Really nice. It seems to me that our games are singularly similar. Neat. A good entry ++

winmac32 2015-04-20 03:28

That is such a neat idea. Great job.

Very nice, I like the concept of shifting between planes. Tough it's a bit hard to know where you will teleport!

mcmahoniel 2015-04-20 03:31

Reminds me a lot of all the weird games from the '90s. Took a little bit of time to figure out exactly what I was doing, it's really great concept.

Interesting idea. It's pretty tough, you have to die a lot to figure out where you will go.

I think front loading the controls was kind of confusing. the only keys I really used so far were the arrow keys along with e and d. If you had maybe put them in the level like a tutorial it probably could've helped a bit.

Nice visuals, love the monitor effect, the art looks really stylish and the concept is amazing! Very interesting type of puzzle, very fresh. My only gripes are that the sound is abrasive and I wish I could access the remote diagram without having to start over.

leandrus 2015-04-20 04:54

I planned to set the remote on screen as easy visual/reminder and or a initial tutorial. but time was my enemy jejejeje :)

The Channel switching is really clever. Good game.

mattv 2015-04-20 05:25

This seems like an amazing idea but there's no way I can remember what all the buttons do.

zqmony 2015-04-20 05:27

Very cool idea and game. Very tough, but a well done game.

dustoutgames 2015-04-20 05:57

Presentation is really nice overall. I found some of the sound effects a little bit grating, and some guidance would have been helpful, but the concept is really interesting, and the bits I did manage to figure out were fun.

It's hard to understand the logic of the game. Finally, i undertand it, and i like the logic. It's a nice concept and game. Congratulations.

helekopeter 2015-04-20 14:21

Nice concept, but really confusing

khahem 2015-04-20 14:36

It took me a bit of time to get it, but the idea if changing channels it really well done here.

It actually felt more like a puzzle, I'm wondering if the game would have been better without limited lived at all, just trying to figure out how to progress and explore.

Great game !

mimus 2015-04-20 14:54

Very interesting, I liked the game alot!

The channel changing mechanic was really cool! I found the platform mechanics restricting though, it was hard to move through the levels. With a few fixes and testing this is worth expanding into a fun game. Great job!

ashtonharding 2015-04-20 22:08

I thought it was pretty cool. :)

pvwradtke 2015-04-21 03:00

Hey, that's really cool. using different channels as different maps is really cool. ItÅ› a bit hard to get started, and some more guidance would have been great. But it's a solid concept, and a fun on to boot. Thumbs up!

marsares2011 2015-04-21 11:54

Great idea, though bit irritating to change a channel and get instant death.

headmade 2015-04-21 20:38

Very interesting idea and well implemented too.
However it seems to be impossible to predict if it's safe to switch the channel or not. I think there should be a way of knowing otherwise it's very frustrating to explore the world especially since you have limited health.

interface 2015-04-22 02:26

Nice game, but pretty hard with insta death on switching (without knowing where you'll end up), and complicated controls. Perhaps a way to get back to the help screen, or on-screen tutorials of some kind.

iaknihs 2015-04-22 06:17

Very cool game. Maybe a bit troublesome that I have to learn by heart the game before I can do anything without dying, but hey there are games like that, too.

zener 2015-04-22 18:40

Excellent idea, and very well implemented

bace1000 2015-04-23 06:31

Quite confusing at first, but it made sense in the end for me! You should have explained which controls mattered as they were introduced, and also made the jump slightly higher. Well done!

ccglp 2015-04-23 14:58

Very nice idea, the channel switching mecanic is good

c-lodwick 2015-04-23 15:06

really interesting gameplay design. tough to master, but fun to explore. felt great when a channel switch worked out. controls should be accessible from game also i just read the orange stars tip that's pretty cool but probably hard to figure out one's own.

kitch 2015-04-24 00:48

Really cool concept, and could be a lot of fun. The limited lives felt a bit punishing, especially when starting out. But a really cool idea and great concept.
Thanks

blobo 2015-04-24 01:10

Really cool game. i love the concept. i found a glitch allowing you to infinitely double jump by switching channels though.

nameoftheuser 2015-05-01 14:35

Love the crt shader you did

leandrus 2015-05-04 13:12

Thanks all. A lot of good feedback here on the comments.

mrodrigues 2015-05-04 14:44

I loved the concept, but it was too hard! I couldn't find out what to do, I tried to channel up on the orange stars but ended up dying all the same! :(
I hope you keep working on this title, nice job! :)

leandrus 2015-05-06 01:48

Thanks for playing it.
Yes it's a bit frustrating the way it's the game set now.
indeed I'm working on a full/polish version of the game.

archonthewizard 2015-05-06 19:48

Very interesting idea, had fun figuring out the mechanics

jk5000 2015-05-06 20:21

Brilliant ide!

pietdagamer 2015-05-08 13:06

Very cool idea!

job_ 2015-05-11 15:10

What an complete game! Theme fits perfectly, really innovative. Graphics and sounds are really neat.
I found it hard to get started thought. Maybe when picking up something, display it's control? Or just a portable legend?
Awesome work.
