Use of the limitation
The limitation was incorporated by the player having only one life, but being able to use their inner "ghost" to help solve problems. The player is trapped in their life in their room, and uses powers to collect the fragments needed to escape this loop.

Not many, haha. I'm a healthy food guy (lots of apples during those 72 hours).

Fun concept, unfortunately I really suck at puzzles so I got stuck at level 5... Not sure what to do and what it means that buttons appear & disappear in the normal/main world 😅
I'm glad the puzzle presented a bit of a challenge for someone, haha. In level 5, the secret is to find the right button to press to make the box appear in the normal world. I believe the biggest challenge is the time you have in the inverted world, which is quite short, so you have to be sure of what you're going to do, haha.
Good pixel art. But the character has quite a lot of abilities, and I haven’t figured out how to use them properly. For example, if I use a certain ability at some locations, a box spawns in the scene. If I’m standing where the box spawns, I get stuck inside it
Thanks for playing! Which level did you get stuck on? It might be a bug, I'm sorry about that. I wasn't able to do as many tests as I would have liked. Regarding the powers, the player has 2 powers: one activated by pressing "Space", which takes them to the inverted world, and another called "Echo", where they use a kind of ghost that repeats certain recorded movements and helps with the puzzles.
I got upset for an ai game haveing 10 rates but I can't say anything because my game is bad
Thanks for playing! Your game it's not bad, but I didn't understand how to play some parts (I got stuck on the interaction with the first NPC). Maybe it was a problem with the browser version, or maybe I just didn't understand it :)
it's the end of the game because i didn't had time to complete it
Oh, I understand. The time was very short for me too. I liked to make like 30 levels of puzzles, but in the end I can do only five easy levels. But take your time and publish some update version!!
i really liked the music
but i don't know if this game is fully ai made?
No. I used AI to make the manu background imagem and to help me with my code, fixing some bugs. The objects like the mirror and the fragment are made by me and the character and others object by my teammate. The music was made by Hyst3rya, the team composer
Yeah ai can be helpful but I doesn't use ai. But my brother is and he keep telling me that he uses ai to learn c# and html but the think is that he doesn't know anything and this is why I commented the first place because of hím
And for big fixes I think it's okay if you understand what you are doing tó use ai
Good luck for yours game.
You always have to understand what you are doing. The ai is not that perfect, but don't be afraid to use. Will help you a lot.
The puzzle is really well designed! Very original concept and great art and execution :D
Thanks friend! My teammates did an excellent job with some of the graphics and especially the music.
Nice job! I got all the fragments 😎 awesome puzzles and everything
The game is really very interesting and the concept is unique. I like the atmosphere, are there no sounds in the game?? I didn't hear any audio.
I just played it and I was able to hear plenty! maybe a different browser would work? I could hear SFX and music on firefox
Yup my bad, my headphones had audio turned off🤦♂️🤦♂️
Happy the problem are not the game sounds haha. I think maybe de music are too high for the sound effects or something like that
it happens, the worst part is we have to keep tweaking it until it is perfect.
would u like to give my game a try too? :)
Very interesting and unique concept, the music is a vibe, i like how it switched vibes between the two different visions. Great job!
This is very good idea, i really liked the skill and it can be used in great puzzles.
This is a very cool concept. I love the dimension switching, I'm a big fan of that. The pixel art and the music is really good as well.
The level design is well done, I really appreciate the scale in difficulty and teaching the players the mechanics so it's more satisfying when we solve the puzzle. I would love to see this idea expanded upon in the future!
One small bug, when in full screen for some reason the next level button wouldn't work, but that's only in full screen, outside of that it works.
Overall I really like this game and its a great game jam entry :D
Oh, thanks! I really wanna expand for more levels in the future! I will fix this error in the full screen mode, Thanks for letting me know.
Pretty nice. It’s original. I like it. Good ambiance. I wish it was a little longer. You should do the other levels you were talking about after the jam end.
Thanks! I really wanna work in more levels and features in the future.
