How does your game relate to the theme?
I took Polarity to mean magnetic polarity so I used the idea of how different colours of the magnets attract each other. The character's boots are designed based on magnets so you can swap gravity to walk on the dedicated surface that the magnets attract to platform to the end.

I like how you implemented the theme, it's really good, the controls, however, felt a bit heavy and floaty, I would increase the gravity by a bit and make the character "brake" faster. for 3 days you did very well, keep it up! :)

It's a cool prototype, I would play this game in the future. The only thing that probably should have been placed spikes on both sides of the platforms, because I just cheesed through the whole game on the back of the platforms.

Cool game! I really like the concept and the visual when you switch gravity is awesome. 

The slideyness of the movement was kind of frustrating

Maybe you should only be able to change gravity while on the ground? You can kinda fly and cheese the second level but honestly its pretty fun to do that too

I had fun, I wish there were more levels!
