Hm... It doesn't seem to work for me. I run the executable, but nothing seems to happen. Too bad--the screenshots look like the game has lots of visceral fun!

If it's not running you'll need the redistributables. Sorry about that.
Actually, I will put the XNA one in the zip as it's pretty uncommon.
Very interesting! I love the fact that the levels shifts and the levels are interesting! good work
It was interesting to be able to play different "levels" without having to load or go through a level selection screen. Particle effects were great. I just wish you could do more than jump.
Thanks for your comments!
Re: More to do.
I wanted to keep this as streamlined as possible. More player functionality, or at least a more interesting array of obstacles, would be definite goals if I was aiming for a more ambitious project!
What the! favorite game by far. Of all the platformers, this has the smoothest controls and coolest effects - nice work!
Awesome!!
Very cool game idea! I enjoyed playing it a lot. The sound was annoyingly loud tho... :x
This game is super cool!
The level transition animations are awesome, I'm really impressed you managed to put together so many in the time given.
I really like the graphics too, very minimalistic but also very stylish.
My only minor complaint is that it was a bit too easy to breeze through. Only one jump ever gave me any trouble.
Great game, nice work!
Simply Amazing! (wish it had more levels though)
That was amazing. I only had two issues - one, the "long jump over the lava pit" sequences were a little on the unforgiving/trial-and-error-y side, and two, some background music would have been an awesome touch. Other than that? I loved how the map kept transforming every time I touched the flashing icon, complete with awesome particle effects. Heck, watching the whole screen disintegrate as I found my way out was a more satisfying ending than some full games I've played. XD
Wow that was awesome, I loved it! Really satisfying victory screen. It was perfect how you kept it simple to fit the theme but you should expand on it more now. This would work great as a cell phone game.
Yeah, I'm on a mac so I can't play this. I did see your gameplay video though, and it was beautiful!
I've seen the whole morphing room concept done before, but the explosions and particle effects really bring flair to the proposition.
This is one of my favorites! So simple, so addictive, so minimalist. Lovely.
You totally nailed the effect of changing the level. The particle and sound fest is amazing. I loved the ending!
Nicely done. :)
Thanks again. Ambient music, 'live transforming' and some moving platforms for harder/interesting jumps are definitely features I wanted! I’ve never finished a LD before and wanted to keep it bite-size. :)
awesome transitions ! and great amounts of levels good job
Wow, even if it's not that hard or long it is a very polished and well thought through game. I really liked the idea of playing in one screen the whole time and changing the levels without leaving them.
Can't play windows games :-(
Awesome, cool idea and the transition as the levels shift to form the new ones looks really nice
enjoyed this, concise, succinct and fun. Nice length that left me wanting more (totally interested if you make more). good work, thanks.
That was good, I really liked how the levels readjusted themselves during gameplay. My criticisms would be that it took a little too long (in my opinion) to get to the challenging parts and also the audio was really grating by the end. Maybe you could randomise the pitch slightly to avoid this?
waw, just ... damn addictive, great job, it's one of my favs :D
That was pretty awesome, the effects were cool, and the "level" design was really good. Especially with the minimal amount of stuff. In fact this is one of the best entries I've played as far as the theme is concerned.
Also I like how at the end it just closes ;)
Wow, that was really neat. It's interesting how you've portrayed a progression of different levels just by rearranging things.
PERFECT.
Super entry !
Cool beans. Most true to the minimalism theme of all the games I've played.
Awesome~
Very simple and enjoyable! Love the level transitions. :D
A really awesome game with a very cool take on the theme and platforming. Nice ending too! Great work!
Fun, quick and flowing to play, with an interesting gimmick, though perhaps not used to its full potential, gameplay-wise.
Pretty cool!
I like the particle effect and your concept!
Great work! :p
Please sir, may I have some more?
where's the source though ?
It's in the same download in the src directory.
I'm a Linux user and can't run the game. Even wine couldn't make it run. Please use some multiplatform tool next time! When you develop a windows-only software, you obligate your user to purchase the windows thing. And the money is not the problem, the goal is about freedom and break the chains of the microsoft slavery.
