Phaze by Stuffie

[raw]
made by Stuffie for LD30 (COMPO)
Pilot your ship through an abandoned space station that has gone mysteriously silent, rumour has it that a strange dimensional anomaly occurred. Use the ships dimension jumping capabilities to shift into the other Phaze to avoid enemies or find new paths, who knows how entwined both dimensions might be.

Footnotes
==========================================
I left the level making til the end and couldn't finish in time. The game level is currently unfinished, horribly balanced and it just ends in a big wall, but I hope you guys enjoy what v little is there.

This is my first go at sound in a LD so I hope it doesn't melt your ears :D.

====================================
Controls
====================================
WASD or Arrows to Move
SPACE to shoot
X to Phaze

The stauff that is there is well executed. Shame you couldn't finish :/

Really beautiful, I dig your sounds as well. Incredible mood :)

The concept looks awesome, but I did not manage to die, and the camera was really too slow. I could not really see the link with the theme either ^^

I dont really get the comments about the game being hard, I just floating through most everything and nothing could actually hurt/touch/kill me. Is that normal? Otherwise really cool look and feel and nice sounds so far!

Really like where this is going. You should check out Superdimensional http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-30/?action=preview&uid=35646 with your game and their phasing and graphics polish your onto something, contact them!

Loved the graphics on this, and it was really fun to play. The concept was cool and this is really impressive for a 48 hour game. Well done!

Great mood/feel. I see a lot of potential, though it obviously needs work to be a complete piece! I didn't read your description before I played, so I was wondering what this huge blue wall was at the end. Anyway, you've created a really nice game world and I'd like to see more.

Thanks guys, and yeah if your floating through things something probably broke :(. Thanks for the suggestion Arowx, that was a pretty awesome, super polished (and finished :D) entry.

Graphics we're very nice. Good atmosphere. My ship just floated through everything, but I could see this being a cool game when fixed.

Nice looking game - and good interpretation of the theme. I couldn't get very far though.
