Love the level design and that you have a working settings menu, really creative way to use the theme!

I'd be grateful if you took a quick look at my game! :D

Cool! Just a little problem, the player blends in with the walls, I can't see him until I move

Thanks for playing. This is supposed to be a feature of the game. But maybe I'll redesign the character in the post-jam-version.👍

The level design was great. Really simple graphics but I still liked it and had a lot of fun playing the game. :)

Cool little game! I liked the level design, and the tutorial was very clear and nicely integrated. The music might be a bit too repetitive.

Great game, I really enjoyed playing it. Good job!

Wow this is great you have a real game here! Very clear tutorial and great level design, so much potential for future levels. Only crit I have is that it seems like I should be able to ride the horozontal projectiles like the vertical ones (currently have to keep pressing a direction to stay on them as they move). Great work!!

All around a solid game. I enjoyed how the level was effected by player deaths, that opened the door for a lot of puzzles. The game was well executed and the background was a nice touch.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest having the player follow the moving boxes shot by the purple boxes instead of forcing the player to inch along with it. I was able to do this in level 7 and 8 of my game if you need an example.

Overall, amazing game! One of my favorites from the jam!

Thanks for playing. I thought about that and the only solution would be to set the friction of the material for the projectiles up. But this would also mean that you can stick to the side of the Projectile. Maybe i'll figure out another solution that doesn't introduce a new bug. But thanks for the Comment👍😊.

Cool game! I really liked the background and the overall concept.

Enjoyed this one, good concept for the topic. Nice progression in the level design over a short period. Only minor bit of feedback was that the Bright Green and Red with a bit glaring compared to the rest of the colour palette but I'm scraping the barrel there. Good job!

Nice game! The idea about the disappearing blocks is very creative!

Nice game! The mechanics were pretty different from everything I've seen so far, so good job! I liked how the death counter acted as an extra obstacle. The controls felt pretty responsive and I especially enjoyed the goal sound effect. Overall a neat concept with challenging but fun levels! Nice job!

Wow! We came up with very similar ideas in the vanishing blocks! Really enjoyed the game, the style is simple but pretty and charming, the platforming is tight and responsive, and the music fits the tone of the game quite well :) Great job!

Please consider playing and rating my game if you can :)

Very fun game, the idea is great I only wished for better visuals.

Really fun game! Wish it had more levels though.

Lovely little game, really enjoy the core concept and the character feels really fun and response to control. You've also done some cool things with the primitive shapes; given a bit more time I'd be really interested to see what sort of designs they would evolve into.

I think this is a great game idea and hope you continue to work on it after the jam, it'd be a good one to turn into a full release!

I love it! The concept is just so cool, a shame that you didn't manage to do more levels. One slight improvement would be the controls for the player, they sometimes were a bit glitchy, i skipped one level by constantly wall jumping, I think that wasn't intended. But other than that, great work!

Thanks for playing.
I noticed the jumpbug, just an hour before submitting, but didn't try to fix it because i had more things to tweak and thought  people wouldn't find out so quickly. Well you were the first you commented and noticed it!😅
