Kamal

Made in one week by students who didn’t know eachother, Kamal is a first place price winning platformer with a unique twist. At first Kamal appears to be a standard platformer. But when you get in the posession of a golden ViewMaster, made by the gods, you see the world in a whole different perspective. By pausing the game and moving the camera you can parallax different layers of the same level.

At one point in the game the player tries to jump over a gap filled with spikes. During the jump the plaer realizes that the gap is too large to jump over. Right before he hit the spikes the player pauses the game, parallax the ledge closer to him, so that the cap appears to be smaller. When the player unpauses the game the optical trick became reality and the player jumped over the gap.
