Divided by TeamInk

[raw]
made by TeamInk for LD22 (JAM)
Well, we worked until the last few minutes to get this done. It's a short but sweet game and I think we're mostly happy with how it turned out.

Divided is a short puzzle platformer with 11 levels for you to enjoy. You play as a character named Ink, working as you try to escape each room and remove him from the clutches of the mysterious "other person" he talks about.

You control both Ink and his shadow at the same time, so you'll have to get creative to solve some of the puzzles you'll come across. Keep in mind that the placement of your character means everything in this game.

There's bound to be some glitches as there are with most of the games here. To remedy any glitches in the game, we have a reset button for each level.

Here are the controls:

Right and Left: Move
Up: Enter Doors
Space: Jump
Enter: Select
R: Reset Level

Note: This game also supports gamepads!

We hope that you enjoy our game, we worked pretty hard on it and hope you have as much fun with it as we did making it!

[Edit] - If the game crashes for you, try the "Windows - Minimal" version. The minimal version doesn't load all of the level text overlay pictures at once.

@TeamEpsilon
Did the game crash after opening it, or whenever entering the "PLAY GAME" door?

We're working on a fix, just hang tight. We might have found the problem.

We released a minimal version that should fix all your problems.

Good game, but the last lvl was kinda hard.

I really liked the graphics style. The music was good. I like the concept. With more refined levels you'd have a solid game on your hands!

Keep up the great work.

It's clever and wonderful. Unfortunately, I suck at it (or is it a bit too hard ?) I can't even pass the level 2 (or 3...)

Very fun game, worked great for me. The last level was challenging but not too difficult. Well done!

HahaHA! I loved the ending, seriously. Really clever twist there. :D
But on the critical side, the way the white guy fell through the floor, but not the black guy, was really weird and just confusing. And the falling blocks were a pain more then a pleasure, unfortunately.
But overall a fun game. I'd give it a thumbs up.

This is amazing, one of the best ive seen, the difficulty on the last level let it down for me!

Very nice! Loved graphics, idea, audio and mood. Reminds me of "The Company Of Myself" somehow...

TRICKY TRICKY TRICKY STUFF! Good puzzles. Takes skill AND brains to do this stuff. Good work on the aesthetics as well.

Very nice! graphics, audio, a compelling idea, good atmosphere.

Needs a /little/ bit of work - it wasn't obvious that spikes kill you, for instance, but other than that, some nice puzzles in a nice game, well done :).

The concept is quite interesting, and I believe this game could be more fun, but the levels, specially the first ones, that should introduce the gameplay mechanics, are too hard! Still, I'm interested in playing a more balanced version in the future.

I can't pass level 2.

Is it intentional that the two characters become out of sync horizontally. It makes it seem kind of buggy that you can lose because the white guy misses your feet.

I guess the rules are a bit unclear... like why can you always stand on the ground but the white guy falls through it.

I love the style and the music. This could turn into something quite astounding.
