Very clever alternative to just jumping. Really nice take on the theme, overall very creative nice work :)

Great game! It's a lot of fun. Some improvements would be detecting the spacebar while I'm moving or pressing a direction button, also it'd be cool to be able to fall with sideways momentum or even control yourself in the air.

Nice game design, excellent use of music.

I like that game mechanic - original, fun, great job!

Going inside the walls to climb and hide was an interesting mechanic.

Very funny!

One of my favorites. The trick with the audio when you go inside a wall is very clever.

Please provide an executable for linux since the webplayer is win/mac-only

A fun game. Excellent application of the theme. Lots of attention to small details like the music gets softened once you are inside the wall. Graphics might need some polishing. Definitely worth playing. Good job!

I really loved playing this. Felt fresh and original, and the puzzle design was well thought out. Awesome tracker(?) music. Intuitive controls. Stealth ! Bonus karma for providing a Linux build. I hope you plan to spruce up the graphics, build more levels and flesh this out - I'd pay some actual money for it.

I like this game a lot, I liked the low pass filter you used on the audio when you go in the wall, clever all around. 2 questions though:
1. Can anything be done with the pink blob?
2. I got all the coins, did that do anything?

Like somebody else said, with polish it's a clever enough mechanic to turn it into a small little indie steam game.

1. The pink blob was supposed to talk when you got near, but we ran out of time to implement that.
2. You get the warm, fuzzy feeling of having played the game to completion. Unfortunately we didn't have time to convey that information on the screen in any way

Well done!

Great concept! I wish I could go through the wall while falling. Very nice music and great effect on audio when you hide into a wall, adds so much to the mood. Great job!

Great job. The main mechanic was unique and really matched the theme. The blob animation and sound effects were quite well done too.

Nice! I especially liked the wall mechanic and the music!

Nifty little game! Finished it but suspect I missed something on the last level :p Easy enough concept to grasp and room for lots more on top should you guys continue. Bonus points on the audio for blending between two tracks :D Could've maybe benefited from a few more obstacles, maybe a moving enemy, but as it stands great little package!
