Haha, had fun playing. Got to the wizard then couldn't help died due to laughter. Well done.

Nice game, but really annoying you couldn't skip the cutscene at the beginning, if you die a lot like me :D

uzumakkinaruto 2016-04-18 07:58

Very fun game. Well done

reismahnic 2016-04-18 07:59

Yay! A game with an intro! Can I just say how much I appreciate that? Thank you for giving me a reason to care! Honestly!
I think the mechanic is really fun and lead to some fun situations. Great job!

Nice one! :)

berserker_chris 2016-04-18 08:23

@wheerd After playing the Tutorial once you can restart the room you died with the continue button.

Great idea maybe work on the graphics a little more but I like it

Awesome game. Got to the second checkpoint after the fiery wall of death and then it was too diffucult for me :D. It is very fun.

Bzzzzt. I was constantly diyng until i realised that in istructions is shift not up arrow :D. I wish that you could change back, not have to cycle through every form.

Great humor!!!

Nicely done. I really like the main mechanic. It would be nice to have a faster restart turnaround time to help you learn the ropes though.

First of all, nice music! The backgrounds are also well made too, though it's a shame you didn't have the time to apply the same care to the characters.

As for the gameplay, I have one suggestion and one question. Personally, I would have liked the checkpoints to be about twice as common. There was a lot of backloading of difficulty in the levels, which meant I found myself playing through the easy earlier sections for extended periods before I could reach the part that was challenging me. Also, I found the doublejump became less and less useful the longer you waited to use it, to the point where it was almost always better to mash the jump button do do a super jump rather than wait until you're partway through the jump. Was this intentional, or a mistake?

berserker_chris 2016-04-18 11:16

@RockhopperGames It is intentional, sometimes its better to wait for the doublejump and than the gravity stronger as the power of the player.

Cool game, had fun playing :)

Nice little game. Sometimes I couldn't change the shape. Good Work though.

berserker_chris 2016-04-18 17:06

@GamesQuester with the orange direct on wall you cant shift because the green will stuck in wall

freeloader 2016-04-18 19:47

Nice and challenging, Zzxsh out!

phocker 2016-04-19 02:12

i did not realize the first time thru that i had to run back, but once i did it was quite frantic - i loved it - great job

paskal007r 2016-04-19 17:46

I have only one complaint about this: the shift icon looked a lot like a up arrow, which I mistook for.
Besides that, fun concept, nicely realized!

gametery 2016-04-20 00:17

Controls feels a bit awkward, especially while double jumping but other than that it's quite nice . Well done!

fin_nolimit 2016-04-21 05:07

I died so many times that I got tired of the cutscene! lol.. All in all, super fun game! Excellent concept!

herszkorn-sacha 2016-04-21 08:59

miss so more explanations but not bad

patomkin 2016-04-21 10:42

I have multiple gripes with this game:
- The blue square is... useless? He can't jump and he's bigger than the orange rectangle. Maybe implement a weight-switch mechanics so he could have a purpose?
- The game tells me to run fast and then creates a veeeery slow wall of death, which I have to wait for to progress
- I can jump up the hill, but then I inexplicably die? Why?
- And most of all - the orange-to-green shifting restriction near the wall...
But the intro is a very good and pleasant touch and levels are quite good :)

berserker_chris 2016-04-21 14:01

@Patomkin thanks for your comment, i forget to make the wall faster in lvl 4 and 5, and the blue square is faster than the.

berserker_chris 2016-04-21 14:03

@fin_nolimit, how did you restart the game because the cutscene should only come if you die in the tutorial.

kunonooni 2016-04-22 00:40

I liked the concept of the game. I did have trouble with shifting from the red block to the green block when the wall of death was chasing me. Other than that it was a cool game.

Why do I need to login to google to download?

rock-eaters 2016-05-01 20:57

cool game, enjoying it, could be more polished on the graph side but its good

puppetmaster 2016-05-07 22:07

Cool game with some very funny twists. The theme implementation is great. Keep up the good work!
