I really liked this game, but unfortunately I got caught up in the same bug as the previous commenter. The art was fantastic and really evocative, and the gameplay had enough depth to keep me interested. Good job!

I very much enjoyed the game, sadly it broke for me though;
Also perhaps something to change would be the pause it does after you hit a red valve. If you're going to force players to fall to a certain spot, I don't think you need that pause in there. Just bounce 'em back and let them fall to the spot you want them to.
The reason for this being; If you're supposed to rotate during pause, but you can't do it there, it feels inconsistent.
And second reason it's an inconsistency that feels like a needless hassle that can just be taken out. Or at least in the final version :D
Aside from that some small points. The contrast at the start was hard for me to see. And perhaps add a smoother rotation. It's a nicety that shows some polish and is of course very pleasing to the eye.
All in all, a solid entry and nice game. Keep it up!
Oh yeah, that would be very true. But since pause is kindoff the 'go' mechanic of the game it's a bit reverse :p ?
Plus it seems so far all the places you bounce the player back to are static places anyway, so they're pretty safe as is :3
And yeah, playtesting is always the most valuable thing you can get! :D
Fun concept that reminds me of those labyrinth marble games. There were a few "blind" drops where I'd have to commit to a movement since you can only pause when you're touching something and it would drop me straight into a hazard I couldn't see beforehand. Additionally, I think an indicator of where you should generally be going for each checkpoint would be nice. I think when you first go "outside" there's also some support structs that have no collision that kinda threw me off. Finally, I think I accidentally soft-locked the game when I mashed space while it was resetting my position. Overall the game was pretty fun and I enjoyed it.
