*EDIT* Made jumping slightly easier and reduced gravity a bit. But it's difficult anyway ;)
HayHo,
before you play my game
I recommend to read the description,
in "Splitted" you are a person who has lost his soul.
He was splitted into two parts.
- His body (it is on the surface)
- His soul (it is beneath the surface)
You control the body and the soul AT THE SAME TIME
and you have to try to merge with your soul.
Controls:
- Movement: Left/Right Arrowkey
- Jump: Up Arrowkey
Important:
- Stone Bricks: Can be pushed by going against them
- Spears/Spikes: Will kill you and you have to restart
- The camera only follows your body, so if your soul
is out of the screen, you have lost!
This was my third LD and was really funny. I have learned
how useful Tilemaps are ;)
The game is short but hard to play :D
Maybe I'll continue the game and port it to Android.
Tools I have used:
- Programming: Construct 2
- Art: Assprite/Paint.NET
- Sounds: SFXR
- Music:
~ Rain/Thunder background sound from http://freesound.org
~ Game music made with Figure for iOS
- Fonts: All from http://dafont.com

I like the graphics and the mood, but pixel jumps are so hard to do correctly..
Very nice audiovisual presentation and a great concept. I feel like the jumping is WAAAAY too unforgiving though. Maybe I just suck but its very frustrating getting stuck when you know what you are supposed to do but can't get the precision timing and positioning right to actually make it through. Could have maybe used checkpoints or something.
I know jumping is a bit hard. The collision polygon aren't the best. I will look if I change the collision a bit.
Really col game :D
Pixel collision makes it a bit hard but the overall its really good.
Great graphics, and i have to concur with the people about the jump. Other than that. Really great job in just 2 days! :)
Pretty ok game, didnt take my interest for too long though. And yes, the jumps are way to hard to implement.
Really well polished game with nice art, but really hate the jumping.
Uploaded the updated version: Better jumping with slightly lower gravity ;)
ooh, it is pretty tough, I think im stuck on the 6,7th spike
Very challenging. I love the music, and the concept/mechanic is really fun!
i like it. for some reason it was using a lot of chrome's resources
Pretty difficult! I can't say that I haven't seen this idea before, but I love the way it's executed :D
This game is hard, but I think it fits the mood. Kind of dark and scary. The music is simple, but doesn't get annoying even though it loops very often. Good job!
That one jump is really hard, but I like this a lot! Great music too.
Enjoyed the music for this, also like the dual character mechanic a lot too. Tricky!!
I think the movement could be more polished, but is a good game with a good theme. Would love to play a polished game in this style
I really wanted to get farther into this game but jumping over some of the obstacles was almost impossible. Really cool art, nice concept, I think this just needs to be tweaked a bit to make it more playable.
Very challenging! I spent a good 30 minutes on it. Was pretty frustrated at first because the jump doesn't feel quite right, but I pulled through :D Game is well done!
Like the challenge of controlling two players at once, although the level design is a bit tight early on. Makes some jumps really difficult.
This is best way to use the theme so far.
But harder then f**king Dark Souls.
Nice job!
Cool concept, but man is the difficulty extreme. Maybe the hitboxes on the sprites should be a few pixels smaller.
Smaller hitboxes on hazards and a little more power in the jump would make this a lot less frustrating. Nice idea, though!
I only was able to get past a few spikes before gettingfrustrated at the low margin of error and quitting. I really want to play further since this looks like an awesome game, can you change the jump's 'hang time' or something?
I honestly tried to finish it, but it is not hard, it is CRAZY HARD. But what I've seen looks really promising. If just the jumping was a bit easier...
Really hard to play. I couldn't jump over even the first set of spikes :( Nice work though.
Great concept but too hard to be really enjoyable. You should make the player jump higher and give him some 3 life points cause permadeath is too frustrating.
Ok. I understand. This game not about beneath the surface but about pixel-hunting and precious jumping =)
Interesting idea, but very difficult. I think the body character at topside blends much too much with the background, making it very difficult to judge when to jump. It's hard enough with the attention split to judge exactly when I can safely jump in both worlds. Making the graphics somewhat larger would help, but you really need to improve contrast between the character and the background.
Nice atmosphere, concept, and graphics, but I have to agree with the others; the platforming is -painfully- touchy.
If you ever have the time, read through the "Sonic Physics Guide": http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_Physics_Guide
It's a little on the long/detailed side, but it's a great reference whenever you're implementing the jump/run controls of any platformer.
You don't have to copy the same "physics" of the Sonic series, but there's a lot of subtle tricks they use to make the run & jump -feel- a lot more "natural". I've never seen a better write-up on the subject.
Cheers!
Fun game but really unforgiving! I actually thought we would se more games like this, I had a similar idea from the start too.. you did it really well!

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.
Very cool game, I enjoyed playing it. I liked the puzzly elements and the overall graphical look of the game.
