The charm, humor, and creative exploits of shifting between parallel worlds will keep you riding well enough through this indie title. Even the story begins with enough intrigue and character personality to invest the player. Unfortunately, while shifting from moments of humor to somber morbidity in the latter half of the game, you grow tired of a narrative that feels the need to overcompensate. The game invests too much time trying to reach a dynamic altitude of emotions while mostly missing and dragging its heels along the way. At this point, the development of each character feels stagnant and underwhelming. The conclusion doesn't have much staying power and feels remotely unfinished/unrewarding. The gameplay and level design work well enough, but it's all pretty commonplace. The handful of levels where you lose your ability to shift between worlds are lacking in their execution. It's the game stripping you of some fun with boring puzzles and no abilities to entice creativity. On a positive note, the collectibles and hidden NPC moments are cute and well spread out. Also, the 8-bit artwork/design is solid, and there is legit anticipation for each chapter's feel. In the end I respected the developer's attempt and had some fun at the start with the mechanics and world building. Still, I don't have confidence I'll remember much about this title later down the road.
