Dualspace v1.5: Before the Fracture

This is a great game. I dont play puzzle games a lot of im unexperienced when it comes to this game.

Never have I ever seen an open world puzzle game XD Unique and nice to see

I do think the world is a bit too bright so it’s a pain to see but the space shift is a clean mechanic, adds a lot more to the world and puzzle opportunities.

Only problem with this is direction on what to do and where to go. You usually play puzzles in a sequence and never lose your rhythm. Here the open world is its flaw kind of because you can lose your rhythm easily. Now this can be an unexperienced player thing as I don’t play a lot of games in this genre.

The bright and dark combo is great mechanic wise but the lack of colors is kind of making it dull for me visually as in many cases u would be staring at the white. Dark is not that bad.

The visual feedback is great. Am confused about the choice of screen size. Why is it in a square aspect ratio? Could it be you are trying to imitate the early 2000s or late 90s square TVs/handheld consoles? Maybe.

It’s a great game but hard to judge for me.

I played the game! First of all, the universe-changing mechanic was quite interesting at the beginning, but after a while I felt that it started becoming repetitive and the possibilities of what could be done with the mechanic felt a bit limited.

For a game like this, trying an open-world approach was a really nice idea. However, after progressing for a while, I got a bit lost and had trouble understanding where I should go next. If the world gets filled with more content and points of interest, I think this system could offer many more interesting experiences.

On the audio side, there was one sound effect that I couldn't really understand when it was triggered and it became a bit tiring to listen to. I think it might be the looping SFX that plays for a while after picking up the key. Other than that, I think the overall music and sound effects were quite good.

Visually, the game looks great. The drawings and overall atmosphere are really nice. However, I felt that the feedback when interacting with things was a bit lacking. For example, instead of a direct transition when changing universes, a smoother transition with additional character movement effects, particles, or other visual feedback could make the experience feel much more polished.

I haven't played many games in this genre, so unfortunately my feedback might be a bit general :D But overall, I think there are some really interesting ideas here. Good luck with the development!

Very good game, I love it!

This is simple but really nice game.

Great game! I really liked the puzzles, made  me think for a bit there lol I like the simplicity and focus on the gameplay. Good job!

I'm not good at puzzle! but I can see you're trying to make the game easy to understand!

Awesome game. Reminds me of the games I used to play on my Chromebook when I was in school. Boxes getting stuck in corners is kind of annoying, but apart from that the game is really fun.

Great asset pack! And smart use of the icons! My opinion: The best of game I've ever seen on itch.io that is indie.(by what I meant indie is games that are not released by company or official organization that has large influence and is popular on other professional platforms like steam). Also, I am very happy this full game is free! And gives me a free asset pack

Itch the best!

Very cool concept, remind me of Twilight Princess. Also seems like it would take a long time to 100% it, so that s awesome! :)
