The Void by BorderDestroyer
Note: Not only is this the first game that I have ever created, but it is also the first Game Jam I've ever participated in, specifically Ludum Dare 48, so it's more than likely not going to be the greatest. That being said I still ask that you be as critical as possible so that in the future I may be able to make something that actually plays well. I hope you enjoy none the less!
Controls:
WASD to Move

Description:
The world has slowly been taken over by the void, with the only way of stopping it is for one organism to plunge deeper into it, sealing it for good. The problem of the matter is that the world has become distorted, to the point where certain aspects can not be seen by the naked eye. You alone poses the ability to alternate between these perspectives, making you the only one able to seal the void for good.

Incredible work for a first game or even if it wasn't your first game and for a game jam no less! Well done pat yourself on the back!
Agree with some other comments about checkpoints, it's frustrating to start all the way back at the beginning when I fumble a jump, but execution was decent otherwise, good concept, fit the theme, relaxing but spooky music. Good work overall!
In any case, congrats are in order, you absolutely hit it out the f'n park with this one, for being your first game. Kudos!
Overal a great game! Looking forward for further development
There is a part after a few levels when you jump up right to that moving platform which goes to the left as you stand on it, and when you fall from it (fell twice, not sure what I'm supposed to do there as in both dimensions there is an obstacle there) never seems to come back making you stuck (I think), that made me stopped playing, as restarting the level and getting back there takes some effort.
But it is a cool concept and main character is cute.
