This is the second game I've worked on, but I couldn't have done it without the support of everyone who helped, scroll down or check out the credits at the end. Much of the development was streamed Live on Twitch.

Now that that's out of the way, let's begin.
A journey through the dimensions from dimension zero to the third dimension.

To jump press the
Instead of dash-jumping you press once to jump into the screen to the next slice of blocks. The end goal is in one of the blocks, further ahead, so look out for it.
Watch out for the enemies, while they can't jump they can communicate your location to each other.
This is all set to an original soundtrack.
