I missed the part where it said "Once you switch rooms, the maze will be completely different." Unfortunately, that makes level layout pointless because, someone can just spam the spacebar to go in the direction they wanted to go in.
I think if you limited it to 2 or 3 randomly generated worlds at the start and toggle between the three, it could make interesting puzzles.
Also, a very simple set of enemies moving around to make it a bit challenging.
I like this game. :D
@Kizler I was planning on having enemies, but decided to not add them thinking that they would take away from the puzzle.
There are actually 4 generated worlds, but I agree, I think it is kind of too many.
so i love how he got me banned so i can't do jack diddly squat
@George W. Bush what?

Cool concept with the overlaying dimensions, but think it needs more to be an enjoyable game. I like being able to see the next dimension overlayed, but it's annoying having to release shift to press space first. could be interesting with something chasing you perhaps.
game was shiet
@impbox I really should have added enemies.
The idea is not bad at all, but indeed added some ennemies could have bring some more interest to the game, beacause it is now really easy as we can spam spacebar until the way we want open. :)
@Yami no tenshi I didn't know if it would make it too hard or not, so I decided not to include them. Also, I do have a mechanism to block spamming space, it hurts your eyes haha.
I collected about 30 coins. )

Good maze generation.
@Splendius Thanks! This is the first time of done level generation.
Good game. Please add .exe file to links. It will be easy to start playing. Please add improved graphics solution and more gameplay featues!
@Alecander Kondyrev I am using Google Analytics now so that's why, but I'll try to make it better (redirect instead of link)
@Alexander Kondyrev Fixed For you. Now you should get the download box without clicking anything.
Cool idea. It was a little tough to play, the key presses kept failing to register for some reason. Neat concept though!

nice one. but could use a bit of something...
@Justin Mullin I think that is because you can't hit space while looking with the overlay. There shouldn't be keys failing to register other than that.

2 predrawn worlds would have been better than 4 generated ones, because I did just go trough it by spamming space. The mechanic itself is fairly intriguing though, so good job!
@mirta000 Thanks, I probably should have lowered the amount I agree.
Realy nice game!
I hope I'll see you next compo again!?
Also please go ahead and try out my Game!

Switching dimensions is fun, even if you just looking for a pass to a collectible item. :)
Would love to see more puzzles based on that feature.
@Coauctor Awesome. I really like that mechanic. I'm happy I got it implemented. Thanks for the feedback.
Good maze game which could be improved with other features, but it is good enough. I had fun playing it. Well done ++
@Geckoo1337 thanks!
I really like the concept and the sweeping synth music. Currently, there is no penalty for hitting space until I can go where I want to go, so maybe you could have tied that to the number of coins collected, e.g. 1 coins allows for 3 dimension switches. Either way: I like the concept!
Really cool concept! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/jorB_de2Urk
