Very cool game

This was challenging but very rewarding and fun, and fits the theme really well. The art was simple but really effective, especially with the parallax scrolling. I especially like the controls and movement of the black square. The music is really polished.

Definitely a really hard game. Simple, but still super fun!

Really cool game, great art, and dope music. The game was a bit unclear and overly difficult sometimes tho, for example, I didn't even realize the white character had a double jump until I saw the double jump restorers.

I loved the game! The only thing to improve would be to add particles because the art is good, but the atmospheric effect is lacking. Good job!

Submitted(+1)

like the level design and the art style, the game idea is fun and creative and works well, the only improvement would be when the white character does a double jump some sort of particle effect or animation would be nice.

Really cool little game, kind of like Thomas was Alone mixed with VVVVVV. Maybe a bit hard in places but I loved the graphics.

Either I'm really bad at games like this (which is totally possible), or the placement of the jam to renew the double-jump in the beginning is just a bit off. I really liked the mechanics though and I think it fits the theme well!

Developer

bit late responding but are you double jumping from below into the jam? the hitbox is a lil wonky (completely my fault i ran out of time lmao) so you have to come in from the bottom. hope this helped!

Submitted

I was not! I was jumping from the ledge. I'll try from below because it is a fun game.

these little square guys r pretty cool

The idea is good, it's just that the controls are of poor quality. Sometimes they will work, other times they didn't. If this functionality is intentional, I would consider explaining certain cooldowns in the game.

Developer

can you explain in further detail? ive never had this issue and if its a big problem for other people id really like to get it fixed

For the cube that switches gravity, whenever I would try to switch gravity it would randomly stop working, and when I spam it eventually worked again.

Developer

hmm strange, there was an issue like that in an earlier build but that was before level 6 or 7 were finished so i doubt i uploaded the wrong one but ill give it a check

Developer

Are you using a mac by any chance? i just found out theres an issue with it on macs

I'm running the game on Windows, @144hz

Developer

hmm could be the issue, im only running it at 60hz

Submitted

Hey! The game looks good and I liked the idea, but I wasn't able to play it much because my controls broke every time, like I couldn't change characters or it would do it at random times, is this a bug or did I miss something? I hope you had a fun time making it!

Developer

I'm not even sure if its a bug? everyone ive had playtest it has had fine controls ill definitely look into this more

Submitted

Really nice concept and well executed! The colours work well and the excellent player feedback is a nice touch, also! Great job on this one! :D

Submitted

Nice game, I thought it was a bit to hard right away  the third level was very har with the roof gravity thing. Music's is great tho.
