Fun game! I like the use of the mouse to move things to reach the keys. The jumping was a little weird, but overall I enjoyed it. Good job!
Pretty interesting! The hue shifting character looks really cool. The gameplay is rather unique.
Great game, minimalistic and all, also very interesting to play. I got to level 13.
I certainly liked the grid approach, it's almost tile-based movement platforming. but I had a real problem with the controls, things were happening too fast and I always felt a little unsure of the inputs ("should I press right and jump, jump and right?" "why did I fall, I pressed jump!" "crap, didn't I let go soon enough, now I've gone over the edge") - that kind of thing. the concept I'm pretty into, I just wish it felt a little more stable to control :)
Interesting concept, but how did the files get so huge? I think the color trail is very pretty, but the discrete movement is not very well suited for precision platforming (I played until level 13). I liked the idea of moving blocks in a platformer. Nice job!
The controls got frustrating after the first couple of levels. Sophie summed up the issues very well. (;
Good job! ~
Nice, game! It's minimalistic, but still requires skill and thinking. It's can be really hard, but that's a good thing.
I am a bit too crappy at platformer-timing to really appreciate this, but the style is nicely minimalistic, and the trail of color is nice. A bit hard to see where you are when you do a lot of in-place jumping.
40 unique levels within the time limit is unbelievably impressive.
Simple concept, a bit difficult, for me, but nice graphics and sounds ;)
Overall an addictive game, with a great concept. After playing level 18 for 20 minutes, I had to give in before smashing in my keyboard in frustration. Your game is really addictive(which is a good thing).
Painful due to small platforms and the way key presses / jumping is handled.
PS: in fact, Sophie Houlden explained it better than me. That’s what I meant. Also the color trail makes it impossible to see where the square is while jumping above, and it’s moving too fast. I stopped at level 3 or 4.
Interesting platformer. Controls seemed off. I certainly didn't play very many levels, but it was a bit of a drag to get the sudden change in mechanic for one level never to see it again.
Fun game, great idea but I think it's a bit frustrating to not see which blocks are moveable.

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.
Fun Game, Only downside is file size
