Inversion by EncryptedCow

[raw]
made by EncryptedCow for LD30 (JAM)
Inversion is a platformer where you switch between 2 characters in opposite dimensions. You must use them together to get to the end of each level.

I ended up having to work all three days of LD so I didn't get too much time to work on this, but it's something.

WASD/Arrows/Space to control your character and E to switch between them. Your goal is to get to the orange box on each level.

Wow that was super hard but liked the idea of switching back and forth in different dimensions. Good game :)

Well done! Simple ideas are often the best. My reaction times always suck for timing jumps though.

You got a pretty good game going so far! I think if you worked a mechanic into the fact that the two characters can feel each other's presence it would be a solid little puzzle platformer.

Having the little hearts beep when you're overtop your partner is a skilful narrative touch! I also appreciate that you included some nice accel/deccel in the platforming physics; there's a good sense of sticky friction going on.

Pretty good. The movement was a bit too slippery but other than that its very well done. More levels, sound and music would have been good if you'd had more time.

Reminds me of the Shift series. Neat little entry. Would have like to see the switching a bit more explored, than just used for collecting one thing in one world, and then switching to the other.

Well done. Jump are may be to much nervous.

Overall it's quite fun, but the controls can be somewhat too slippery, particularly when jumping. And some music would have made the game noticeably better. But time constraints and work hindered you, which I completely appreciate. The premise and some of the puzzles are good though -- an interesting take on the theme.
