Nice idea and music :) I like it :)

acerunox 2014-08-25 19:47

Oh. My. God. That idea. That music. AWESOME!

tbamberg 2014-08-25 21:08

mechanics were solid, and it was a blast. music was good too!

flyinpig5 2014-08-25 21:09

Best game I've played this LD! Awesome music, graphics, gameplay and is nicely linked with the theme!

maxking1234 2014-08-25 21:09

Great Game! Really good idea and well executed. The music was great

pinion 2014-08-25 21:10

Cool idea, nice music.

I keep making mistakes and switching to the wrong color :D

I did not feel rage or lust but I am commenting anyway.

bradsmallplanet 2014-08-25 21:10

This game rules.

rooter4 2014-08-25 21:12

Really cool game, great mechanics and a bit of a challenge.

sylarisbest 2014-08-25 21:14

Really like the music and the idea neat. Good job.

vandriver 2014-08-25 21:16

I started with almost the same idea, except using orange/purple etc for mixed colors. parallax is a much better implementation. I didn't like having to cycle through colors and its clunkiness is part of why I abandoned the idea. No way around that, though. Everything else is extremely well done here. I enjoyed it a lot. And yeah, music was awesome.

seraphicmedia 2014-08-25 21:21

Wow that was amazing! I got stuck on the part where you have to jump and change color but wow that was fun! I gave you a super high score. I think you could've had a better thumbnail pic though.

maesk 2014-08-25 21:40

Whoa, excellent idea! Nice music, nice Megaman-like sprite, and a great mechanic. Good work!

andrewjamesadams 2014-08-25 22:04

Thanks everyone.

donutttt 2014-08-25 22:05

This was fun, I liked the layering of the colours. Also, good music! Well done

This game made me chuckle several times, mostly while falling off the screen. I liked the music and the concept.

kerdelos 2014-08-25 22:14

Really enjoyed your game, keep on rockin dude !

pesty 2014-08-25 22:33

I came to your game for all the wrong reasons - but definitely the best game i've see so far

psychomonster 2014-08-25 22:35

super stylish cool game... like the music too...

cake_catastrophe 2014-08-25 23:46

This is pretty cool! I've seen color-switching mechanics like this plenty of time before, but here you really work it into the aesthetic of the level in a cool way.

It is pretty challenging, but doesn't feel impossible, which is good. So far I've only made it to world 2.

Only complaint is the control layout feels a bit funny to me - i think i'd rather use WASD to run and jump and the other hand to switch colors.

Overall really good though, well done!

andrewjamesadams 2014-08-26 00:09

@Cake_Catastrophe you can play using the arrow keys also.

coyyonce 2014-08-26 00:51

This is a great game! The mechanics are interesting and the implementation was very smooth.

denisre3 2014-08-26 01:01

It's a really good idea and it's really well realised. It's really fun!
By the way, I found an exploit. If in world 1 you switch colors while you are in the rising fase of a jump, you can make that jump way bigger and exit out of the level borders(for example I used it to walk on top of a roof).

jm-dg 2014-08-26 01:11

This game rocks!!! Great game mechanics and use of theme.

andrewjamesadams 2014-08-26 01:24

Thanks for pointing that out @Denisre3. I'll work on getting that fixed.

thegreentie 2014-08-26 01:51

Nice idea. The I personally didn't find the transition mechanics quite responsive but the puzzles were fair and really fun!
Also, get a PC.

isaacl-balogh 2014-08-26 07:09

I like the music and the game play is interesting (though I did have troubles being colour blind).

sneeuwpopsneeuw 2014-08-26 10:05

realy nice gameplay and many levels

the-lag-pack 2014-08-26 10:47

One of my favourite games so far.

adventureislands 2014-08-26 11:01

Good idea and usage of theme, well done platforming that requires quite bit of finger dexterity. Perhaps the character could have been little more floaty to make it slightly easier.

techblogogy 2014-08-26 18:11

Solid and fun game. Good job

sharpcoder 2014-08-26 19:53

Very unique and fun game idea. Great job!

robinerd 2014-08-26 21:08

Wow, this is really nice indeed. Great concept and a nice experience. Also, the jump animation is really megaman-ish, and I like that!

geckoo1337 2014-08-27 04:55

I have accomplished the first level and I can say you have created something new. This entry is very creative. design can be improved, but yet I like this project. One of my favorites for the LD30. Well done ++

mrexcessive 2014-08-29 17:35

Hi there. Really nice implementation of this idea. Good puzzles and level 0-1, reached start of 0-2 then my platforming abilities (bad) let me down... Nice sounds and graphics/animations. Good job!

aaronflippo 2014-08-30 18:18

One of my favorites so far. Pure simple mechanics, but very mind-bending and nerve-wracking.

soupwithbits 2014-08-30 18:30

Music so good. Had me jamming the game a while.

parahunter 2014-08-30 18:44

Great core mechanic. A bit annoying that you used a perspective camera since it made it harder to judge the jumps.

bluesky 2014-08-30 19:09

I'm very impressed with the gameplay, well done.

bytegrove 2014-09-01 15:59

Really nice interpretation of the theme! The game was quite hard, but it was easy to learn. The music was really good, nice work!

jukimv1986 2014-09-01 16:07

I experienced excitement. Because yours is such a great game! Graphics, music, gameplay, ... And the triforce! Amazing level design! Great job!
