Really well executed! The game felt very clean and crisp without bugs that I ran into. Neat puzzle mechanics and game design as well. Well done overall!

Sweet idea with being able to swap with blocks. Might have been cool if you could just swap with any block you're near, instead of only certain special ones. The platforming physics felt a bit floaty to me and I'm not a huge fan of how sensitive the jump height is to holding up. Seems like it could be really cool if expanded a bit further (not that it isn't cool already!). Nice work.

The little tricks inside are very attractive, but I often pass the level inexplicably, I believe you can do better.

I really enjoyed this game, the idea of swapping blocks is so simple and fits the theme perfectly!

If you can find the time, would you please check out our game as well?!

Our twist of the theme is that a critic tries to play your unfinished game, and you fight from inside the computer to make him like it.

It feels like it could have been one of those childhood memory game from ancient consoles, great work :D

Great job making a fun and creative puzzle platformer. I really enjoyed how you incorporated the theme into your game and still made a playable and complete experience. The puzzles were difficult too! So good job on keeping the challenge there! Also!! I loved the music! Kudos to your music guy!! Overall, great game!

Love the concept, and I feel like it this could be expanded upon into a full game. The art style is very pleasing and makes it clear what each type of tile does (spike vs ice vs bouncy). I liked your choice of stock music, and if you'd like to add more to the project I'd be happy to help with ideas / compose original music! 

Great job!

Sadly that I ended up not putting in all block puzzles I had in mind   and it came out a bit on the short end,  but I might revisit it soon enough to expand the project with more challenges and block types,  and the seamless tileset   per tile type as I originally intended.

Also, thanks for the offer!
I had a browse through your Soundcloud and found most tracks to be quite pleasing.

What were the other block ideas that you had? 

And thanks for checking out my music, just keep me posted if you'd like to collab on this or other projects!

Very interesting puzzle game,  at first got me a little confused but once you get a hang of it, it feels really nice to be able to complete through all this, the idea of each tile having own physical effects is absolutely amazing and would honestly be cool to expanded. Wish you luck on the GameJam!

There should be something I could do to simplify that first bit of mechanic understanding. I'll mull over it this week.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!
