Great game! You took a very simple idea and made the level designs interesting. I liked the way the levels flowed into each other. I did have a few problems; jumping mechanics were sometimes strange near the corners of blocks, and occasionally, I didn't get my jump restored at the start of a new level, making it impossible for me to continue until I let my self die.
The design is really cool! :-) And I like the minimalistic style! :D Your pixels are polished indeed, apparently! :D
The movement was very smooth, which is a good thing given how hard this game is. The resolution was a little too high for the window to fit entirely on my screen, so sometimes I had to guess the location of jump pads at the bottom. Overall, though, it was an enjoyable game.
This game reminds me of Super Hexagon. Tight controls, good mechanics. Would have liked some sounds. I feel like it can be a bit unfair when the colour changes as I often missed the power-up and I died unfairly. Anyway, good game.
Solid controls, nice feel to it :)
Simplistic graphics! Very nice :D
I really liked the smooth loading between levels, where the end of one becomes the start of the next. Sometimes doing it did make it harder to read - I couldn't tell which coins I should be going for, but nothing that couldn't be fixed with just a little more time.
The last few levels were very well designed! I enjoyed it a lot.
Nice transition from one level into the next. The gold and orange coins are visually a bit high above the platform, I often thought I have to jump to get them.
A really neat idea, but it would be nice to be able to scale the window as the resolution was too big for my netbook screen (1024x600). :)
I like the color schemes and how it switched from scrolling left to right to right to left.
Great concept, tight controls and very interesting mechanic. I got stuck when there are the orange squares because I needed to jump into a red square, losing my jump and getting stuck. Don't know if I'm missing something though.

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.
It was fun pretty fun game, good tight controls.
