Simple idea but fun to try and get a high score. I made it to 1:13!
I wish the keyboard indicator on the right hand side would change graphically to show you what your new keys were. I think when you only have 1 health point and there are so many obstacles, it's a bit much to not only adjust to the new control scheme, but also have to actually find out what the keys are by testing them.
I really liked the ship rotating, that was neat!
Ey Alex, quite a score you have there! My personal best has been 1:16, so you were really close to beat the designer hehe.
The keys do change graphically (left movement key always remains the same colour but changes position in UI) but I undestand there is little time to notice this, specially in tricky upside-down situations!
If you want to try again, a cool tip that i can give you is that the control scheme is not fully randomized (we had that early in development but it was too difficult). In fact, keys always follow a clockwise order ("jump" always is to the right of "left" and "right" is always to the right of "jump") , meaning that we are rather rotating the keys. It helps me to think of it as if AWSD were each a number in a round clock, and you were only rotating the clock. Actually, there are only 4 possible combinations!
Thank you for playing our game!
ah cool, okay i get it. awesome! when i get home i'll take this newfound knowledge and see if i cant beat your score!
Seemed cool, but being unable to rebind the keys made it a chore to play for azerty keyboards....not everyone has qwerty.
That is extremely great feedback, I didn't even imagine someone would play it on a non-qwerty keyboard!
Its a pity you couldn't play, though😢.
Haha don't worry, this happens all the time ;) I tried and started to get a hang of it (although my finger position was funky), but then the controls changed and didn't have time to figure out....
I don't know why our game doesn't appear when most of my team comments, but here is the link to our submission:

Nice quirky little game. Lots of fun, and the astronaut sprite looks great. Nice work!
This is really fun! A bit of a mind bender but it's definitely refreshing!!!
Nice art and funny graphics, the controls switching by color is unique and a nice challenge. Fun game!
The style is super duper fun, and the changes are truly wacky to deal with!
I like the screen flip. Very cool.
