By the way, here's the Win32 build: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32094129/ld30/PortalDAGger_win32.zip

I got trapped! Nice music. I like the movement transitions; I thought it wasn't tile-based at first.

Nitpick:

- The screen can be a bit too much off center after a world transition. I'd have the screen position re-centered when you move to another world.

Great music and interesting game-play, plus a very helpful diagonal movement ability

I would say that if you're going to have a solution that requires you to move diagonally, you should make sure to teach it explicitly and then use it lots more after that (otherwise people will be looking for places to use the thing they just learned, like how we figured out how to get through walls :) ). I wasn't really sure what the red thingies (not the blocky red thingies but the portally red thingies) were and how they were different from the green thingies. I felt like the straightforward puzzles were good for teaching how the mechanics worked with the swapping, but after that there wasn't too much puzzliness since you mostly just walked forward and triggered things in order.

This was way more fascinating than it looks - I think I finished it by getting to the horizontal line. But I do agree with the comments that I would have never tried diagonal movement unless for the comments here.

Ditto on the diagonal movement. I came to the comments when I was stuck in a loop. After that I eventually got to the end.

My solution was really just brute force as I couldn't exactly follow what was going on other than going to another spot if I thought I did something before. The green dots seemed to help guide though so good job there.

Fun music.

It's a nice puzzler, but I got lost after taking the green or red portals. I like how the switches remain intact even when you go back to start. (I assume that's what the red portal does.) Killer music btw!

Found the exit without the comments, but i admit it was hard to find the diagonal movement. Nice game.

This puzzle game is intriguing, but I probably missing something, I don't understand, what is the goal and how to reach it?

I move from portal to portal, but it seems I never have any choice : pink, green, pink, pink, pink, pink, pink, red, and start again.

The music is a very effective catchphrase, I guess I will hear it even after going to bed :D

Wow, you really get lost in there... Nice concept and music. I got into an infinite loop: screenshot at https://www.dropbox.com/s/3axrymsf3o1s77l/TauOmicronMu.png?dl=0
