I found it a bit easier if I used my mouse cursor to plot out the square I needed to book it to haha. Definitely a cool game. Solid menu, graphics, and features for the time constraint. I thought the progression was about right too. Really good use of the theme. I'm going to beat it... eventually."},{"author_name":"capsizedmoose","author_uid":"30615","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 5:27am","epoch":1408944120,"text":"this is pretty fun :D"},{"author_name":"cardboard","author_uid":"16294","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 5:39am","epoch":1408944840,"text":"The difficulty increased very effectively.

Otherwise, great game, nice graphics, a fairly solid concept (although one which I have seen before) and I love the animation at the outside :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The music can be a little repetitive, but this is a short game, and written in a short time space, so well done!"},{"author_name":"mee.feed","author_uid":"42302","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 5:34pm","epoch":1408987740,"text":"Awesome Game really.

I actually became aware of this in the last 6 hours or so of development. I decided to leave it in because 1. the effort to track it down and 'fix' it wasn't something I could afford and 2. I actually just thought it was really cool! haha.

The game is innovative in its approach but I would enjoy the ability to control the switching or speed it up a little bit because I sometimes felt it was too long when I was just waiting for it to switch. Also, the movement of the character felt a little floaty (moved more than I expected it to). Otherwise I really like the idea and you should try to polish the graphics and audio a little bit."},{"author_name":"steve","author_uid":"5178","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 3:09pm","epoch":1409065440,"text":"I really enjoyed this, especially the last level where I had to think several switches ahead.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think it could have done with a 1 key buffer though, there were a couple of places I died because I double tapped the key and the second hit didn't register.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This might be because I've been playing a lot of crypt of the necrodancer recently, but I also felt as though the switch should in some way be timed to the beat of the music, the music felt a little disconnected from the game to me because the game has a tick\/tock beat, but the music didn't follow it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I also hit that bug of being able to cross between tiles during the switch when I should have fallen to my doom, it did have an element of  'saving myself in the nick of time', but overall it felt a bit exploity :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Foreshadowing the game in the menu design was a clever touch too."},{"author_name":"ShaunJS","author_uid":"40711","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 4:11pm","epoch":1409069160,"text":"@Steve\r<br\/>Thanks!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I actually did play with the idea of the music syncing with the switching as that would have been AMAZING to get working. But unfortunately for gameplay reasons the timing of the switches had to occur differently on each level. (and also the timing resets when you die, etc)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Not that it wouldn't have been possible to find a way to do this, but there simply wasn't time. Would have loved to do it though and I agree it would make things better!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for playing =)"},{"author_name":"FGM","author_uid":"37077","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 1:38pm","epoch":1409232780,"text":"Loved it.

Sucks that you didn't get a chance to really break away from gameplay similar to [Another] Perspective, but this is still a unique and interesting game itself. And fun! \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Not to discredit the puzzles in any way, but I really think the title screen is my favorite thing about this game. Too many games just throw away the title screen like it's a necessary evil. Yours was basically the first tutorial level, and served as a great introduction to the gameplay."}],"images":["ld30\/40711-eeacbffe4b2a439a9c82f76fb3844e63.jpg","ld30\/40711-01fbfd8c5aec236fba21a3204a9cb8ca.jpg","ld30\/40711-0b690520a3b6a201e09a71f053c4728c.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/shaunspalding.co.uk\/Planestroller.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/shaunspalding.co.uk\/Planestroller.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"17355","g_author":"40711","g_event":"LD30","g_eventkey":"24","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"17384","g_title":"Planestroller","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"65","g_commentcount":"29","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/40711-shot0.gif-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/40711-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/40711-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Dev Timelapse: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HYal2-fzVZs <3\r\n\r\nA short game about a Wizard who's power to change reality went haywire and flung him into some extradimensional... place.\r\n\r\nAll you need is love.
