Overall a good puzzle game! Mirror controls felt a bit weird.

Really entertaining game. The collision seemed a bit off, but other than that, great game.

Yeah I liked it too, but the mirrored controls were weird.

The first time I opened it, I wasn't able to click. The second time I played for a few levels and had fun. Good job.

Nice work! I made something with some similar ideas, except in 3D. I like that yours is tile based movement, it makes for some interesting situations.

Had a lot of fun with this one! The difficulty curve on the last set of levels was off, though. They all seemed really easy compared to the third set.

Best game I've played so far. Made me sit and think. I originally wanted to do a puzzle game, so its nice to see other's managed. :)

The flipping of the controls was really frustrating at first but it was a fun puzzle game. Great graphics!

Extremely nice. One of the best I've played today. I made it about half way through before the difficulty overcame my patience. This isn't really my taste in genres, but I can respect a great game regardless.

The music fits well and adds to the trance like game play. Good art as well.

Overall a really well packaged game. I enjoyed it!

Great work! Loved the simple art direction and puzzles. I would love for the controls to directly control the left screen, rather than having them swapped.

Could we get a Linux build, please?

Hi Pitzixk4. I'll put up a Linux standalone build in few hours, as well as standalones for Windows and Mac. I'll drop you a comment on your game's page when they are up.

Very nice artstyle, very intuitive game with a nice mood, although the sound when you can't switch worlds kind of breaks it.

Interesting puzzle game. Controls took a while to get used to so I focused on the right side of the screen first and that made it easier.

Nice puzzle game. I think it would help if the first level you weren't surrounded by walls. That way when you press an arrow key you see how the blocks move. At first I couldn't get anything to move with arrows because I was looking at the left screen and pressing up/w but it was the right screen that moves normally.
