"Yahoo! GeoCities This page is not available."

"The page cannot be found" (For the pic)

I'd give feedback if I could play it.

you have to copy the address and paste it into the address bar. Geocities wont let people link to their website. I forgot to mention that.

Thats really neat. It took me a while to figure out how it works. I wish I had more time to mess around with it. Here is my feedback:
I have no problem with the death on dimension change, but the character sometimes seems to get him/her/itself stuck inside walls while falling or just walking around. Then he dies. That just sucks.
The BGM seems to have a short loop and could get annoying after a while.

Concept is nice, should be polished a bit (a bit too annoying that you get stuck on places when switching dimensions), sound is awful (sorry, it really is!)

thanks for the replies.

I fixed the bug where the character dies when he isnt suppost to. My collision againts the map was off by a few pixels.

As for the music, i havent finished writing all of it yet. I like the sound... i'll see what other peple think. If enough peple dislike it i'll change it.

And as for getting stuck in the dimensions that is part of the game. It will be explained better in the final version. The game is a puzzle type game and you have to know where to switch dimensions to get around.

I'll keep checking here to see what other people think.

I like the concept it's really interesting. I think you have a good concept going and should improve it. Maybe have moving platforms to try to align yourself on. Movable blocks, explodable blocks. The ability to create a platform and then switch to the other dimention then jumping on it it etc.

I think if you stepped up the gameplay even more it would become more fun to play.

The sound as you said wasn't finished. I think it is a bit annoying at the moment. I would suggest having 2-3 tracks for different levels.

It's looking great keep on improving it.
