Phase Shift by otresnjak
Try to escape the city where while avoiding the blast wave! You can shift between two dimensions, each with a different set of buildings, to avoid obstacles.
Use the arrow keys to move and the spacebar to shift between dimensions. Press escape to quit!
There are four levels of ascending difficulty. (You can keep playing past level 4 but the difficulty won't increase further.)
Written in C++ using DirectX 11 and FMOD. "Graphics" are mostly procedural with a little help from Photoshop. Music and sound made with Ableton Live and Audition.
Compatibility notes:
- Requires Windows 7 or 8.
- The game runs in a 1280x720 window. If your screen resolution is lower than that--first of all, greetings, time traveler from the 90s! Second, the game won't fit your screen. Sorry!

:(
Not rating this game due to it being unplayable for me.
It'd be a bit more accessible if you didn't start at the beginning each time you got destroyed.
I loved the music too.
My only criticism is that the level generation felt too arbitrary. I could get a level 2 that I could just walk forward and or I could get one where I'd get blocked by both dimensions in a big area.
FYI, it's rather unfriendly to have no way to readjust the game's window resolution, especially since it's quite higher than average. Be courteous, even for those from the 90s!
