Really nice idea, the first time the world changed i was really amazed and the change looks very good. This has a lot of potential. I agree with some others that the first level wasn't so nice - i guess you have to get people hooked very fast. My problem was mostly the "sliding off" you mentioned.
If you want to advance it, this would be my view on the puzzles. It's difficult. On one hand, you can't grasp the whole puzzle yet - for example in Braid, you saw the whole puzzle and had to think about a way to solve it with the given mechanics. What i do here is mostly just aimlessly following "the change", as it is laid out for me. I don't have to think about how i could use this really good mechanix to pass a certain point, i just do it, kind of. Maybe it could help if you could change back and forth between the levels by paying gold coins? I feel like this would open a lot of possibilities, where the player has to think about what to do with the limited resource.
Anyway, it is really a great accomplishment! And i love the sound when you hit the "changer", reminds me of something from "Zelda II: The Adventure of Link" :)
