I enjoyed playing! challenging gameplay, cool graphics and sounds, the controls are smooth and responsive, this has good replay value, overall great game! congratulations! keep it up!

Awesome game. Really good implementation of that "fake block" idea. A lot of different cool gameplay situations and mechanics. Few flaws here and there, just for your future games: Height of spikes and height of blocks are equal, so I had some weird behaivior when I land on block from my right side and on spike from the left and take damage. Also, few level sections felt a bit random. Graphics look awesome, good sprite quality and especially light. Audio was good, but you should add a slider. Despite all that I loved the game and completed it. Good job! :)

Very nice game! I really like the lighting effects and the simplistic art style! Great job!

The game visuals are awesome! The game is simple, yet very well executed. The controls are very good and I had a really good time playing it!

I would love to have you playing mine too, if you don't mind of course! ^_^

Awesome game idea! I also really enjoyed the simple art style. Keep going!

Really enjoyed this - it was a reminder that a game idea doesn't need to be overly complicated to both be fun and challenging. It took me a good couple of tries to get through the second level (and I think I lucked my way through the third first time), but I got a better idea of the combination of manoeuvres I had to make each time. My only two critiques would be that the music was too loud and one of the batteries on the second level didn't respawn after I died (the one to the far right of the level). Other than that, nice little platformer!

Nice game, I love the lighting and the idea of using shadows to determine what's real

Right shift instead of left shift and w instead of spacebar makes it a bit challenging at first but that's okay😂

Also, the difficulty curve is quite harsh so maybe more levels and pick it up slowly as you go.


But great job!

I found it counter-intuitive that you are introduced to walljumping, but can't walljump off the edge of a platform, and it was hard for me to sprint before I figured out you're meant to use Right Shift. But! It is a great little game, better than most platformers. Very direct approach to the theme, which makes it an easy 5 stars on theme rating!

I love the particle effects on the player!! Adds a lot to the kind of floaty feel :)

Submitted

This was very cool game. I loved how you tricked me with the fake wall for wall jumping. That was fun. :)

Fun game with nice clean graphics. Great idea for the theme.

Submitted

Great game , really creative idea!

Submitted

I really like to play this game, it gives fun. Its made in creative way, good job

Submitted

I liked the use of the shadows to depict real from fake but quite a steep difficulty curve

Submitted

Overall a funny and well made little puzzle platformer.  I will say it gets pretty difficult pretty fast. But else a good game, and I really loved the music. Well done.
