Would have loved to play more but it didnt seem to be very easy to get over the lava pool? will vote again if fixed.

Very interesting idea. The first puzzle was hard. I couldn't get past the second one at all. But rolling on a boulder was fun.

Interesting concept, I like the idea of a transparency gun, made for anxious moments getting through the cave on level 2.

Glad people have tried it :)
I totally agree that the difficulty scale is way too steep, it's one of the things i realised right after submitting. I might do some changes later, but the game will stay as it is for now, since that's how I made it during the 48 hours.

Good work!

I hope you do develop this further. I really liked the game concept.

Awesome, awesome gameplay! Think you're on to something here!
One of the better action puzzlers I've played!

This is brilliant! Great concept, and fiendish level design. The concept really works well.

Good use of the mechanic

Good idea with this mechanic, stars for innovation

Well done with the mechanics! I miss the sound but everything else works pretty well. Nice concept.

This reminded me of the glory day of PC platformers. Really cool, nice work!

The concept is pretty clever and fits the theme well, one problem I had was that the blocks reset quickly and if you're inside of them they can reset on you and make the level restart. This can be a little bit frustrating on some puzzle levels when you're at the end and accidentally die.

Very nice job. Fun game with interesting mechanics. Really gets the pulse up when blasting through that cave and it starts to materialize again.

eskivor 2014-05-01 19:29

Not so funny for me. And the blocks reappear too quickly.

delca 2014-05-01 19:58

I liked it! Although that big level was too hard for me...
Some audio could have been nice to complement the already-very-good graphics.

l3dx 2014-05-01 19:58

I liked it! Nice retro feel and challenging levels

atkinssj 2014-05-01 19:59

Very clever! A nice idea, and your levels take good advantage of it. My only issue with it is that I didn't get very far because I kept dying! :P

Really creative mechanics but a little unpolished (checkpoints etc would have been nice)

phocker 2014-05-05 02:54

really nice idea - good job
