Do you know Astral Travel? Out-Of-Body-Experience (OBE)? No? Nevermind. This little game simulates the return journey of a bunch of astral bodies of a schizophrenic dude to his phisical body.
It's a little (minimal) action/puzzle game composed by 10 levels, with an amazing end-screen.
Made with Construct 2 (HTML5 format).
Enjoy!

Ha, this is a fun idea! Especially when all the bodies are radially arragned and move in an iris-shape :P
I like the controls, great idea :) Wish I would stop losing my purple guys off the edge of the screen :S
Good challenge, but it's hard to tell if the guys are moving forwards of backwards
Great overall! A couple of typos but a fun and challenging game that manages to stay true to the theme.
Really cool idea. Took me a while to figure out what "astral-call" (TM) actually does :)
This is a nice idea. quite surprising and difficult to control the first time, but i have a lot of fun. ^^
Level 1: Oh, I just hold up until they eventually get to the target
Level 2: Oh, I just arrange them into a neat row by smashin them into a screen border and then send them up all at once
Level 6: How do I do this?!?!
A really cool game!
Cool game! Sound was too loud, though (reduce audio by 10db in Construct, it helps a lot).
I went to level 6.
Quite cool but forward/backward was really weird sometimes (or is it just me?).
A little "Lose" would have been welcome when your spirits are lesser than the number of spirits you need ! lol
Didn't see I couldn't "win" after some time in the second map because of the trap :p
oh god this is really annoying. if you wanted to drive people crazy, well, you succeded.
anyway, a little hint: use shorter description. nobody wants to to read that much :P
Cool idea! :) Maybe you could differentiate the front from the back of the guy! :D
I dig this. The visuals don't seem to coherent despite clearly being inspired by the theme, which kinda distracts me at times.
Cool idea - was difficult to tell which way the astral bodies were facing sometimes, which was a little challenging. Maybe some astral faces are in order if you continue to develop it post competition. :)
Thank you. Now I commented all of you! (Sorry for my english)
Nice entry, a little bit confusing at first, but when you'll get used it's very enjoiable :D
I loved your game mechanics, simple and mighty.
The winning sound lifted my spirit :)
Really cool game mechanics! :D
Nice the "astral call" idea and how is implemented! :)
Good fun, but also difficult to control a bunch of units... great challenge, nice implementation,reminds me of "the burbs" ...
Awesome idea! Very hard to control, and green mine on green background are damn evil!

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Cool!
