\ \ World Shift \ \
A 3d platformer in two dimensions.
2 dimensions each containing different platforms, you'll have to switch between them to successfully get to the end.

Apologies for the very short length of the game. I'm not very good at level design and ran out of time...

Controls:
WASD: Move
Space: Jump
LMB: Switch dimension

Gamepad controls:
Left thumbstick: Move
(A):Jump
(X):Switch dimension

I had an issue with the camera. It was pointing down all the time. When I would drag with mouse or the use the gamepad's stick to move the camera up, it would just drag to point straight down.
Could not play because of that issue.

Nice. Very difficult. Great atmosphere :)

A 3D take on the platform-switch game, nice!
It feels very immersive too.

Good job! It would be great if you could expand it with more interesting levels!

p/s: The game ate my mouse icon though and I had to close the window for it to return

@ThatSamu
Are you sure it wasn't a problem with the gamepad stick? Did you try it without the gamepad plugged in? Because that's really weird :/ I'll look into it though.

@ConciseBit
If you're playing in the browser, you can press escape to make it regurgitate the mouse ;) (All unity games work like that)

This is really cool, some of the jumps required can be pretty had to make though. Especially when a jump requires you change colors mid jump so you can't even see where you're trying to land until after you're committed to the jump.

Nice, music is ok, (although I could go with little less distortion), game is challenging and quite pretty. Only problem I had is jump mechanic, would prefer more responsive one, hard to be precise with such floating. Also there was an issue at the yellow gate, I didn't have key but when I died I was respawned on the other side. All in all nice job

Pretty frustrating especially with no crosshair and no lighting since it's hard to tell distances and aim.

Fun platformer.

I liked the extra paths to collect the keys. The floaty jumping took a bit to get used to, but then it was possible to make precise jumps with it.

It took a lot to load the game. Very nice concept, but it's harder than it seems :-S

First off, I like it. Atmosphere is just great. The Style totally works for me.
But the controls are kinda wonky. I is hard to tell how fast you are moving. Maybe some dust would help to tell if you are moving or not.

This game is very good, but I'm very bad at jumping puzzles.

Cool game! Love the concept! I included it in part 6 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/v1uehyKcvFY

I would love to see this concept expanded on! Controls felt a bit floaty, though. 3D platforming is hard!

Very nice, although a little sparse on ways the platform switch actually interacts meaningfully with the platforming mechanics.

Looks real nice too, great atmosphere. :)

Very cool concept! I had a hard time giving it up - it was fun to play!

Hi there. Found the camera position, lack of 3rd person and visuals combined to make it tough to aim accurately for platforms, so only got to just past the first black space on red platforms before giving up. Liked the music.

Interesting gameplay. It's difficult to switch dimension and jump at the same time. Good music. It might be great with a few feedbacks sounds on the ground. Good job for 48h!
