Great keyboard mapping. The idea is well implemented. Besides the "bird swap" that happened while I was in middle air making me die... It was a very good experience :)

Polished game, nicely made! I included it in my GMTK Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Love the artstyle! The final level was a bit tough because of the models being a bit too large for the free space, but other than that, very fun to play :D 

(Beaten with the keyboard btw!)

Me at world 1: how's this mechanic ever going to become a challenge. Just wait until the timer switched and continue.
Me at world 2: Oh, that's how.

The simple smooth graphic style is great. I had trouble with the bird's hit box being a bit larger than I'd expect, but managed to beat the game in the end.

The platforming is a little clunky, but the main mechanic is very well made, and the atmosphere is reaaally comfy. Well done!

A very cute and simple art style (with excellent colour choice), nice soothing background music, good sound effects, and good, challenging gameplay. I kept trying to guess what controls were gonna be swapped to next, and let me tell ya, I was wrong every time. For there only being two other configurations it could swap to, that's a wonderfully bad track record for guessing a coin flip. :P Nice job!

So cute!

Really nice artstyle and polish - nice game mechanic, it would be great to see this expanded to use more keys on the keyboard.

For example maybe something like this:
top row of keyboard (QWERTYUIOP) for whatever the jump key is
left row of keyboard (ASDFG) for whatever the left movement key is
right row of keyboard (HJKL) for the right movement key?

Would be great to see more levels and worlds :)

the artstyle is the strongpoint of this entry! very well done! This game could use some coyote time tho.

It's a very simple take on the theme, but this is quite gorgeous!

Nice simple (but hard at the same time) gameplay, polished graphics, and very good tutorials. the only thing that was missing more sounds and maybe even music

Pretty, polished and fun. Also, cool idea with switching platforms.

Submitted(+1)

Loved the art, everything is very polished! Although I noticed a bug which stopped my progress completely, as it is possible to get stuck in the switching platforms! Other than that great submission!

Developer

I discovered the bug really late into development, which is why I added the reset button (didn't have time for a proper fix unfortunately)

Has some well done graphics, especially the intro. Because of the well presented introduction and controls screen forgot I was in a Jam Game.

Love the presentation - it's rare you see a game jam with such a well-defined art aesthetic. The idea is also very well executed - good work all around!

Submitted(+1)

The sound is very clean and nice!:) Like the idea of the key swapping!:) Good Job!

Submitted(+1)

Brilliant!

Submitted(+1)

This is absolutely lovely! Although I only figured out double jump by the world-2 on accident :D Still, very clean, very slick, well done!

P.S. the hitboxes were so punishing :D

Developer(+1)

Double jump is unlocked in World 2 so I'd be shocked if you had discovered it before that, ha

So much detail put into making this game, very enjoyable!

Cool! Nice innovation...!
