Description

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.

Notes

The original jam version with 6 stages was made in less than 17 hours for Utah Indie Game Jam 2023 and released under the title Reality's Off by 52 Pixels on November 12, 2023; it is preserved here for so there's a record of jam submissions.  The 1.1 version was released the following day, November 13, with additional polish, 4 more stages, and its current title.
