Superdimensional by PixelMind

[raw]
made by PixelMind for LD30 (COMPO)
Welcome to Superdimensional!

Unity web player version highly recommended.


Controls:
- This is almost buttonless game. Use your mouse to interact.
- You may need to click the button on the left right corner if you get stuck.

The game was optimized for wide resolutions. If you play the Windows or Linux build then it is recommended to use wide monitor resolution. Some parts of the game may be difficult with tall resolutions.

Sorry about the spelling in the tutorial. My brain didn't function properly after 16 hours of non-stop coding :)

I've switched host to itch.io. The old link is still alive but it might die if there is too much traffic to it. Please link to itch.io instead of the old one.

Concept was great, very polished and purty. I had a bit of a hard time with the mouse, seemed to be fighting with it. Epic entry though gj.

Thanks for comments! :)

Yeah I agree with you Stuffie.
I noticed via playtesting today that many testers tried to keep the mouse on top of those teleports which I didn't anticipate. It makes the game much more difficult to play.

I should have made an effort to teach players to use the portals more like tight light beams. That way you can see the world outside and you don't have to make effort to keep mouse on top of each portal.

Live and learn I guess :)
I may make a more fleshed out post LD version later and try to fix that. Many ideas didn't make it to the final version.

HOW IN THE SEVEN WORLDS. 2 DAYS!? You're on a whole new level dude! 5/5 would buy.

That was awesome. Loved the concept and the rich atmosphere.

Had some trouble positioning the mouse to project the correct world at times, but that was part of the fresh experience :)

Would love to see more of this game.

@AlexGhost and @Arowx,
The code is a mess. You've been warned! :)

But if really want to take a look at the source then I'd imagine you'd probably be mostly interested in Lightmesh.cs, World.cs, Target.cs and Light.shader files.
Those are responsible of the world rendering and physics handling. The Unity scene's camera setup is also important.

That shader is slightly edited from Unity public wiki over here: http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/DepthMask

Definitely my favorite game from this LD so far! Very original and I've already recommended it to a few people. I'd love to see a longer fully fleshed game from it :) Congratulations!

Really, really good game. I loved it. I like how the world-transition stuff is like light beams.
IAmSpencer
27. Aug 2014 · 06:12 UTC
That was amazing. Never have I ever had so much fun with so little 'interaction', really well done. Also nicely done on preventing 'stuck' situations (for instance near the end, I thought I had gotten stuck where it says '30' but then I saw I could swim and free myself which was nice) that's some good level design, excellent job, hope to see a full game out of this! :)

Very atmospheric! Probably a bit too slow movement. Maybe add little more acceleration.

27. Aug 2014 · 17:45 UTC
I have no words to describe this project, its insane and probably one of the best games i've played during this ludum at the moment, the way you switch between dimensions, the level design, the atmosphere. Everything's perfect, don't give up and keep working on it !

At first I thought this is Jam entry but no... man, this is incredible! Good job.

I wonder how did you managed to get all done in 48hrs... I think it must all be skill, preparation, planning and time management :D

Really great use of the theme! Graphics and audio were solid as well. I think the controls were a little touchy and could use some smoothing out, though.

Holy cow that was amazing. The reverse controls was confusing at first, but then you start to get the hang of it. Really great work!

It was interesting, but also horribly confusing at times (especially the first part with the squishing machines was really hard for me). Neat game though, good job!

Excellent. Fantastic use of colour, highly unique mechanic, simple input very well executed and an fair difficulty curve. Easily a 5/5! :D
GrooveMan

The idea is absolutely incredible, if at times a touch fiddly in execution. The subtle changes in background hum with the different realities was particularly nice.
Otrora Games
29. Aug 2014 · 05:31 UTC
It can get pretty hard after the tutorial part and with no much to do apart from changing the view can get a little slow too. But it's a great idea and very polished entry. With some adjustments at the controls you'll have a very nice and innovative game at your hands.

One of the best entries by far, really unique gameplay and stunning visuals.
However I got stuck under a ledge in both worlds!
Restart!

Loved it though, really inspirational work

Very cool game who fit with the theme ! I love the fact that the switching between worlds wasn't a one button switching. You had to be precise even if it's a little bit frustrating.

I couldn't quite make it all the way to the end, I wasn't super good at figuring out where to move the mouse.

One of the best theme-based games that I've played so far!

Great idea , and very polished game. I find the control too unpredictable , but with a bit of work this could be a very very fun game :D

Wow, just wow. Clever, innovative and very well executed. The only entry where I'm 5 stars all around. Hats off to you! As I was playing it I was wondering in the back of my mind how many people were in this jam team - the fact that it's a compo entry makes this even more amazing!

amazing game, I'd be surprised if this didn't end up top of the charts. mouse control was a bit fiddly. I imagine it would work better with a joypad. you would probably sell a lot on console

Thanks everyone! You guys are awesome! :)
It's been really great to have this many commenters. Got some great feedback too which is even more awesome!

@AlexandreSzybiak: You're right! They were quite a pain to design. It did help a little that I laid the "worlds" on top of each other in Unity. It was quite a nightmare at times to work with though. Far from ideal for any larger project :)

Mind blown... This is the kind of stuff that i knew i have been missing out from games. The kind of stuff i knew i would ever get from releases worth over 40 or 30 dollars. F### triple A games, most of them just plainly s###. Dull and non inventive bringing the same old thing over and over swearing its new but it isnt. Thank you I had a great experience.
