Good game play with mechanic, tho i didnt use the lazer and just made past by running upto the point it was not possible to move ahead.

++ on Creative idea

Overall the game feels good to play and I like the main mechanic (although meddling with the terrain can be a bit awkward at times). Also a fullscreen button would have been great, I think you can just enable that when setting up your itch page. Clicking slightly outside of the screen bounds and freezing up is rather annoying.

This game was pretty fun!

Things I don't like: - Couldn't hit the enemies - The game is too confusing without reading the description - Some levels have bad level design - There is no full screen button :( - The game doesn't rly fit the theme 100% well - The enemies bullets are slow a bit?

Thing I Like :D: - Some levels have the GREATEST level design - I like the sfx and the particles - I love how the enemis interact - I love the beam gets reflected by the walls - This game can be a rly cool shooter game :D gj

Played this game and it was fun...

At first I couldn't hit the enemy until my mind gave the logic to me...

I have to change myself to color red...

Super good concept... It's another color change game I have played today...

oooooo this game is fun, I got stuck in with the red angry bug thingies, couldn't get past them. Super fun otherwise, I love the art and the use of the theme is excellent. The music is also very awesome. Overall amazing, I just sad I couldn't get past the tight hallway. 

Oh and one question, the colours in the first level spell out QEEQ, was that an easter egg or a coincidence, what does it mean?

Yeah, unfortunately we found out too late that we had an export bug that made level 8 impassable :(

After the jam review period, we're gonna push a fix right away! This project was super fun and might turn long term o.O

The QEEQ bit was supposed to be a bit of clever tutorialization using the level design and more or less tell the player what needs to be pressed ^-^

this is great! i love the visuals. it's like hotline miami set inside a computer. i couldn't work out how to get through the really tight corridor with the red angry arms monster blocking the passageway. i couldn't get around him! there is obviously something i'm missing

Unfortunately, it was a bug that was only found after submission. 
Keep on the lookout for post jam where we'll push the fix! This game was excellent to work on and it might continue in the future.
