HARD! I had to quit but it's pretty cool. Nice job.
Its hard, but i like the art, as well as the clever feature. GOod job!
Pretty clever feature, and I love the art!
Excellent concept and level design. I think the jump physics could be improved, though.
Find it a little hard in the beginning, but it's a very nice job in overall.
Thank you guys! But could you explain me why the game seems hard?
I didn't have any unusual problems figuring it out (unusual for a puzzle game, I mean). I was never really stuck. But this visual/spatial thinking is kind of up my alley. Either way, very clever mechanic & implementation.
I like this game. It is a bit challenging, but in a good way. Also, the graphics are great!
Crap, why did I press D?
Pretty hard, but it looks and plays great. Wish there had been some sounds or music though.
Really enjoyable game with a lot of depth, built on a simple mechanic - level design must have been hard :)
This was one of the first entry games I played.. very well done, set the bar high! :D
I love the top hat guy. It's really a clever concept and nicely implemented. The only thing missing for me was sound and music. Great work!
Very good game. Nice idea using mirrors. Some of the puzzles were quite difficult and i really missed some music, it's sad to play in silence hehehe. It may also use a bit of intro.
Very nice and consistent graphicstyle. Gameplay is fun but it could be harder.

Great game! Solid controls in my opinion! I really liked the graphical style and the gameplay mechanics. I played through the whole game and it did have some pretty tricky spots. Too bad it didn't have any sound, I think it would have completed the game and helped a lot with the mood and setting. One thing that put me off was the "curse" words on the first level where you use mirrors. Not that I don't curse haha, but I just thought that with the player being a gentleman with a top hat set in a whimsical world it just didn't add anything to the feel of the game, and perhaps it worked a bit against it. Other than that it's a solid game with interesting and challenging gameplay!
Thank you guys for the feedback!

I wrote these monologues in an hour before the deadline, so they express my mood :)
I pressed "D"... I like this concept! Definitely some good puzzles. Thanks for sharing!
Wow. Brilliant mechanic but absurdly hard. I have no idea why it's so hard. It's just like my mind doesn't work that way.
Nice. Love the mechanic. Simple yet hard enough to get the player stumped occasionally. I had fun playing it and hope that "To be continued" means future releases.

Amazing game!
I really love the creative and innovative mechanic as well as the quirky and witty instructions! Top notch work!
Excellent mechanic! Wish there was some sort of music though.
Hi man! Great game! I really love it!
Awesome idea and visual style!
I couldn't figure out the level with the two blue blocks, but aside from that this game is AWESOME. Great concept, gorgeous art. Fantastic.
I got really frustrated with the jump physics though (especially not being able to jump when pressed up against a wall). A little more polish though and this would be killer :)
Amazing mechanic. Only issues I had were some problems jumping right at the edge of a block (felt like if I wasn't COMPLETELY on the block it wouldn't jump?).
Challenge level felt right to me, but I made a puzzle-platformer too, so maybe it's on the harder side.
Wish you could remove mirrors without touching them, but I realise that'd break most of the level designs.
GREAT job foreshadowing the last puzzle, by the way. Don't want to spoil it for everyone else, but it was clearly a decision, and worked.

Thank you, gritfish! Yeah, I know this bug.. And unfortunately dunno how to fix it, because it goes from flixel.
Download link doesn't work for me :(
Ah, a tricky one! The mirror feature is pretty cool however, makes for some interesting puzzels. Loved the bit where he said 'please dont press D', shortly after Id already pressed it and worked out it was for debugging the character death or something XD
The idea es great, the art is very cool (although I'd like the character have more animations). Made me wonder how it will feel with sound. Maybe a visual aid or tutorial on how you can combine or match the mirrors would be great, because there was a point in which I was just randomly jumping and trying luck. But just as it is I can totally see it in the future as an AppStore game or something like that. Overall looks really taken care of, the color palette is really attractive and sets a really nice mood. And the character is simply adorable. Hope to see more of this!
OMG this is an awesome idea!
Nice presentation and polish, pretty graphics. Very interesting mechanic!
The first time I played the last level I got stuck and accidentally completed it without understanding it first. Maybe you could help the player to get the insight of how to solve it easier somehow. The concept used there was just demonstrated once before early in the game.
There was a few glitches where the mirror would become unsynced or the "mirror of a mirror" would not disappear when I removed the first mirror (this was in the last level).
But those are just nitpicks, great job!
Thank you, Danik! I waited until someone notices this glitch :D
I really liked the mirror gimmick!
Awesome mechanic, execution and polish.
Brilliant mechanic and very polished game! Just add Sound and Music and it will be perfect!
Absolutely magnificent. 'nuff said. =)
Pretty cool concept.
Very nice! Try adding some quick sound next time; it hardly takes any time nowadays with tools like bfxr/sfxr/labchirp/etc. :)
Nice puzzles and original mechanic. Graphics are another strong aspect in this game.
I finished the game but the truth is I mostly did it by trial error rather than thinking :P
Next step: adding sounds and music.
Good job :)
LOVE the graphics
Holy Crap! That might be the coolest puzzle game ever!
You have to continue with this!
