Interesting game! I like the graphics of the game despite it being so simple! The game play was quite unique, which I liked the most.

bro awesome game good job !

Some Points !

Not in order !
  • Even if I reduce the volume to min the music would not mute it would be playing
  • U could have used a better font and sprites(for lives not player)  !
  • The scollspeed of the instructions was very high was very difficult to read everything but managed to do
  • Changing the difficulty did not do anything according to me (or i have felt like that)
  • The was little difficult for beginners but if u play regularly that won't be a problem 

and as @Maultaschenprinz different colour themes will be better

even I don't really see the connection to the theme !!

If you are ok can you share the game engine's name !

The webGL loaded in seconds which i don't see that often

Great game! My complain is the music a little too repetitive. other than that good job! love the concept!

Okay okay okay thats like so much fun to play. And that's the most important aspect of any game. Sooo now to my feedback:

The high contrast works perfectly with the intended mechanics. You could implement some different colorthemes after the jam is over. If you plan to put it somewhere for ppl to play, it could be unlocked through highscores or collectables. 
The curve is really smooth. I tested the floating in the middle and it worked perfectly with entering and exiting the middle field. That helps the brain a lot to adjust. 
I also like the simplicity, that really pushes the competition aspect (in the means of the score). I could also see this as a multiplayer with different brainfuckery levels and different colored dots. 

The music is cool when you start, but after a while it's too much. Maybe a longer or a track with less agressiv highs would help. 

Sometimes the bulbs spawned surrouneded by platforms.  Maybe do a check of the axis so you can still access them.

The only real issue I have with this is, that "reverse" and "rewind" is not quite the same.

I really enjoyed playing this! It's really satisfying to build up momentum and Tarzan-swing up and down between the evil red blocks. I don't really see the connection to the theme (I can sort of see "reverse" but not "rewind"), but otherwise this is a super fun and interesting game! Awesome job making this polished of a game in only a week!

P.S. If you intend on expanding this at all, I noticed a small bug where red blocks would spawn underneath the black ones and be pretty much invisible, but they still kill you. It only happened once in five or six rounds, but I just thought I'd let you know in case you weren't aware :)

very weird and cool game never seen like it before

Submitted

Really hard to master, but once you can invert your brain each time it goes down, becomes more easy. Manage to do 75 point. Well done! Congratulations!

Thanks, played your game too.

I'm super impressed you did all the modeling during the jam.

Fun game, and funny storyline :)

Great Job!

Submitted

Thanks! Stay tuned for the update after the review period!

Submitted

Great game!

Sometimes the square would start moving up and down very little without going all the way up and all the way down. I don't know if it is intentional but it makes it imposible to get on the platforms.

But anyways, the game is really entertaining, Great job!

Developer

Thanks, just got a chance to play through your game.

Very cool idea and well executed.

I'm very impressed you did all the music and art yourself.

Great Job!

Submitted

Thanks!!

Submitted

I liked your game, playing through different gravity made me lose lives quite a lot!

Also Petition for Community Game Jam 2020's best pun award going to Brack and Forth, "Back and Forth" Brack, Brackeys, amazing pun!

Submitted

Really cool idea, player has to remember what on the other half of the screen and then make moves accordingly.

Great Job!

Submitted

Cool concept and well executed, its a challenging little game, glad i played it!

Submitted

Omg i realy like that game, take a while understand how the game work but after all is realy good Ps. Sorry for my bad english but i'm italian so...

Submitted

Hope you had fun making it!! ^^

did you do your profile img in blender with Blender Guru tutorial

Submitted(+1)

Indeed I did :3

Submitted

I also liked the use of blacks and whites.

It started out a bit hard for my skills (hard to master a new mechanic and at the same time have very limited vision). Anyways, a great idea, and very cool visual style that fit the mechanics nicely. 

Good job! :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks, I just played your game as well. Nice choice of color :)

Your game is one of my favorites I've played of the jam so far.

Really nice work!

Submitted

Loved the concept! Clever use of colors and how nice the color blind mode. 

Great job!

Submitted

This game is amazing! I love the concept and idea of switching gravity all the time, while making it  an endless runner (so to speak)! The color swapping is flawless and the movement feels really good!

The only suggestion I have is that it doesn't fit the theme in the best way, but I can see your perspective. 

Great submission!

Submitted(+1)

I love the idea, and the game is very hard, but the good kind of challenging hard! I also love the name

Submitted(+1)

Guess i said it before but i can't say it enough. Your games pretty challenging! The part where you have to remember the positions of the flying pieces on the otherside always throws me out. Great!

Developer

Thanks, yeah sometimes it's hard to gauge how hard the game is after you've been playing it the whole week while making it.

Played your game as well, very cool idea. I liked your audio clip :)

Submitted

Great game, interesting to play. Really love that you can play after the game ends and the color blind mode. Keep it up. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks, I played your game as well. Great job. Looks and sounds very good.

I can definitely see where your inspiration came from :)

Developer
