Brutally hard, and no sound! Besides that, it's a really promising game.

xandy 2016-04-20 09:38

@VividRedemption sorry, development switch to jump to the hardest level immediately was set, should be fixed now and have a gradually increasing difficulty level

demane_f 2016-04-20 10:25

really hard, especially for AZERTY keyboards ! but really into the theme !

xandy 2016-04-20 10:29

@EpiFouloux oh, i will add arrow key controls later today!

crucknuk 2016-04-20 10:34

Cool concept but you need to make the platform coming from under you to drag you up even if you are already on a platform, right there is some collisions glitch that can lock you inside a platform and thats pretty frustrating in middle of action ^^

Overall fun and challenging game :)

Simple but polished and rock-solid in its gameplay. It's really fun and challenging to play. Nice one!

The game has some nice graphics and weight to it, i like the way the block sinks when it hits the bottom. The control scheme I feel could use s few more options. I felt that the A and D were a little awkward for me in comparison to the arrow keys, maybe make that an available option? other than that, I like the concept of it and it fits well to the theme!

grayhaze 2016-04-20 20:51

Brutally difficult, but a fun concept. The web version worked perfectly for me. Good work! :)

zenmumbler 2016-04-20 21:00

Cute idea. Sort of like the eternal climbers/fallers with phase shifting. Nice.

johnwatmuff 2016-04-20 21:32

This baby fries my brain, in a good way. Sound of some sort would enhance the experience by a lot. cheers!

dj_pale 2016-04-20 21:49

Little bit floaty controls, original idea

terracottafrog 2016-04-20 21:58

Really quite frustrating. Getting stuck in platforms, warping throuhg (I know about the mechanic, this was seperate from that), and not being able to switch forms in both directions really took away from the experience. Only two forms may have been better, and platforms moving faster, at the same speed relative to each other could have made the game much more fluid and enjoyable. Solid idea.

vini60 2016-04-21 01:15

Very good game.

landosystems 2016-04-21 01:21

Cool idea, the controls felt a little slippery for my taste, and at least once a new platform didn't appear until I was almost touching the top, but it was an enjoyable mechanic. Wish there was some sound! Good work overall!

bitdare 2016-04-21 01:41

I love the simplicity but the challenge. It was a fun play.

purrpurr 2016-04-21 01:54

Being actually good at this should be on one's cv.. I really like how this changes the idea of an otherwise boring type of game upon this point.

aaranos 2016-04-21 02:13

Fun game. I honestly kept messing up and switching early causing me to fall to my death. Learning what the shape order is would probably of helped me.

geti 2016-04-21 02:28

Actually pretty fun! Would have preferred slightly different controls (arrows + zx/xc/cv or something as an option would have been nice - something about jumping with W and changing with space rubbed me the wrong way a bit) but the difficulty was nice, i liked the mounting pressure to jump as you got higher and higher.

Could have used particles, sound, and maybe more stuff to dodge (killer stuff from the sides maybe?) but it was pretty sweet.

cosmologicon 2016-04-21 02:49

The controls could use some tightening up. Whenever I had to step off the edge of my platform I felt really out of control. It wasn't too bad when I could change and fall through, though.

mightytoaststudio 2016-04-21 06:37

WOW hard! I believe adding some good music it could be much better

josefnpat 2016-04-21 08:55

Neat game idea! nice job there! Feels like a vertical version of other games i've played. Well executed.

docteursid 2016-04-21 09:30

Amazing game ! But I'm sad that there is no music !

endel 2016-04-21 09:49

I liked the concept and the challenge. Had to read the description to understand the double jump feature - which is essential to make it pretty fun.

Maybe some background animation would help to know which direction the player and the bars are moving.

z4f1 2016-04-21 15:02

Fun little game! But I miss some music.

odyssey 2016-04-21 15:08

Pretty fun, good concept but it might be a bit too hard.

joekinley 2016-04-21 15:15

Well arrow keys would have been great.
But it was a nice little, but totally tough game. Especially as i kept changing shape before jumping, and promptly landing to my deathly demise. Had fun, good job.

mrshoestore 2016-04-21 16:06

update your description to say that right is the "d" key... i spent a dumb amount of time thinking "I can't move right"

Pretty difficult with the player speed, and audio would be a great thing to add.

joemanaco 2016-04-21 17:14

Nice challenging game.

arskiainen 2016-04-21 17:40

A bit too random with the platforms. I got into situations where it's all generic platforms by the dozen until you can fit to fall anymore. I like the idea, but would need some tuning.

apantaloni 2016-04-21 17:51

No performance issues with the html5 version. I like the core mechanic and I'd love to see this expanded upon. Maybe I'd have changed the shape of the main character, not just the texture. As it is I found it slightly hard to immediately determine which shape I was; maybe it's because I'm slightly colorblind.

authorx 2016-04-21 19:25

Felt a bit odd when a regular platform rose up through the one I was sitting on and didn't take me with it, not sure if that's always the case or because I was sitting on a shape platform.

ragnta 2016-04-21 19:50

It's a little bit hard for me, but I like this idea. Good job!

syst3m_error 2016-04-21 20:17

Super challenging! And tons of fun, the shapeshifting mechanic was super innovative

ivanfon 2016-04-21 20:21

Very fun gameplay, with some music, improved graphics and levels/difficulty, this would be a perfect game!

2016-04-21 20:38

Neat game, but very hard. Fun enough to keep trying, though.

technovirusattack 2016-04-21 21:01

I miss the music but the idea of the game is great! Nice job!

vilcans 2016-04-21 21:13

There seems to be a bug where I could stand on any shape. And there are glitches when you're standing on one platform and another platform catches up with it.

webadev 2016-04-21 21:16

Hard, not really beautiful, no sound, but original ! Like it !

teamscripta 2016-04-21 21:38

GG

nyaki 2016-04-22 12:09

Fun and addictive.
Would be a good mobile title with a bit of smoother control.

zerkruemler 2016-04-22 18:14

Well done. Nice idea well implemented. Some sound and graphical effects would have made it a really fantastic game. But it already very good. I liked to play it.

marmpa 2016-04-26 12:19

Really nice entry.
