The game is definitely a cool take on the theme, but it is difficult to control at times. When using the arrow keys to shift abilities and using A/D to move, it felt hard to coordinate my hands for seemingly simple jumps. Maybe if W/S were used to switch abilities as well, then it could be easier to use? Hard to say.

But still, the concept of the game could be the basis for some tricky puzzles. Would like to see that!

graphics were really nice, and the idea was a good idea for the theme, but like- it kind of feels like a regular platform game but a bit more fiddly and frustrating. 

also playing on keyboard, pressing shift really hurt my pinky. 

I wish the pony carried more momentum  on releaseing the key

overall though, really good for the time and stuff :)

Really cute game, and the idea is very original, however I found it quite frustrating that the pony doesn't stop as soon as you let go of a button (in move mode) so I ended up falling off of platforms all the time. :| Also the fact that you have to press two buttons at once to switch abilities made it very difficult (for me at least) to switch abilities and once I did get it I wasn't able to use that ability in time (such as jumping then switching to move then moving). However, the game was still enjoyable and very cute, so well done (especially for 48 hours!) :D

This is cute (love the pony) and fun to play but dang my fingers get tangled on the keys. Switching tricks is a part of the puzzle aspect and instructions are shown on the game page. Holding shift to slow time is great and I like this it brings up the UI for the abilities too. I think I need a controller though..cause I'm lazy lol 

no UI made it hard to know how to switch the one ability.  Tried every key and mouse position then gave up

Controls take a bit to get used to but by holding shift you can slow time a bit and it turns the game into something like a puzzle platformer and I really liked it.
