Mirror Worlds by malf

made by malf for LD30 (COMPO)

Two heroes trying to get to the exit...though ...they live in Mirror Worlds ,condemned to make the same actions and unable to pass to the other side.. unless you take advantage of the asymetries.
LEFT/RIGHT to move
UP to jump
SPACE to shoot..if you have bullets

UPDATE 27/8:
Fixed a pair of bugs , I think the rules allow for it because I have not changed the gameplay,:
* one of the sounds got stuck in a loop
* you were able to jump indefinitely
* two levels were not symetric by one block

If this breaks the rules I'll change it back

I like the idea. A little too slick and fast for me though.

Very hard, but I powered through all the levels.

Nice! It's challenging, but not unfair. Moving for the first time surprised the hell out of me ;)

This game made my brain hurt, but in a good way :o

Nice job! It's very hard, and it made me have to think! :)

I really like the idea, I think it has potential. I think you should work on the levels, I got stuck on level 3 and I have no idea how to pass that level.

Haaard! but great fun!!!

I liked this very much. Simple concept, but strong level design makes it interesting. When you get to level 3 the game starts to show its potential :)
Having to click 'retry' is bit of annoyance since the game is otherwise played from keyboard.

Nice!

OMG hard. Really nice idea though! Graphics were cute too.

Nice idea but the slippery controls make it a bit frustrating. For instance in level 5 you die an awful lot just by going off the edge of the screen. I think maybe if instead of dying you appeared at the other side, like in a wrapped world, it would make room for some interesting puzzles.

interesting concept, had to think a bit in lvlv3, since i killed all the enemies first

Thanks for all the feedback :D

I know that it lacks more levels and some adjustments to the controls but i didn't have more time! (I could only program the sunday)

Also I've discovered (better:my son has discovered ;D) a pair of bugs that I introduced in the last rush, I'll reupload the game as I think the rules allow for it.

Thanks again!

Assets.hx:547: [openfl.Assets]There is no String asset with an ID of "data/level11.oel" has to be the best victory message so far!

I got trough some of the later levels using some very questionable tactics, but I managed to clear it. Having to navigate the menus and click the buttons with the mouse is a little annoying like gnx already mentioned. I also thing it would be more intuitive if the controls were from the perspective of the green guy (first thing I did was rush of the map :D).

Level design was good! The sounds were a bit annoying some times. :p I like the character icons, they're cute! Good work!

Very nice and clever game, many people does mirror things but yours is original.

great concept and level design! took me a while to understand what was going on. the sound that play when only one player goes through the exit is extremely annoying. must be hard to be in a world without a friend :P

A bit slidey, but pretty neat!

I really liked this game! The graphics were nice, clean and old school, and the levels were pretty clever and just puzzly enough. Really excellent work! : )

Interesting mechanic - the fact that they bounce off each other added a lot more challenge than I thought. Nice work!

DrPrettyPatty

Very nice! It was challenging in a really good way and a great take on the theme :D My one criticism would be to have a key to advance to the next level instead of needing to switch back and forth between the mouse and keyboard.

The bounce off each other was added to hide the fact that the physics are not perfect XD.

And the mouse/keyboard switch problem is one of those things that you don't see an easy solution when you are rushing to finish at least 10 levels (I was thinking of 25 and a lot of "artifacts")

I'll try to make an after-compo version this week with all those things

Thanks for playing and commenting :D

Cool idea, but I don't find the controls really comfortable. Plus it lacks music :(

Tifu

02. Sep 2014 · 12:52 UTC

Good concept. Maybe I'm dim, but some of the levels don't seem to be asymetrical, so I have no idea how to get past my mirror self =/
Other people have though, so... I'm missing something I think...

Cool game, but it have more irregular parts.

grayhaze

02. Sep 2014 · 14:59 UTC

Fun concept and gets difficult quickly. For some reason my brain always wanted the controls to map directly to the green guy. Perhaps because he starts on the left? Once I got past that this was really enjoyable. Good work! :)

🎤 malf

04. Sep 2014 · 07:33 UTC

@Tifu . In which level did you get stuck? Sometimes the asymetry is in the number of bullets or in the enemies ;D

Diiieeed! A lot. Couldn't get past level 5. But the mechanics were great and the game fun. Good job!

Fun entry based on really great idea that actually works well. And the sounds are neat :)
