The Worlds Beneath by jugglerrob
A simple platformer where you explore the worlds beneath.
Controls:
wasd or arrow keys to move and jump
space to jump
"M" to mute the music
"N" to mute the sound
Every single sound effect was made with a trombone!
Based on the quote by David Lynch
"I learned that just beneath the surface there's another world, and still different worlds as you dig deeper. I knew it as a kid, but I couldn't find the proof. It was just a kind of feeling. There is goodness in blue skies and flowers, but another force--a wild pain and decay--also accompanies everything."

still disappointed I couldn't see the world's beneath
I actually didn't get to finish it because it was progressing so slow. But it was fun nonetheless!
Other than that, I really liked it! The controls were slick, the game felt polished. I like the slanty change-up to the platforming!
Nice work.

I wasn't exactly trying to say anything. I was trying to create more of a feeling/mood like 5T4Mp5 said, but I do like your interpretation. I kept the story kind of minimal and open to allow people to interpret it their own ways.
So I really REALLY like this game!
Joke with height of map is good but if you repeat the joke it become stupid. If you repeat it twise it became annoying.
Also some text unreadable.
P.S. 4-th level :: OH, WHAT WITH MY EYES!!!!
Sorry you didn't like the game :(
I was trying to show simillarities between the worlds by creating simillar dialog. Maybe I shouldn't have gone that route though.
I'm not an artist but I didn't think level 4 was THAT bad :(
The atmosphere is actually what I was going for. I'm glad it kept you playing. Don't worry, there isn't a second ending.
The level design of the first level was good, but the other levels had some really frustrating parts: falling down and need to walk all the way back, something which looks like stairs, but leads to a wall you can't pass ...
The audio was really good as well as the look of the first level.
I feel that the platforming could benefit from having a dynamic jump height, determined but how long the space key is pressed i.e the shorter the amount of time the key is pressed, the shorter the jump height.
Other than that, a well presented effort :)
