The Veiled World by panurge
Can YOU help defend the kingdom from the horrors that await in THE VEILED WORLD? Will YOU be able to do it without killing any gnomes? The answers are YES and MAYBE.
The Veiled World is a platformer/shooter with light jumping puzzles involving the ability to switch between two worlds at will. There are four playable characters with different weapons and play styles.
As an incentive for playing, the game will rate your ability and assign you your own personalised spirit animal upon completion. :)
TIPS:
- Stone platforms exist in both worlds.
- Make sure your own weapons don't bounce back at you.
- Switch back quickly to get out of trouble.
- Try not to kill any gnomes. They're not bothering anyone.
TRIVIA:
- The game was made in Construct 2.
- All sound effects were made by me either using my mouth or objects within immediate reach of my comfortable desk chair. The one exception is the birdsong, made by local birds but recorded by me.
- All the art was done using Sprite Something, an app for iPad which allows me to still be productive while lying in bed, using the toilet or partying hard with friends (actually, that last one is a lie).
- The mac and linux builds are untested. If anyone does try them, feedback on any bugs would be appreciated.
Thanks for playing!

I think I upped the twitch factor of the controls too far because I was playing the game so much yesterday that it became deceptively easy for me. If I do a post-jam version, I'll definitely bring them down again.
@mrspeaker - I was hoping someone would notice that! :)
You did a good job in balancing the four characters which leads to unique gameplay for each one.
Special prize for the mouth-made SFX, they are great.
I will not mention 'Humor' since it's a high value constant in your LD entries, but my favorite rank and totem are "0! sexy bear".
I'll be back for more tomorrow, for I am soresoreserous.
Ended up getting paladin, cheerful rooster with the Ranger. Impressive entry definitely one of my favourites so far, will have to come back and play more.
Liked the game mechanics a lot, but it's a bit frustrating since the acceleration in-air is too sensitive and I usually fail on jumping at the platforms, maybe it's just me that i'm pretty bad on this haha
anyway good job mate!
But when I press the up arrow key all enemys float up in the air. Could be a bug or maybe a magic spell or something. Who knows, right?
I knew already that I'm going to like this.
Well done sir, had lots of fun!
Managed to beat it as the ranger, died as everyone else :D
Well done! :)
The camera is a little shakey, which annoyed me, but I had fun.
