Run to Dragsil by Nekonemo

[raw]
made by Nekonemo for LD 39 (JAM)

Once upon a time there were a young man and a tiny fairy who had met thanks to a spatio-temporal rift between their two parallel worlds. Each of them had his body in his own world and his soul in the other world. They were happy and in love and had a lot of projects. But one day the rift closed suddenly. Their trapped souls then began to weaken. To save their lives, they had no choice but to find the transporters and to escape in the land of Dragsil at the junction of their two worlds.

Help them to find the transporters and escape before their soul energy is exhausted despite all the obstacles on the way. Their life energy is running out as their soul are trapped in the wrong world and bypassing the obstacles makes them weaker by consuming energy. All obstacles required a different amount of energy and changing of world weaken them too so be smart, choose well and go fast!

Move = arrows, Change world = ctrl, Interact = space bar

Cool game! The idea is very original but it was basicly random if talking to the dog or talking to the magical thing would be the right thing. If there was some kind of logic throughout the game that the player could see and then use it to think every time what action would be better, it would be more interesting. Right now it's pretty much about restarting a lot of times and dieing a lot till you randomly find the best way to go. Other than that, the art was very cool. Good work!

Lovely Artstyle <3 And the world switching mechanic backed up by the story is really cool :)

Not a nice dog! Bug: sometimes I can walk to the right facing the left. Nice concept I will recommend add more features.

Effective games allow the player to make choices that change the outcome of the game. Here, you have no choice most of the time - which makes it annoying, particularly as the "obstacles" are basically things which a real person would just walk around!

The world-switching mechanic has a lot of potential. If what you do in one world affected the other world, that would be awesome - and might solve some of the other problems with the game.

Interesting game with a cute art design.
The dimensional switching mechanic was interesting, but having the actions of one character impact the world of the other more would make it even better.

Lovely but (too) short game. The gameplay is great and could be expanded. The graphical style isn't really consistent and could be improved.

There could be a cool game to be made where there are two planes you need to switch between to solve puzzles. As it is now, this game is effectively random. I can't tell what consequences my actions will have.

Cute game! :D Some bug(? maybe): you can keep walking on the dog and the dog will be pushed until you hit the next object/obstacle. But other than that, it's all good. Keep up the good work! :)

Gamemechanic is creative. Nice proof of concept.

Interesting, but some of the obstacles have negative consequences. It would be nice if there was a way to bypass said obstacles so you don't suddenly die.

Really cool game! It's for boys and girls :D I like your graphics and the story. Innovative, simple to play, a little tricky and funny to play :)
Thanks for this interesting work!

Cute graphics! Little tricky to figure out which obstacles are the "right ones." I like the concept of switching worlds though.

That is a pretty solid little project! The idea of jumping back and forth between worlds is very creative! Like a couple of the other comments have said, it would be cool if the concept was build and expanded upon. Keep up the great work! :)
