The way u change lvls .... is really awesome.
Great graphic and theme

justinooncx 2014-12-08 06:58

It's like jumping in molasses. But still, it was interesting.

wayward 2014-12-08 07:14

The level changing was really awesome.
But the controlls are awful, it felt unprecise and sluggish.

Really fun interpretation of the theme. The controls are a bit quirky, but that might also just add to the game. Quite fun and relaxing.

Hi there. Like the flying off and on coloured paper effects for level changes. Good job!

chrisamaphone 2014-12-09 19:42

Great interpretation of the theme and use of triangles. :D

Anybody else having problems with Firefox? I can't use the arrows.

jaenis 2014-12-09 19:48

Great take on theme!
Almost got to the end, got stuck on "THE" level at middle of the "H" letter, snif.... ;)

valtaroth 2014-12-09 19:48

I really like the visual style you went for, including the way you gradually change the level. The jump feels a bit wonky but once you got used to it, it works great.

friken 2014-12-09 19:48

nice work. I really love the concept. Only wish was controller support. the controls feel floaty and hard on kb, but would feel great on a controller I think

ulydevsecondgame 2014-12-09 19:49

Totally awesome concept. Very polished graphics !

mokosha 2014-12-09 19:49

Absolutely fantastic game! Great job!

One (minor) criticism: The controls could do with a *little* bit of polish. It was hard to get a feel for how much I should hold left/right when jumping.

I got stuck in the H near the end (?) but otherwise was a great game, and good interpretation of the theme!

inkeystring 2014-12-09 19:51

Doesn't seem to work for me in Firefox either..

leaghorn 2014-12-09 19:53

Cool style. Very nice level change effect. Controls could be more responsive and movements quicker.

madameberry 2014-12-09 19:53

ok, done. really. =]
Haha the end was funny. The moon-jumping was pretty frustrating though.

mrlarryli 2014-12-09 19:54

It doesn't work on Safari but I got it to work in Chrome. I enjoyed playing the game. I got stuck in the 'H' and couldn't escape.

louis-denizet 2014-12-09 19:55

Love the game idea with the theme!
Char is a bit hard to control and music lacks a bit, but very nice work! =)

hoothoot 2014-12-09 19:59

Favourite game so far! Looking gorgeous! The controls were a bit hard to get a grip on. On some level, I kind of like it that way though.

zazlo 2014-12-09 20:00

Great visuals. Love this live naturally flawed triangles.

guimonpa 2014-12-09 21:28

Nice style, love the transitions. The end was a nice touch, wasn't expecting that.
The controls felt a bit floaty and I would have liked to have some more air control.

ix 2014-12-10 00:48

I've added a fixed version which might make the arrow keys work in firefox (and maybe safari, if we're really lucky). I ran out of time for tuning the air control (the thing that really bugs me about the controls is jumping off of ramps, actually).

tobyp 2014-12-10 09:34

I really like the concept, but the controls are awful. BUT you completely nailed the theme - the levels rearrange themselves! Small thing though - I managed to get stuck in the "H" in "THE", and failed to reach what I assume would have been "END".

nitrodeus 2014-12-10 19:48

Wow really nice and addictive game !

wlovas 2014-12-11 04:40

I also got stuck in the H, but i did make it to the end, and also finished. Fun despite the "ballistic" controls..

nassi 2014-12-12 15:47

Cool idea, but I'm not a fan of the floaty gameplay. Pushed all the way till the "true end" though.

marcellus 2014-12-12 21:55

very very nice use of the theme

pjimmy 2014-12-13 15:52

love it :) simple but creative, well done

2014-12-13 23:08

I know some other people have commented on the controls - they don't feel THAT bad to me, but a little more control during mid-jump would be less frustrating (I don't expect realism in my platformers, lol). But I think it's an awesome game. Fun, very pretty.

Add some sound and maybe tighten those controls up just a wee bit and keep going with this. Looks awesome.

6downstudios 2014-12-14 06:53

Really cool interpretation of the theme, and I love the art style! The contrast of the pasteled rough triangles (that can dart all over the screen) and the little round guy (moves an animates so smoothly), it really works! Well done!

chuigum 2014-12-16 02:32

Love the art style, fits well with the theme. Good job

Lucariatias 2014-12-20 17:11

A genius mechanic, and a beautiful visual effect. Clever interpretation of the theme. The lack of sound & music draws away from the atmosphere, but it's very beautiful and fun to play. More gameplay mechanics might have been nice, although admittedly you did mention a lack of time. The physics were a little floaty, with little to no air control, but other than that no problems there. I'd like to see an expansion with tighter physics and some level selection, along with some sound effects and music.

almax27 2014-12-22 17:47

Unique visuals really make this game, the controls and collisions were somewhat frustrating however, trying to fall down a 1 square gap but constantly catching one edge or the other almost made me rage quit :P I think more air control and gravity (read player weight) would really help. That aside I did enjoy the experienced and loved the way collecting each objective mutated the environment. Nice work :D

da_kid 2014-12-22 18:03

Platforming feels floaty and terrible. needs sound. Awesome concept.

ludipe 2014-12-22 18:08

The art and the effects were really awesome. Gameplay needs more polishing, though I understand it was a time-related issue.

pulsartronic 2014-12-22 18:31

You achieve to break the theme limitations really well. So fantastic that point. The addiction is really strong and I needed to went until THE END. Congratulations, really solid entry!

jpmit 2014-12-23 17:06

I really like the feel of the controls, and the look of the game is brilliant. Also, an impressive amount of gameplay for 48hrs. All round, a great entry!
