The goal of the game is to go as high as possible.
You have to throw balls into the cubes to create platforms. You can also change the red cubes into blue cubes by touching them with a ball.
If the cube is blue, you can jump on it.
If the cube is red, you can't
Controls :
Move with WASD (For ZQSD, juste change with alt+tab)
Jump with Space
Throw a ball with the left click
Reload the level with R
Go back to the menu with enter
Theme :
At the first sight, the cubes help you to increase your score, but they are not your friends, at a random moment, they will change their color to become untouchable.
Game made by Guillaume Cazelles.

Unfortunately, perfomance of your entry is very low on my machine :( So, can't rate...
Nice atmosphere with the ambient background music and the glowing point lights.
Cool game, a few beautiful moments. Does the game ever end? I played for a few minutes and got a pretty high score, but i found no way to restart except for restarting.
Shooting the cubes in all the directions was really fun.
Jumping on them was too hard.
Not sure how it fit the theme, but as a game it's fantastic. The morass of cubes is fun the look at and dance around. Music is nice and subtle too.
There are really great moments, but it seems heavy on the hardware sometimes x)
The game was really fun! I enjoyed it! Its just the game's theme didn't really match up with Beneath the Surface
Great simple game concept but challenging, will be definitely giving this another play later.
I love your help screen, brilliant idea! I thought the controls felt a bit floaty for a game based on platforming though.
Also, and this is probably more just a personal preference, but I don't really think a first person view works for this. A third person view give you much better feedback about how close you are to edges, that sort of thing.
The lighting from the balls is a good idea, I really liked the look you achieved.
Oh man, I really liked the feel of this game, reminds me of a scene from Laputa! Quite difficult to play, but a lot of fun to try.
Really cool ambience, with the music and the lighting and everything. And a neat concept too. I feel like the mouse look was a bit too sensitive but that could just be me.
Hi. Love the look as this plays, especially the light source on the ball. Fun toy even without the height game.
Awesome concept! Definitely hard because of the floatiness though. Bigger cubes might help.
Idea is very interesting. Need more in game info, but this is understandable for the 48 hours game. Visuals are great.
Looks good, but the physics get in the way of the gameplay. It could use some other background to help orientate yourself.

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.
Cool concept! However, you should hide the mouse cursor, as if it goes outside the window, it'll unfocus the game when you try to throw a ball.
It's rather cool atmosphere when you start reaching higher and higher, glowing cubes rising slowly... :)
