How cool!

Really weird but minimalistic art style. Controls are bit restrictive, would be nice to move diagonally. :) Maybe start off with a quest/story to keep give people more of a purpose.

It's very hard to understand, i find 2 "purple switchs" then...i don't know what to do !

Pretty decent. I like the block style of graphics, but I wish your character was also in a sprite. As someone else said diagonal movement would be nice. Also, in the 2nd screen I got stuck above the tracks. Is that supposed to happen?

Thanks for your comments guys!

@EdoMiyamoto the purple blocks are pieces, not the switch, there's only one switch in that level (also has a different sound) To make progress, follow the pavement (brow blocks) end of any level is always on the right side.

@Leginar Player wasn't made out of blocks because I was afraid it might get invisible because it looked to much like the background. You are not supposed to get stuck(although I know there are some issues with collision).

HTML5 versions is coming later today!

I started off confused, and never got any less confused, but I think I enjoyed being confused. Also your playable character was very cute.

Interesting game. I appreciated that, with the exception of the first switch, the player's progress is never impeded. I was very confused for some time, and even now after having completed it, I think I'm still confused.

There are two classes of findable objects in the game. Invisible ones and purple ones. I don't know what unique properties belong to each, nor what the consequences of finding them are. I had four visible pieces at the end of the game, so I guess all of them were pieces? If so, I don't know how I feel about searching the world for invisible blocks. Strikes me as a bit unfair to ask that of the player.

I agree, it would be nice to move diagonally. It was pretty hard to understand what to do...
