Good game! It took me around 4-5 minutes to play through the whole thing.
I liked the idea of the colour switches being part of the mechanics of the game. Didn’t yet feel like a “core mechanic”, but I guess this will come if you flesh the game out with more mechanics that rely on this change :)
I am getting a virus warning from Win10 Windows Defender when trying to launch the unzipped exe (game and level editor), this warning doesn’t get triggered when launching through the itch.io app.
A few notes/suggestions:
- You can stand on enemies
- Menu should have keyboard controls (as the game is keyboard only)
- Too much text at startup, try to trim it down to the essentials and show the rest through gameplay or bits at a time (Felt like a good 1 minute, which in comparison to my 5 minutes run is 20% of total playtime).
- Maybe implement “coyote time” (jump can still be pressed when slightly off a platform edge), would make the movement a bit smoother.
Would be excited to try out the level editor (but it’s getting blocked by Windows Defender, maybe look into including it in an itch.io manifest file so it can also be launched through the itch.io app).
Overall, good job!
