Wow... what a weird game. But kinda cool!

I wish I had control of my own feet though. It's a shame it's quite short.

It'd be nice if you could see the other world partially.

Also: *primarily

The right buttons seemed to be stuck I could not control the character.

Suese, you can't move the character directly.
Only jump and switch)

Jezzamon,
Thanks!

I can't find any way to edit the description. Is it possible?

Quite a fun game! World switching reminds me of the latest Giana Sisters game. Well done!

I like the idea that you always run. This is like Super Mario meets Temple Run :)

Life is indeed, too short.

Too hard. I think you need to keep the character toward the left side, like in Canabalt. Also, no sound?? But hey, you finished in 48 hours and it runs smooth :)

I always enjoy one-button runners and it's cool that you added the extra dimension idea! Good job!

This was fun, but difficult. How many levels are there? I made it to the one that starts off with a big vertical line of coins.

Its neat to see another game with the extra dimensionial mechanic.

It might've been nice if you were able to preview the other dimension before transporting to it, it would enable more experimentation without sudden spike death.

How do you kill the kittens? There doesn't seem to be an attack key, and the character just runs through them... jumping on them does nothing either.

Ah ok I see now, that's what the swapping worlds thing is for.

I love the concept! Had lots of fun playing your game. The only thing I would point out is that the extra-dimension preview of some way would be useful. Well done tho

I agree with Jezzamon, I wish I could see where the other world will be without trial and error and level restarting.

Cool mechanics nonetheless, good job!

Nice worlds switching idea! But I personally find accelerating a bit awkward, maybe it's better to make him running at a constant speed? :)

Really liked the world changing concept and the difficulty. The game is addicting. It has that Mega Man "one more try" aspect to it.

I didn't hate kittens until now :P

Liked the always run mechanic. Felt like this could borrow some mechanics from Runman/Donkey Kong Country and be very interesting.
