Very good fit to the theme

Nice game! I liked the mechanics of it, the visuals and music were well made too.

Very charming! There's a really neat concept here with the music and art. Although it may follow a simple and traditional structure, there are some unique ideas implemented that really get to tickle your brain a bit—like the change in perspective and puzzle elements. It's unfortunate that the collision of the boxes don't seem to work properly; I did use it to my advantage, but I'm not sure if that was the intended way of doing things. Also, being taken back to the start after dying does get frustrating the more you advance. However, I don't believe it's all bad honestly; just a few tweaks here and there would create a much smoother experience

Extra points for the use of color! I've seen a lot of black and white, and I love how this game incorporates the color-changing background into the gameplay.

I think the art style is attractive enough to get people interested. Overall, there's room for improvement, and there's definitely something special here. I'd love to come back to it with added refined details. Nice work!

Charming and impassioned, very cool! Very clever way of incorporating the light/dark scheme. Also love the way the music changes based on the color mode.

 The portal behavior is odd though, it keeps re-triggering so long as you stand near it.

love the quirby vibe

The moving crate mechanic is a little wonky, but the concept is good. Also would be nicer to have checkpoints

Nice concept, good game ^^

I like the idea, it would be nice if you again collide it will switch color, because a bit anoying when it's just switching non stop, but funny. Also when you die you should go to checkpoint and not start from the beginning, at least I think it would be better. Collisions bit weird but fun in it's own way. Overall liked it, gameplay simple but fun.

Very nice approach to the theme, with good music and graphics. More control over the ingame mechanics would be advisable; moving blocks and color shifting is currently a bit tricky :D (might be in webgl only though)

This is a pretty nice game with good music and decent graphics. The only nitpick is that the day/night system is a bit buggy. It would be nice to have a button to control it instead of it activating only when you approach it

The  change of point of view using the wall as the floor is so original

This is the first time i see a game mechanic with a change of point of view. The puzzles are not so complicated but well designed
