That was pretty interesting and sucked me in! Unfortunately, I seemed to keep dying on random tiles?! I couldn't figure out if it was a border of going to the right (ran out of oil?) or using up too many moves; I think it might have been a bug or an invisible spider as it almost seemed to be at random... but I can't be sure. Fun play!
Interesting idea, the character kept disappearing at the beginning but would re-appear after another key press.
At first I wasn't sure about it. However I started to find it pretty engaging and I was enjoying myself with it... but then my rock got stuck and I couldn't pass the river :/
Nice and fun. Caught the kitty but then what? What's the goal? Like the music. How about adding some sound effects (walking, bumping against wall, catching kitty, changing worlds etc.)
Unfortunately I can't see the walls so it's kinda hard to play :/

Seems to work pretty well, nice visuals. Constantly pressing keys to move single tile at the time gets little tiring after a while, and it seems like I keep dying on random tiles? Not very intuitive.
I too managed to get my rock stuck. But the atmosphere's great! I think I'm spoiled by stupid horror movies and games and was expecting a jump scare at every moment. The music only added to that. The text would've been easier to read if it weren't the full width of the screen. Great little title all in all, I like it.
Dark days indeed, in more ways than one it would seem. Pretty nice and simple puzzle game, could've used some more animations. The existing animations could also have been a bit more fluid. Also I spawned on top of a spider once when using a portal, not nice.

Love the audiovisuals and atmosphere in the game :) Nice use of lighting effects also.
I couldn't beat it because spiders kept lurking around my spawn point, but I had fun while it lasted!
That was surprisingly engrossing for a maze game... And I don't usually like maze games! The atmosphere was great, starting out pretty neutral but slowly swerving into creepy territory. I enjoyed the part where you had to avoid spiders by switching between the worlds as well.
Pretty interesting premise. Felt a bit linear as I just kind of pushed to the right and seemed to pick up what I needed and get through the maze without too much thought. The mood was great though and I can see this built into something really intriguing!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
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.
Woah, I seriously can't believe how good that was.
After seeing that this was a maze game I tought this was going to be pretty bad.... but it wasn't!
The story feels really great and the use of the two worlds is really good. I won't spoil here in the comments, but the game was really good :)
