Puzzle Connection by dem0

[raw]
made by dem0 for LD30 (COMPO)
You control two cubes in two different, connected worlds. Other one is in the top half and other one is in the bottom half and they have inverted gravities so you have to pay attentiOn to both! It's quite challenging! You have to watch out spikes and get the cubes into end portals (the cubic ones, round are teleports).

5 levels so far, more coming in (possible) post-compo version!

EDIT 1.9.2014
Uploaded the post-compo version!
Features:
- Level editor
- Music (not by me)
- More levels!
- Cannons, enemies
- Some other improvements

I had much fun, Cool little game! Second level is too hard :) Great Job! Some performance problems, program starts very slowly - but it works after loading.

Pretty clever how you had teleporters and doors that lead to the other size of the world.

Pretty alright. This was a really neat idea and the levels were really fun to play. Sounds and looks were adorable; more music would have been awesome too, but limited time I know (cant get everything in). However My only complaint is the use of lives. This game uses a lot of trial and error to figure out what works and what doesn't in levels. I'm not sure if you maybe added lives just to give the look of a longer game or if you just thought it'd work. Either way, the game is really fun and you should keep working on it!

TY for the feedback! :)

The compo version was made in about 5 hours so that explains the skeletonish feel :P

I've worked on a post-compo version some time now and it's done but lacks levels, still. It includes for example level packs, level editor, music, enemies, cannons, better gameplay(you can affect the jump height) and more stuff! Uploading when the levels are done, timelapse also coming up :)

Fun game and hard. The right kind of graphics for what the game was. I've seen the theme used in this manner for other games, but your use was still solid.

Good game with pretty cool sound effects that take me back to sega genesis and NES. By the way Why player has life in a puzzle game??

This is really cool! Brutal, but I like it :) Perhaps the lives were a bit much, after playing it a few times I gave up at the third level I think. Starting over god too tedious quickly
