Wouldn't work for me. It opened, and I could see the menu and start the game fine, but once the game started I couldn't move the character and it was constantly jumping. Not sure why.
@Tokken18 that's strange :/ Which version are you trying to play? The applet or the desktop version? Thank you! :)
Nice colors.
Lack of air movement, flying off edges and collision boxes a tad big makes this kinda tricky to play.

The applet version is not working correctly in some computers, sorry, we are investigating in how to fix that.
Same as what cinnamonmelonpig said: I could open it, but beyond that, I couldn't control anything. If it helps, I tried both the Java 6 & 7 ones, with a Mac, Firefox and Java 7.something.
The controls are a bit weird with no in-flight control, doesn't feel very intuitive. I also think your hitboxes are a bit too large which makes the game unfairly difficult. Your graphics are nice and the idea is there, just a few minor issues unfortunately. Good entry!
Nice work. I liked the color choices and light up platforms. Getting the timing for jumping other shapes was quite tricky.
Jumping and moving mechanics made it very hard to control the character. If I just tapped the key when I was on the edge of a ledge, I'd go flying across and then didn't have any control for my landing. With a few tweaks, I could get into this one a lot more.
Nice graphics, interesting mechanic, clearly takes patience!
has potential but the collision boxes are too big -- its too hard to jump over the enemies, er triangles, er circles -- well -- you get it -- nice effort
I like your graphics, I love the "?"/"!" enemy, and... wow, is that a level editor? :D
Gotta respect the time you guys put into this :)
Btw - judging by the art, that's technically a cube.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Nice graphics. Mechanics hard to learn, thought...
