The concept is original and the art is really good!
And the game is fun to play btw ;)
cool concept!
Nice game.
Awesome game! i loved the music great job.
Such a cool idea!
This game has one of the most unique ideas I have seen in this jam so far! I liked how we play the first half of the level and the rest with different gravities. It must be hard to create levels in this format, but I have liked what you have created!
The only thing I think that the game misses is more precise character controls. Although the platforming works, the controls sometimes feel unresponsive, and I think a platformer like this should have polished controls!
Apart from those, I'm glad that you have stuck with the geometric limitations of the jam and created your visuals around it. Overall, it was a beautiful experience!
Excellent job!
Great job! The changing mechanics racked my brain and made me think about how to progress. It made backtracking a new experience and didn't feel like backtracking at all. It was tough, but it was good level of difficulty. Overall this was fun to play!
Really creative and fun game! I love how the movement changes depending on if you're upright or not! My only suggestion is to make the hitboxes more forgiving. Generally, making the player's hitbox a lot smaller than its visual can make avoiding hazards feel more fair in the player's eyes. The level design is really cool, and makes great use of the unique mechanics! Excellent job!
Looks really cool! Its easy to understands and looks really beautiful! I have never seen something like this, really good job!
Extremely fun precision platformer! Definitely tough, but (mostly) felt fair. I love that there's a button that pops up if you don't figure out the glide mechanic, even if I took a few tries to figure it out even with it, haha.
Just about the only issue I've seen is that the hexagon and triangle levels don't have much contrast between the background and the level itself.
Overall a fantastic game! Well done!
Thank you so much! The contrast is definitely something I'll be fixing post-jam.
Good game and fun to play!
I enjoyed it! I liked the color scheme, the music, and how you implemented the theme.
Good job!
Very fun game and a good challenge! Had to physically move closer to my screen to see some of the platforms on level 2, but otherwise it was a joy to play, good job :)
It's a great game and an amazing idea.
The only bad thing that I see is that in some levels, some platforms can be confused with the background because of the colors that are very similar.
everything else is perfect.
10/10
AMAZING GAME! with super cool music
i really love this idea it's really well design but also really hard sometimes and that's what makes it addicting !! the design are simple but pretty great job :D
Im glad to hear that some people are enjoying the difficulty! (:
Like the idea. It's so hard (or I'm just a bad video games player) that sometimes I was annoyed. Good job, good game! You can rate my game if you want
I'm sorry that you got annoyed by the game. I'll be sure to check out your game!
Nah it's cool, good job once again
LOved it for the insane difficulty! I could totally see this game as an old retro game in the arcade if it had retro sprites!! Great work!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Really smooth polished game. Love all the effects and the palate swap when you change to the other side. the music was also amazing. level 3 was kind of frustrating during the second half with some jumps in between hazards where I kept dying over and over again but maybe that's just me
Level 3 is definitely a challenge with some frustrating jumps. I just hope it was rewarding when you completed it!
I really liked the vibe and the pallets, I was kind of confused as to which color was killing me, but other than that, it's amazing
It should be pretty easy to see what colour is killing you. I think you may have ran into a bug that I noticed after submitting where some of the platform colliders overlapped with the hazards and killed you if you landed on them at the right angle. Definitely something I'm looking to fix after the jam.
Glad you enjoyed the vibe though!
My best time is currently 2:46.30, I wonder if any of you can beat that.
