Great job! That one jump in the 3rd level drove me nuts lmao, hard game. The icons for the different actions were really good, made it clear what buttons did what. Well put together, good job!

Super SpacebarThe best controls-change game out there, imo, because the controls are never too ridiculous, but they are still difficult to get your head around. 5 Stars for Fun and Presentation, but 3 Stars for Originality because there are numerous games that are similar to this.
Overall: 4 Stars.

Deli-very-FastA fun little game using the control changing idea in a way that isn't too fustrating. Levels were short and the fact that the 4 same inputs were swapped made adjusting to the new control scheme easy and quick.
Even with the countdown, it still felt a little jarring to suddenly do a move you weren't anticipating, definitely when you're already in the air, this causes slowdown as you generally just wait out the countdown between every few jumps, rather than risking everything for little reward. The last level with the wall of spikes addressed this, as it applied pressure to the player, more stuff like that!
Good work however! A fun little game! ^-^

Pass The PowerGood game mechanic and level design, but I feel like the setting didn't really match it. It could of been Mario, and it would still work. What I mean is that I would like a reason for the control to be the way they are. Anyway, good execution and it was easy to understand. No tutorial was needed, because there was enough feedback to get it!
As for the rest, the art is fine, I didn't find any bug, the music is well chosen and the SFX is well integrated. So Good Job !

Auto ShootReally fun game! Brilliant execution of the theme and a great idea, I like that you kept to the same 4 buttons and kept swapping those around for their purpose! Really fun, great job! :D

Panik AtakNice game, maybe first level could be shorter and may be some power ups give usual control scheme for a while

Prototype 13Cool game! Had me constantly changing my mindset as to how I was going to approach jumps that would normally be quite simple in a platformer like this :'D. Great job!

Buoy TroubleFun game. Really makes you think to keep control. I suggest being careful about using shift in your controls as it can cause sticky keys to interrupt the player.

Delve Delve LimitationReally clever idea! Hoped to meet Major Tom in the end though. :D Well done!

Waste WasterThe changing controls really mess with my brain. Truly out of control :p

Chopsticks SimulatorThis game is really out of control, I liked it !
However, the time to process the new keybind was a bit short, I preferred to wait for the good control instead of switching each time. To help the player with that, maybe you could add specific colors for each key or just bigger controls in the interface.
Overall, you really did a great job, kudos for the game!
