What a gorgeous and inventive little game. I love the idea that you can't always have everything and have to make do as best you can. Sounds like you're already working on tweaking the camera, so it looks I have more to look forward to soon :)

Very nice aesthetics!
The came isn't best, it's very difficult to see what's happening in front of the cube.

Death Is Only The BeginningSo glad to see that the default cube gets his light! Really fun game and a cool concept. I loved how there really was no way to always win and there was always a restriction on the controls in one way or another.
I would love to see some more infinite runner things like in Temple Run there were those sharp turns or different elevations.
Or give the shooter ability more usability or function.
Super cool and a great game!
PS The colors rocked!

The Purr ReaperCool and fun concept of changing abilities for some variety and different options.
I definitely enjoy the mobile combinations (such as jump and dash) over the immobile combinations (such as Stop and Shoot).
I like the vibrant colors and background.
Great job creating and submitting a game!

Target ShooterNice game. I agree with other comments, camera angle could be better. Also a longer stretch of floor without holes and obstacle at the start of each level would be useful. Often I didn't see the first hole because the cube itself was blocking the view. It would also help to check what the new abilities are for the level before you actually need to use them.

Death is only the beginning!I did not expect to like this game as much as I did. I really liked the limit of 2 abilities at any given moment. I thought it made it really interesting. I think some music and SFX would really help. Also picking up the camera a bit and angling it down would make it a bit easier to see the obstacles. But I'm not certain because it might obscure what you can duck under. At any rate, nice submission!

Event Horizoncamera defo needs some work, is on the todo list =)
SFX are also on the todo list... but music is defo there, so if you heard none, something was not working! It was the first time my jam-buddy ever composed something, and to me it's absolutely magic that people can just make music out of nothing, so the idea he could make different tracks for each power and they all work together in the different combinations is mindblowing (I am xtremely non-musical)
Very pretty. Took me a while to understand when you said you only had 2 abilities at a time, that included the basic movement controls! At first I thought I was in some sort of tutorial that was introducing the controls one at a time.
Very smooth and playable. I was rubbish at it but it wasn't frustrating. I did the best on the level that was just shooting and ducking haha.
Awesome visuals and fun concept!
On the downside, I think the camera position could be better as often I couldn't clearly see what was going on. Crouching is OP :D

The BattlefieldI like the look of the game and I think it could be fun to play but I couldn't get used to the controls swapping constantly. good work though!

Chess Kind OfPlayed and rated.
The visuals are fantastic! However I found it pretty unfun to have controls limited and changing each death, though the concept can give something interesting. Good job making this for the game jam!
Would appreciate if you check out and rate our game as well: https://hadilepanda.itch.io/rise-of-necromancy

Rise of NecromancyGreat game idea! My only suggestion would be to make the camera view a little more overhead as mezzanine510 said. The concept of having different abilities every time you come back is awesome though. I kept getting shoot which was nice, but I barely got jump or left and right, so I kept dying to the holes :)

Cube GameThis looks great! I like the shininess, the particles, the transparencies, great job.
One great addition (yet not an easy one at all) would be to make sure that the level adapts to the movement combination available each time, so the player always has an option. I felt like I would die really quickly if I didn't have a key to move left or right.
Keep at it!

New AwakeningVery aesthetically pleasing game!
It was fun to use different moves in each cycle. My favorite combo was jump/crouch.
However, the holes on the ground are hard to spot from the camera angle. Maybe consider adding something to make them stand out more or a way to move the camera a bit to the side so that perspective can help.
Good game!

Death's DriverCongrats on completing the jam! Very shiny visuals. The camera positioning made it a bit difficult to see/react to jumps. I liked how it mixed things up and you had to work with what you had, even if it was a bit unfair sometimes. I found the music very loud, a volume slider would be awesome.

Happy ClicksGreat Job with the explanation screen in the beginning. As soon as the game began I already knew what I was doing and didn't feel lost. The graphics as well look amazing. But most importantly your game was fun.
