Strange Atmosphere
This is a short 3D platformer I originally made for the Low Effort Jam. I've made major updates since.
If you're playing in the browser make sure to enable fullscreen and click once to lock the cursor (important for the camera view). Just press Escape to leave fullscreen / unlock the cursor.
If the camera doesn't feel right for you, there are a few settings in the pause menu that might help (Tab or Escape to pause).

Hi, I played the web version for a bit. The first level isn't bad. The second level is alright, but it took a little bit to figure out how to get across things. The third level, though, was where I stopped. It took me a little bit to figure out how to get across things, I got onto the first platform that was moving across, looked around and couldn't figure out where the heck I was supposed to go. It was a bit disorienting with the background and the blocks moving around, but not seeing which way I was supposed to go.
Ehi, didn't play it during the jam. here some Feedback if you are open to that (from the webgl version) outside the jam:
1) The camera controller is frustrating, expecially when you need to look to elements that are in the opposite direction. When you need to jump to platfomrs that make like a circle that becomes really frustrating.
2) The game overall is hard. You die very easily (as intended i suppose). Problem is, when you introduce new mechanic, those should be played in a safe environment. Level 2 with the moving wall was a lot frustrating to me (i reached level 3 and ragequitted there).
Overall nice game for a 2 days game jam, considering also the jam. Really nice step movement with a capsule. Cheers.
Thanks for the feedback :)
For the overall difficulty, it's good to know, I've playtested it so much I had trouble to gauge the difficulty.
As for the problems with the camera, was it too slow or unresponsive ? Would a mouse sensitivity slider help with that ?
I had the same issue with the camera. I dont think a sensitivity bar would help because the camera just feels slow to accelerate. The skybox was quite disorienting. maybe having a clear box around the levels would help.
Not too bad! ... which in the context of this jam is bad though
