How does your game fit the theme?
Platform positions are determined by player position (and sometimes vice-versa), so the world and the player character are in some sense joined together to produce one single entity.

Really good idea and implementation. Only thing is, last level is very unvorgiving with the spikes. But good game!
I really enjoyed this one, you made a lot of cool things with the mechanics. Nice and interesting platformer in a strange world indeed
Very solid entry! Creative concept and well executed.
Love the minimalistic aesthetic too: details like the fluid animations, subtle effects (like dissolving upon death), color palette, particles in the background, etc., really make the minimalistic approach work. Great little game!
Nice, this is one of the best games I've played of the Jam. Very unique and fits the them well. I love the graphics and overall feel of the game. You did well to make the controls feel tight and responsive, making me keep wanting to play despite dying every second (like Celeste). I think the movement speed is fine, but I would like to see less jumps where you land on a single block. It feels pretty cool jumping and not knowing where you are going to land, however sometimes I feel it would benefit from some directional arrows showing how a platform moves. Overall, really fun and unique game.
Really cool concept and beautiful minimal palette. The jump animation is cute too. Managed to finish with many many deaths haha. Kinda looks like a bitsy game :)
I actually double-checked to make sure that my character & cat weren't identical to the default Bitsy character & cat, but I guess using 8x8 squares & a limited colour palette is inherently Bitsy-ish regardless.
This was a super cool platformer with a simple concept and super creative level design! The simple artstyle seemed very fitting for the game and it felt a little ominous at times with the lack of music. All I can recommend is some squash and stretch when you jump but it's really not needed for this type of game, so you do you. Either way, it's a great game!
This was super fun! It felt a little weird sometimes having the terrain fall off the side of the screen, but regardless all of the puzzles were challenging and engaging I felt. This is a super cool concept that I feel you could flesh out way more if you wanted to!
I love the simplistic style and the Dog! But was a little disappointed I couldn't play as it or have it as a pet :D
It was intended to be a cat, but I guess there's a limit to what you can convey in an 8x8 sprite.
Oh, well I liked the cat then haha
Really merged with the theme, nice job :)
Love the monochromatic art in this game, so simple and effective. I thought the idea that the player's movements were unified with the environment to be really original! Nice job:)
Probably the most original game that I`ve seen inthe jam so far,. I really enjoyed it but was a bit hard.
A little challenging but great concept!
Cool! Interesting concept and good execution. The small amount of cayote time is a nice touch. Great job!
Nice concept and level design!
Clever Idea, this was fun. I think this was the only submission I've played so far that ties the world to movement in this way.
It was easy to learn the controls, and quickly got challenging. I just wish timing the jumps was a little easier, but I understand there is a genre of games that focus on timing and precision! Overall, great work on this.
Wow this is very tough. I can't get to the cat I keep dying on the last set of spikes before him
I'm glad respawn times are short! Is original despite being a platformer.
This is as far as I can get, invisible blocks is where I draw the line lol
There shouldn't be any invisible blocks, unless you've encountered a bug or you're referring to the situations where your character's movement is blocked because another platform tied to the character's position is blocked (which shouldn't happen on the level shown in this screenshot).
Oh I see! Yes that will probably be it
Fun, charming, easy to understand but still very challenging.
Awesome idea and executed very well. Love the art style, love the mechanics and the sound complements the scene great. Provides a great challenge without making it too difficult. Well done!
this is really cool, like very cool, like I'M GIVING YOU 5 STARS COOL. This games mechanic is very clever and i genuinely liked playing these levels. The simple art is great because it keeps me focused on the platforming and not have a lot on screen to deal with. The sound effects are nice. This was really cool. Good job!
Amazing platformer mechanic! I really enjoyed the levels where the terrain gets stuck and you can float in the air, or have restricted movement.
