Hahha, sorry for that. I just figured that more medals would inspire people to keep going, haha :D

Well, the gameplay concept is completely original at least. The idea is actually more than five years old! But at the time I only tried out game maker, and I was so disappointed that you couldn't export them in flash files, so I gave up entirely, haha :p
(Still, over those five years, a few games with similar concepts have come up, examplewise "Pretentious Game 4").

But in sense of athmosphere, my game is very inspired, by a few other games! Especially "The Company of Myself", "Depict1", "Loved" and a few other games.

The music is also isnpired from one of the themes in TCoM, which you can listen to here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N5HSHYu7Rg

I will probably still add more "story", to the game, in the form of short messages that will keep the game interesting.

Thanks for actually playing my game! TWICE!! :D

Yes, I've noticed that many have a difficult time with this level, if we're on the same page, at least. Actually, I think you're trying to beat it in the wrong way! For starters, if you continuously press jump several times, while still holding the arrow key which moves the character against the wall, you will "climb" the wall, as you might know.

I'f you're speaking about the level I think you're speaking about, here's how to do it! Although it's a bit difficult to explain...

Let's see... Think about friction. If one character is in the air, and the other one is on the ground, their movements will not be alike. If both characters move towards the same direction (left or right), but one is in the air, and you then stop pressing all the keys, which character will stop moving first? The answer is that the one in the air will keep moving longer than the one on the ground.

Because of this, you can beat that level. Just wall jump to the side with one character, and make sure the other one is on the ground, and then stop pressing all keys. If you did it right, the character in the air should fly over the one that stays on the ground, since the friction is stronger on the ground.

I hope this helped!

Good job, you managed to complete the game!
Hahha, yeah. I knew that that level would be tricky even before I got feedback. I figured it would be a different kind of challenge for people that were really set on completing the game.
And I must thank you, sir, for investing time and effort, not only into the game it self, but for not giving up and coming here to ask me when you got stuck, for which I must applaud you. Many people would just leave, and leave a low rating, so you deserve my humblest gratitude, for your review too, Dhall :'D

Again, I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and I respond to everything I receive, by nature, so there's no problem there! XD

Well, I know for sure it's possible, and not even that difficult WHEN you know how. It's simply difficult to explain properly. What I really should do, is record a tutorial or something. I just don't have any good recording software :p

I assure you, it's fully possible. If you've grasped the physics of the game, the friction and the movement (+ the fact that an airborne player cannot jump), you will easily be able to complete that puzzle. But I'm sorry that I simply cannot explain it in any better way, it's my bad.

Thanks for trying though, and for letting me know it's still difficult!

Hmm?

Ahh, okay XD
