This was really cool. Felt a lot more immersive than most running games. The flipping upside down is awesome. It's well designed too, there are points where you can't see what's ahead, but you just instinctively know where to jump. Lovely style too. Nice one.

Really liked what you did with art style!! And the map was pretty neatly designed (if it's randomly generated - nice one!) All it needed would be a catchy loop for the background and for the theme to play a more significant role :)

very cool mood. Must have post jump grace in platforming! otherwise very cool effect of the black and white, quite challenging when it flips, also felt the gravity could be tweaked to be heavier.

Rather interesting idea, challenging game!

Pretty interesting theme using. It was unexpected when my hero fly away to the opposite side of screen.

Great job!

Nice, the animation when player jump is... weird XD. the inversion is good. I was falling then the gravity changed but then i falls into spikes XP

good game

I liked the single button game-play and was pleasantly surprised when it flipped upside down. Good level flow.

Well executed idea. It sets the mood. Those spikes are annoying. Wish i had a bit more control over jump. But good job with the environment.

Very nice game! Fun runner, solid controls and fluid movement. Gravity seemed to invert longer than 10 seconds but the lightning and other features were nice

Good Job. The B&W art style played well with the simple but fun mechanic.

Looks a lot like Limbo.

Nice concept ! I like the reverse gravity idea ! Really cool ! Thanks for the web version!

The graphic style is a good idea, but the game seems to be more polished, and maybe increase with more features.

Loved the sudden gravity change. Noticed that as long as you jump on the last square there will always be a safe landing this is good when you don't show the next jump but would be better if we could control the height of the jump (thus the distance covered) by keeping space bar pressed.
The black and white change was nice too ^^
Would like to see the theme used in the gameplay but great job ^^ want to see this grow ^^

Hmm that's a cool idea and I like the art style but lack of music and audio and... a title screen... makes it feel less impressive haha. But I know you probably didn't have time, so good job!

Neat game. I enjoyed it! The art was very pleasant, but it could have used some sound.
