What a great idea, very original. The way the levels ease you into the idea is great. Visuals are very soothing.

What a great idea, very original. The way the levels ease you into the idea is great. Visuals are very soothing.
I feel like this really needs some sound.
first glance was... not another platformer, but your color change game mechanic and art is very good! Pleasantly surprised.
Really awesome idea, I love how such a simple mechanic can make you stop to have to think about the puzzle. Nice work!
Great game! very smart design and vfx!
Very nice visuals, an interesting game mechanic, and the level transitions were just great. Good job, sir.
Excellent! All this one needs is a cheerful soundtrack =)
Genius. A pretty, deceptively hard, puzzle game.
Great game, smart and addictive.
That was a cool concept and nicely executed, most of the puzzles were trickier than I first realized and I really liked that.
Very nice idea! Sometimes confusing to keep in mind what color you are.
This is absolutely fantastic, great work! Zip is such a great little character for having so few pixels :3
Nice idea and clever puzzles :)
Really good idea. I liked it initially, but at the level with the many colors (3rd screenshot) my colorblindness kicked in. I could hardly tell the difference between the purple and blue rectangles! Couldn't finish that level because of it, but still a great experience.
Awesome concept and execution- gets fairly difficult as well in the later levels!
Amazing transition effect between levels. I really like it!
really good concept.. missed some audio abit tho.. great overall ..super smooth circles :)
Really excellent game, really inspirational to see ideas like this... soaking up colour from the environment... to walk through walls! Zip is awesome :D
This is a great variation of color changing platforming. Your graphical style and level design are very good.
Tip for HTML5: make sure to override default actions when using keyboard input. WASD may not seem like it warrants dedicated input handling, but remember ctrl+w/s/d are all common browser hotkeys.
I like this visual style a lot - the novas especially.
Amazing! Great idea, well executed. Lots of 5 stars. Your level designs are wonderful.
The only thing I'd add is some nice mood music, some slight tweaks to the jumping mechanics, and even more levels!
Puzzle game with a clever color twist! Great potential!!
Greate idea! Please turn this into a full game!!
Mind bending, though I play it mostly semi-random.
Excellent! Original, on theme, works, fun. Excellent.
Wow, that's awesome, everything's great, from the animations to the concept, it's dead simple yet deep. Great job!
GENIUS, perfect, and very nice graphics. Best game so far!
Yeah, I agree with my fellow LD'ers (the last two), best so far! Well, just missing a bit of sound
I pretty like the in-game credits in the end.
Wow. Very well done.
Amazing. This is just a great game :-)
Great idea, really nice mechanic.
A very cool game. Want more levels, and gameplay extrapolations!
The first thing that really impressed me was the level change effects. But then as I got more into the game the level design really stood out too. I think of all the "change colors / things you can pass through" games I've played this LD yours is definitely the best.
Excellent graphic effects and transitions. Mechanic was really interesting. Sometimes it's hard to see what color Zip is.
Great...just great. Personally, I would love to see that gameplay take a little deep/change as you progress and play this game with a bit of music!
there's some serious potential in this, you should develop it further
really nice puzzler
It's very clever
Amazing game, well made. I think the mechanics are super tight.
Love this game. However, im pretty sure ive seen a similar mechanic in one the entries. Granted your take on it more fleshed out and your puzzles way more devious. All in all, its a create game.
Fantastic game! I even had to complete the "Game Over" and "Play again" levels :D
Very cool. The only thing I'd add would be a touch of sound and music - with a game this polished and complete, the silence is more jarring. That's a minor quibble though; the difficulty was spot on, and you managed enough content to really show off the idea - hard to do in 48 hours! Nicely done!
Very nice. Reminded me of my own entry ;)
Great level design. As everytime, great creation. Two things you can optimize. 1- It’s hard to see the different between blue and purple (but it’s perhaps my eyes) 2- I think the level aren’t in order of difficulty.
Nice idea.
I loved it! You managed to get something original out of a platformer.
Nice idea, and it controls well. A few minor issues:
I struggled a little with colour-blindness, but apparently mine isn't as bad as FrozenCow's - it was only a problem on the second screenshot below the main one, between the blue and purple in there, and I managed it by trial and error.
I don't quite understand why there are two more levels once I've been told I've won. Kind of weird.
The fade in effect is really slow on my browser, which gets annoying (Firefox 20 on Linux with integrated graphics).
Great work! Awesome level design and progression. Controls are just right. One would think that having the background and the obstacles as the same thing would be confusing, but you managed to pull it off successfully.
Keep it up!
I liked the color changing idea. Well done!
Nice idea and good levels, really fun to play.
BTW, I found your game via reddit, and I had a hard time to find it here (I guess searching 'zip' return all games providing a zip file)
Despite the lack of audio, I really enjoyed the colour absorbing mechanic and the levels were well designed. A pretty fun game overall.
