This was really fun to play. Great job!

really fun game, one of the best

Nice game. Good idea and well implemented. I really like that it was a runner game, so I only had to worry about jumping and freezing. I like the look of it as well.

Collision with spikes maybe a bit harsh, and some problems when freezing the player instantly when starting the level, and not being able to jump sometimes. But in general, great work!

Cool take on the theme.

Most of bugs cause switching layer near spawn point. I knew about that but I didn't had time left to fix it. Simple fix could block player from switching layer for 1 sec after spawn.

I don't like all those frustrating platform games but this one is make me less frustrated :)

Good mechanic it was fun to play :D

Fun little game, I like it. The switching is a bit late and could be more tight, but overall a very well done challenging little game.

jmgloyens 2014-08-25 22:02

Really neat idea and executed pretty well. My only gripe is that the controls seem unresponsive sometimes which makes the game more difficult to play

Timing the world switching was pretty challenging but the game is great fun. Well done

Really nice. I was thinking "this is kind of like Thomas Was Alone and Impossible Game's lovechild" then I read your post. Definitely nailed it :)

Sometimes I wish I could choose right away which block to move instead of cycling through all of them every time, but then I realize that it may result in being frustrating.

Nice and fun! Congratulations!

I like the abstract art, I had issues playing 'cause pressing UP made the page scroll.

lukz 2014-08-26 10:37

@(Not) Ivano I tried to block default UP behaviour but it was also not working in game. Although, I successfully blocked space for scrolling down.

Great idea. It was a bit hard to play. I had a lot of trouble with the jump button--it worked only about half the time, unfortunately. Even when it was working the game felt pretty difficult to control and not terribly user-friendly, which was a shame since the game itself looked very interesting and I wanted to see what it had to offer.

I liked it, it was challenging. Sometimes the cycling mechanic was a bit annoying and resulted in just restarting the entire level, but overall cool game.

Good mecanics. Game is bugged after the really hard level (5 little jumps in a row. I don't know what is after but until there i think the difficulty is too much reliant on the platform and not enough on the color mecanic. I would be great if the level is finishable only with one color and you have to use others only as platform in the right order. Maybe it's what you did in next levels but sadly i can't play it. Still the game is good, art style is great too.

Pretty sure I broke it... I included it in part 7 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/8xjQ7S7Vv10

Nice mechanics, I like minimalistic concept, really fun game.

flannelvindicate 2014-08-28 16:22

Psst - We played your game on today's Ludum Dare to Believe! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEDWtuUqVjk

Nice design which works really well with this mechanic but did find the switching a bit delayed. Would definitely like to see this expanded. Fun game.

dcampos 2014-09-01 16:30

I like to see simple, yet innovative games like this. The art style looks good with its minimalism too.

grayhaze 2014-09-02 11:13

The platforming physics are well implemented and I feel like this could be a really good game, but I'm stuck on the second level and suffering a bug where sometimes I can't jump. With a bit of tweaking this could be fun though. :)

Great game concept and levels.
