Parallel Problems
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Professor Ambrose Patovich is researching parallel realities. His experiments with opening a doorway between this reality and another have thus far been frustrated.
But his most recent experiment was more successful than it seemed! Now, at will, he can shift between this reality and another that is exactly like it, only offset by about fifty-two inches.
Controls

This is a neat little game that explores its concept rather well, I'd just request that if you were to ever revisit it to consider adding some sort of indication which dimension you are currently in as apparently my brain simply can't keep it straight >_>
This was really cute! Nice job, love a cute puzzle-y platformer that bends my brain in a new way.
Played it and liked it - a nice, difficult little jump'n run puzzle game! :)
