i've played during this ludum at the moment, the way you switch between dimensions, the level design, the atmosphere. Everything's perfect, don't give up and keep working on it !

aaants 2014-08-27 19:24

I can't click enough 5s, that was awesome!

You, sir, should win.

r0x0r 2014-08-27 20:28

awesome! FYI, the linux build works perfect =)

goosetickler 2014-08-27 20:46

Awesome game, enjoyed everything about it!! Good job!

lokiman 2014-08-27 22:51

At first I thought this is Jam entry but no... man, this is incredible! Good job.

I wonder how did you managed to get all done in 48hrs... I think it must all be skill, preparation, planning and time management :D

atomicvikings 2014-08-27 22:51

no words.... perfection has been reached!

cryovat 2014-08-27 22:52

The atmosphere in this game is amazing and it has a really creepy otherworld feel to it. Loved it. :)

rojo 2014-08-28 00:06

Really great use of the theme! Graphics and audio were solid as well. I think the controls were a little touchy and could use some smoothing out, though.

primaerfunktion 2014-08-28 06:29

That's a creally cool concept and the game seems really polished.

simplesmiler 2014-08-28 12:14

Wow, you did a very good job! It's very interesting!

extrelime 2014-08-28 16:16

Whoa, that was very surpising! Very particular concept, you know. Colours are adorable and the mood is really strong. Great!

lakael 2014-08-28 17:36

Holy cow that was amazing. The reverse controls was confusing at first, but then you start to get the hang of it. Really great work!

nuclearnapalm 2014-08-28 18:05

This... is... awesome...

moosefly 2014-08-28 18:30

It was interesting, but also horribly confusing at times (especially the first part with the squishing machines was really hard for me). Neat game though, good job!

artamus 2014-08-28 19:46

Amazing.

xaychru04 2014-08-28 21:06

Awesome idea, I love the mood of the game!

dragonxvi 2014-08-28 22:32

Excellent. Fantastic use of colour, highly unique mechanic, simple input very well executed and an fair difficulty curve. Easily a 5/5! :D

grooveman 2014-08-28 22:50

The idea is absolutely incredible, if at times a touch fiddly in execution. The subtle changes in background hum with the different realities was particularly nice.

otrorainteractivo 2014-08-29 05:36

It can get pretty hard after the tutorial part and with no much to do apart from changing the view can get a little slow too. But it's a great idea and very polished entry. With some adjustments at the controls you'll have a very nice and innovative game at your hands.

pythong 2014-08-29 10:43

very nice entry. this was fun

dabuuker 2014-08-29 13:54

Everyone's pretty much said it, this is awesome.

mrexcessive 2014-08-29 17:03

Hi there. Your game is amazing... top scores everywhere pretty much... Stunningly good job!

steve 2014-08-30 20:18

Brilliant idea and execution.

alvivar 2014-08-31 07:37

amazing!

lars-faust 2014-08-31 22:34

You really got hit by a blast of creativity there.
Absolutely outstanding entry.

commodorekid 2014-09-02 23:31

Fantastic entry!

stevesalmond 2014-09-03 09:54

Yeah, I don't have much to add that hasn't already been said :D Super cool..

liquidminduk 2014-09-03 12:55

One of the best entries by far, really unique gameplay and stunning visuals.
However I got stuck under a ledge in both worlds!
Restart!

Loved it though, really inspirational work

liquidminduk 2014-09-03 13:06

Loved it though, really inspirational work, got to the end!

havana24 2014-09-03 14:02

Just amazing.

nicepenguins 2014-09-03 15:07

Very cool game who fit with the theme ! I love the fact that the switching between worlds wasn't a one button switching. You had to be precise even if it's a little bit frustrating.

traumendes_madchen 2014-09-03 15:19

Great atmosphere ! The controls were a bit tedious but the game really looks polished. I love the way the text is shown.

pinkmonkeyhead 2014-09-03 15:32

OMG amazing work

andrewkennedy 2014-09-04 00:53

I couldn't quite make it all the way to the end, I wasn't super good at figuring out where to move the mouse.

One of the best theme-based games that I've played so far!

malf 2014-09-04 08:22

Great idea , and very polished game. I find the control too unpredictable , but with a bit of work this could be a very very fun game :D

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-09-04 09:25

Super polished, nice idea and great (technical) execution.
Mouse controls were a bit frustrating though but still a very pleasant experience. Great work!

skiddings 2014-09-05 15:40

Wow that's such a cool concept!

vividhelix 2014-09-07 04:45

Wow, just wow. Clever, innovative and very well executed. The only entry where I'm 5 stars all around. Hats off to you! As I was playing it I was wondering in the back of my mind how many people were in this jam team - the fact that it's a compo entry makes this even more amazing!

snoother 2014-09-07 12:22

Very innovative gameplay mechanic, tying wonderfully in with the theme. And really nice graphic and audio, setting an ethereal mood.

lokarunith 2014-09-07 16:55

Amazing, amazing aesthetics! It reminded me a bit of Limbo. The mechanics are greatas well and I also liked the sound which helps setting the mood. Overall a fantastic entry!

jetl33t 2014-09-07 20:55

this is just brilliant!

klianc09 2014-09-07 21:49

Ok, this is simply amazing. Great mood, fantastic asthetics, fresh and fluid gameplay. One of the coolest entries I've played so far.

joshua_burr 2014-09-07 22:11

Very nice

jackdegree 2014-09-08 08:33

Genius

miotatsu 2014-09-12 17:28

Beautiful entry, well done!

tbamberg 2014-09-12 22:00

Best multi-dimension game of the compo!

mechabit 2014-09-12 22:51

amazing game, I'd be surprised if this didn't end up top of the charts. mouse control was a bit fiddly. I imagine it would work better with a joypad. you would probably sell a lot on console

ceriseghost 2014-09-13 01:15

This game was amazing! Well done!!

apiotrw 2014-09-13 16:19

Really awesome entry

lukezaz 2014-09-13 20:02

Great game. Loved every moment of it.

maniulo 2014-09-15 18:41

Probably the best game in the compo. Just awesome.

leafthief 2014-09-15 19:58

Well polished, great puzzle design. Really liked it a lot!

tomvert 2014-09-15 20:08

Amazing, how do you even design your levels ?? must be hard. Great job !

sputnik 2014-09-15 20:18

Absolutely awesome. Agree with Stuffie for the mouse control. But very impressive 48h project!

pixelmind 2014-09-15 23:32

Thanks everyone! You guys are awesome! :)
It's been really great to have this many commenters. Got some great feedback too which is even more awesome!

@AlexandreSzybiak: You're right! They were quite a pain to design. It did help a little that I laid the "worlds" on top of each other in Unity. It was quite a nightmare at times to work with though. Far from ideal for any larger project :)

2014-09-16 06:00

Mind blown... This is the kind of stuff that i knew i have been missing out from games. The kind of stuff i knew i would ever get from releases worth over 40 or 30 dollars. F### triple A games, most of them just plainly s###. Dull and non inventive bringing the same old thing over and over swearing its new but it isnt. Thank you I had a great experience.

hundredhundred 2014-09-17 07:18

Awesome game!

greytram 2014-11-11 16:07

Very interesting gameplay concept! And congratulations for the impressive technical work and polished artwork. I read your explanations on your blog, very interesting insights indeed!
