A nice idea (and pretty good execution)! Could use a little bit more gradual mechanic introduction, but you can get a hang of it pretty quickly regardless. Good work!

The introduction of mechanics was definitely something I wish I had more time to do. Originally planned for ten levels but could only manage 5 by the deadline. Thanks for the feedback!

Very cool game :) I loved how the jump sound was a keypress XD It sounds like the audio source was physically placed in the center of the scene, so I can hear the music panning around as I move, but besides that, it was a really nice experience. It would be nice if the blocks that turn on from the laptops were distinguishable from the blocks that stay but still only apply to one color.

Developer

Thanks! Your suggestion about differentiating the blocks is totally fair; I’d thought about making them subtly different but it was intentional to make them the same, wanted to add a layer of difficulty.

Really nice concept, loved both the platforming and puzzle elements. The visuals also fit the game well. Good job!

Really nice concept  - Good puzzle game that made me think. The control could use a bit of fine tuning to make it feel a little more responsive. I really liked the visual style - everything was clear and interesting.

I really like the platformer movement, and the sound effects, even though I would love to have a tutorial level where the mechanics are explained 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

I wanted to include a better explanation of the mechanics (by way of just a little more explanation in the instructions) but I also wanted the player to try things and figure it out on their own. I was also focused on getting a playable build uploaded so it go pushed down the to-do list and then ran out of time…

Very nice puzzle game. Reminds me a bit of the old flash game Company of Myself.
I also like the simplistic art style. The music helps keeping the patience :D
