Read nice take / combination on the autorunning / platforming genres. Nicely done!
Very nice game, the mechanics are great and the level design is awesome, gotta play more to see if I can reach the end! Good Job!
I love games that make me think differently, and this one definitely does. A fine game, good sir. And it follows the theme spectacularly too.
Very nice one-button puzzle game, and the difficulty ramps up just right.
Nice mechanics, even if I didn't exactly manage to understand when gravity affect the character or not.
Great concept! I clearly suck, but I liked every bit of this game. :D
I really like the concept and the one-button mechanic fits the theme perfectly.
Really enjoyed this game; you took a simple idea and created a lot of various challenges with it.
Interesting concept, although the graphics and audio is a bit sparse. With a bit of polish could become an good one button game.
Nice concept for a one-button puzzle platformer. The game has a solid foundation and I can see some really unique level possibilities comes out of it in the future. I would like to see levels that are based more on puzzles rather than timing jumps. Also, a restart button would be nice so we didn't have to wait for the player to fall -- sometimes a rather long fall.
Hope you guys keep developing this!

I beat it and I'm so excited! That's how good your game is - it's not just a good ludum entry, it's a fun game generally speaking. Awesome ramp up of difficulty, sweet music, great execution of a simple mechanic, and brilliant level design. Well done.
Not bad. Nice concept =)
But implementation may be better.
Interesting game in any case!
This felt very polished. Some of the later puzzles needed to be tweaked though. There was a jump in skill after the introduction of the red paint.
Cool game, probably could use a level select and a couple little things in a post-compo version but still very well done
Great concept. I liked the levels where you had to do a lot of jumping across different gravity planes more than some of the other levels where you have to time your jumps to avoid the red spots.
Great use of a 1-button control scheme.
Very unique little platformer - certainly was a great challenge, and a nice take on the genre.
Oh wow, this is cool. A good ludum dare platformer?! I never thought I'd see the day.
Outstanding, really would have fit in perfectly with all of the classic games from the early 90s. Well done!!
Innovative and moody, but musci is a little bit annoying.
Wow yeah, really clever idea for a minimal game.
And what about the name, I think it sticks perfectly to it. ANd it reminds me my math course :') .

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.
I'm straight up digging this game! So many possibilities for gameplay and it really never got boring.
