That was gorgeous.
I liked the damage world vs regen world mechanic too! Great game.

I love the concept, great game, the challenge was fun.
But like many people have mentioned, the dark world could be better. However I don't think it is a feedback issue, but more an awareness issue. In real life when you're in the dark, you know how much you turn, you can feel the environment and generally know your orientation (facing up or down). Not knowing the game world too much, I wasn't sure whether I was looking up or down, whether I could move forward, back, left or right. Assuming that you walk exactly as you did in the visible world, that created another problem because the mouse sensitivity in that world was quite higher than I'm used to in an FPS, which left me thinking "Did I turn 360 degrees or 180 degrees, or even 270 degrees?" in the dark world. Was the room a maze or a boxed room? Was the sound able to go through walls? All questions that could have lead to frustration.
It was a lot better once the sound was in range though (could use it to determine the way I was facing), so maybe having some ambient sound or echo could have helped the entire room. Or even restricting mouse look to only left and right, in both worlds, so the player knows that it won't be a problem in the dark world.
I was able to finish it (maybe luck?), but I could see how some people could get frustrated.
Great game though!
The dynamic music was nice :)
Bit bizarre, but nice outro!
Hahah this is great! And sad astroids are funny
haha that was awesome!
Very pretty!
Great writing!
Haha very cute. Not sure if the delay in jumping is an intentional design decision, but it helps build character for the little guy.
Really dig the concept, the wireframe levels were a bit confusing at first (maybe some transparent surfaces / depth perception would have helped?), but still really cool! :)
This is actually pretty cool once you figure it out. Was very confused at first, but the trick is to look around (using right click) for the other planet that you're supposed to transport the dudes to.
Graphics and Audio are amazing!
Can't go wrong with a side scrolling shooter, nice work!
What was the reason for the colour worlds though? I just realised when you change it, it just changes the enemy colours?
Once you figure out the mechanic, the dynamic of taking different types of passengers from one planet, and making multiple stops (like a bus) is actually quite fun!
Would be better if the aesthetic matched the gameplay a bit better though, and for anyone else, to drag the ship, drag the triangle itself, not the circle (planet) that it is sitting on.
Haha this is really cute, and the game parts aren't bad at all! well done.

Pretty cool, probably unfinished, but can see the potential!
Tight Angle by lase 2014-12-11T05:10:00
zoom as a powerup is great!

Doesn't seem to work on OSX. The download is an name.app.zip. Extracting gives me nonsense files, and renaming from .zip to .app says it can't open on non PowerPC :(

The acceleration / deceleration delay is a bit annoying on a keyboard. But the game looks gorgeous! Need to try it with a controller.

Love the aesthetic!
I don't get how it calculates a loss or a win though?
I would love to see what other people wrote :D
Fido, Fiona & Fidel by pjimmy 2014-12-09T09:02:00
haha this is funny. Does HOT mean I win? because I couldnt move anywhere but left or right

This is amazing.

Great puzzles!
OMNI by Noah Ratcliff 2014-12-09T03:41:00
This is all round awesome! Use of theme, graphics and gameplay are so unique. Spot on.
Only annoying thing is sometimes I shoot just a bit to high while I'm just standing there, and it causes me to go offscreen then resets :(

I could see this working really well as a mobile game.
And not sure if it was intentional, but the random physics actually adds a lot of fun to it lol

Cool idea once I got it. At first I thought it was bugging out, but the parallel dimension aspect is neat (a lot of leap of faiths :).
I agree with the texture being a bit disorienting though. It's an interesting effect, but maybe if the pattern was smaller so it looked more like a texture. Also the 2 dimensions would be better communicated if the aesthetic or colours changed, rather than just the objects switching (because it is so similar that it just looks like I moved slightly or teleported).

Regarding browsers issues, initial load on Safari had no UI, but then worked after reload, so might help others :)
Fun game, I agree with the reload being a bit weird though, I didn't realise at first, thought it broke. Maybe if it had auto reload, or there was a different noise when trying to shoot with no bullets.

Wow were the characters rotoscoped? They look amazing. I wish this was longer!
Gridception by Hammers 2014-12-08T13:34:00
Gets really trippy really fast with the ins and outs, but thats a good thing!
Great puzzles, but would be even more awesome with an art pass over :)
Harpoon Raccoon by mahu 2014-12-08T13:09:00
Cool art style! Local versus could be a fun addition to this
