The Imaginary Room

Wow! When I saw your GIF my mind exploded with possibilities. What an ambitious project idea and I'm surprised you got it as far as you did in 3 days. My main and only real complaint with this is that it seems to me like there is a little bit of a disconnect between the mega man world and the gallery 3d view. I'm guessing that you aren't converting the 3d models into 2d form via perspective but rather using player coordinates to give a 2d tilemap coordinate depending upon where you are standing.

I am not explaining myself well, but it was hard at times to figure out where your player was and what the world would look like when you went into 2d view but overall great job, one of the best ideas I've seen for this LDJAM

Thanks for playing my game! It actually is perspective. But I think there might a bug in the mapping, in addition to the Megaman world not being the best pick for 3D to 2D conversion, because multple objects would have to be on the same spot. But that's a hindsight thing.

I couldn't stop playing this! Great work! the movement of the 2d world is a bit different but other than that I loved it!

a bit confuse at first. I can't get the player go quite right. I will try again later

Neat!

Thanks for the comments guys! Appreciated! @Brillie Phan Aww. What is the problem? Sometimes the positioning can be a bit finicky.

Love your concept, my favorite game of the jam thus far by far!

Very original and very interesting! It's amazing that you did all that in just 72 hours. You managed to explore quite a few different puzzle concepts that I think went really well. I think the first room was a bit too crowded for it's own good, especially since perspective matters a lot in this game. Otherwise, I thought this was a great game!

This is so good, what an amazing idea! I thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay on this one, even if unfinished funnily enough.

Some finicky positioning of the tiles from perspective sometimes and a bit too floaty 2D controls plague the experience a little bit, but it's definitely a great achievement regardless. Very well done!

davidpixel 2018-04-25 21:24

Such an original idea :_D Took me a while to understand how the game works but it was good time trying to guess it since nothing is forcing you to advance. Really great game!

Wow this game was fantastic.

one thought was that the 2d controls felt very slow. the other, when it was over was, "oh man, I want more"

very good game

memedev0 2018-04-25 22:16

This is an amazing idea. My only problem was my own incompetence at puzzles. These are HARD

versatile-box 2018-04-25 22:23

Amazing concept! Still trying to figure out how it works, but the idea is really nice.

pebkac 2018-04-26 13:22

Nice 'augmented reality'. However, oftentimes when picking up the gameboy, I didn't get a Mario.

abductedplatypus 2018-04-26 13:32

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated!

@pebkac that happens when there is no ! highlighted on screen. I guess I could have made that a bit clearer.

pebkac 2018-04-26 17:55

@abductedPlatypus Thanks for the tip, I'll try it again!

abductedplatypus 2018-04-26 18:55

Great, thanks!

kroltan 2018-04-26 23:42

That is an amazing idea! You've probably invented a completely new kind of puzzle mechanic. I strongly encourage you to take this project further, since you might be onto something really amazing! Maybe Imaginary Room can be the next Portal!

dovakla 2018-04-27 02:51

This is such an incredible concept and I would love to know how you pulled it off, especially in just 72 hours. I think it could have used a little more polishing, since I was unable to get out of the first room. It's also a little too floaty for my taste.

yetman 2018-04-28 09:59

The idea is amazing and I love the implementation. The 2D part can a little bit hard though since the controls are bit floaty and it is hard to jump when there are tiles near the characters head. Otherwise, the game is really awesome and I have enjoyed collecting the 8 coins. Great job.

danes1111 2018-05-10 17:12

Really good concept, I hope you will take this idea further.

kwisarts 2018-05-10 20:14

Pretty cool concept that I think would be nice to further dig!

I was pretty confused at first because I couldn't figure out how the level generation worked (and I still don't know what's going on with the other screens) and it's only after trying many spots that I got a bit more grasp of it. Perhaps it would have helped to make it more clear than what you see in the tablet is 100% made depending on what you see in game. Also you _need_ a ! to have your character. I didn't get that at first.

Despite that, I managed to get all the coins! The one in the ceiling was the hardest to get to imo.
