For a game made in one night, not bad at all! 😊 Simple art, but sometimes less is more. With a few sound effects and some music, you’ve got yourself a game.

I did miss some explanation about the different colors, though. Sometimes I suddenly "died" or ended up somewhere else and wasn’t sure why or how at first. Other colors made me jump higher. A little tutorial or popup would have been handy, but I do understand there was not much time in that night to do everything ;-)

The theme was definitely incorporated, as well as the color palette. As a small game, it’s a solid effort for the jam. Great job!

TY <3!!! I wanted the player to learn what all the colors do through experimentation and level design, but as you said in only one night I didn't have time to polish that. Maybe in this case I should have added those instructions, but ideally I would have made a tutorial level in which you get used to one color before presenting the next one, so just by playing you would learn what each thing is. Like first a whole you can only exit with green, then a wall you need blue to pass and finally a floor you need red to cross. Then, the level with all them incorporated.

That would indeed be a nice way to learn the player all the colors by playing :-)!
Was still a fun game nonetheless :-)!

Hearing this was made in a single night, I'm impressed. The viewpoints seem pretty sound. I'm no master at these types of puzzles, so some type of tutorialization would have been nice. It took a while for me to realize what each color did. Also, a subtle jumping sound effect could have helped matters in terms of sound effect variety. As would a more level-based structure. Congratulations on getting something out the door! Game jams are never easy.

Unfortunately the game crashes on startup for me, so I haven't given it a rating. It opens a blank window then closes. Windows 10.

Impressive that you managed to make and release a game in a single night though, well done!

I really love this concept! There's the perspective change and different abilities matched with the colours. I'm not sure if that's the case though but it seems the different perspective  works as like a sectioned drawing? Green makes it jump higher, cyan can walk through and red kills the player? I think it would be a great puzzle game if player can understand these concept more easily instead of having to guess all of them.

Thank you very much!!! I made it over a single night while working another game for this Jam because I had confidence problems on that problem, so I couldn't work much on the starting zones and progression. I like the player having to guess what colors do, BUT I definitely agree that it shouldn't have to be this way. What I thought was that the first time you get a color you get trapped unless you use it, but I only did that for green. I would have liked to make it with a smoother introduction to the mechanics and smoothing things like a the axis change. 
Sorry if I sound like I'm being defensive because I don't mean to (it's just on text). Actually I'm very critic about my works and I like all kind of feedback (good and bad) because it makes my next works better. =D

I was also experimenting with something like this and I like your approach. Even tho we went in completely different directions I can tell you that the biggest gamechanger in my game was when the change in perspective was animated. it simply does a lot to where you are and what you see. I think when you are continuing on this game it has the potential to be something really interesting!

Yes, that was something I totally wanted to implement, but I made this game because I was burned by making another game for this game, and I made in a single night because I had to still on the other (I slept 11h in 5 days XDD). Thank you so much for words!!! I really appreciate them :))

Has potential as a puzzler, but maybe some more explanation is needed.
First i though i had a bug where i was randomly transporter. But i deduced that touching a red color transports you.  And the greenish color makes you jump higher but only when on that color.
Good effort
