How does your game fit the theme?
Our game fits the theme "Two Points of Perspective" by combining gravitational perspective—flipping between floor and ceiling—and color perspective, where players use colors to alter the environment. Both perspectives work together, creating dynamic puzzles that require creative thinking and strategic switching.

was a really cool game, niceidea with the gravity and the color changes, looks really amazing, good entry x3

Awesome idea for a game! Plays really well. The committed jump arcs might not be to everybody's taste, but having grown up with platformers that use them I felt they fit really well. The color shifting idea for the gravity adds a nice spin. You adhered to the colors of the jam really well. And your font is pretty cute, as is your main character.

That being said, I would prefer a button to cycle through powers from left-to-right and vice versa. Have to reach for my mouse constantly really detracted from the flow. A pause menu with a color select could also work wonders. And while you don't need sound effects, a few subtle ones for the jump/gravity shift and some extra music would immensely add to the immersion. Also, if you move left of the first red block, you get softlocked.

All that aside, great fun. The physics are very tight and you did a great job coming up with puzzles. I could see it running on an old handheld.

Great and Creative Game!

I think it's really creative that you unlock colors from the palette. Really game! I also thought about VVVVVV, nice one!

Dude the color swap is genius! I got massive VVVVVV vibes from this game from the 3ds, and like others pointed out, a double flip  on the theme was appreciated. When playing the game, I did feel the controls were a little all over- especially when left clicking to use different colors  I also craved a little more air control, though It wasn't a huge issue when interacting with the levels. Unfortunately I got soft locked and was no longer able to play:


Still, this was an impressive take on the use of palate!  You had me thinking about how I could have utilized color in my game as well. Reversed gravity / 10

Thank You for your valuable feedback!
The lack of air control was done deliberately so that the gravity mechanics was not exploited.
You can always play the level by constantly pressing tab and moving forward (like flappy bird).
I would love to have your take on that part like how you would have solved it!

Also,
In which level did you get soft locked?
I will check what the issue is, for the complete game I might launch afterwards.

Thank You again!

Here's two videos that show both locks:

Where the door is not working is the last level of the game......I was creating a level 5 but it was not completed on time and hence the door is not working.
The second one is a simple collider issue XD

Anyways thanks for highlighting the bugs.

ahhh okay I thought I couldn’t go through da door- that makes sense

Gravity switching is enjoyable, opens up interesting possibilities for level design, especially combined with the colour swap mechanic, and is just overall a fun main mechanic. Graphics style is appealing and consistent.

I appreciate that you added the option to use WASD for movement, it's a lot more intuitive for me than arrow keys so that's a huge plus. I had some difficulty with the lack of control while in the air.

Nice double twist on the theme! The color swapping is really original, while the gravity swap is easy to understand to start with. Cool puzzle design and I like the way you have the player unlock the new colors. The music could use a couple more tracks, and the controls would be easier with some air control. Great art design and nice work overall!

Also,
I neglected the sound part so it was made in the last hour of the jam, hence it is not that good. :(

I like how you used two mechanics to implement the theme. The gravitational switch and the color change.
