This was a hell of an game! Very difficult. It's like keyboard twister!

Nice game, I made it to 62 before my brain got too confused.

Played this through multiple times, and way too much for my brain to handle!  I did get stuck a bit with buttons mapping to U/V, in the font they're really similar. 

All the minigames were smooth and instantly understandable, so it gave space for the main mechanic.  Really well pulled off!

46 points! I really like the idea and execution. Changing genres really gives it a fresh take as well :)

Amazingly simple yet extremely well executed idea! The fact that you get to mentally prepare for your keyboard change is great, the camera slowly tilting and constantly changing levels lends perfectly into the hecticness and eventually you're using both hands just to move, a normally taken-for-granted control. Well done! The only thing I'd like to see is some sort of warning before the level change, but that's a nitpick!

OK, this one is amazing. When the game said it'll switch up controls I though you'd swap some buttons, but remapping it over the entire keyboard caught me off guard a bit :D

Really good aesthetic overall; only the music can get a little repetitive, but that's not really a huge problem.

There's going to be a lot of games in this jam where your controls change. This, I think, is one that's doing it right. Having the game change is very smart, especially since some of the games only use some of the controls. The count-in for when the controls will change is great, and I'm surprised there's not also a count-in for switching games, as the input meaning changes dramatically between games. Visually it's very nice looking, and the music is adequate. I like that it rotates too, not sure why...

I think the one game where the spike balls fall on you is a little too hard when they're only one space apart, the controls aren't quite tight enough to fit slimey into so small a space so regularly. 

Nice work!

This was really fun! Changing the game that you're doing  helps keep the game feeling fresh and unlearning muscle memory is a challenge. Great polish too!

This is a really fun and challenging game, it's very polished and made me stop and think a few times about where keys were on the key board. The lights changing colors is a nice touch but makes some screens harder to see, instead of rotating colors, it could be fun to have the color pallet change every life or something. Nice game and good luck!

This deserves more ratings! it's really polished for a game jam game, it's not overly ambitious and it does what it wants to well. Good job :D

High score: 53

A really cool game idea! Would love to play this on console with a controller, in multiplayer. Maybe a duelling game with this idea, or a wario ware style game with mini-games like this one.

Nice, especially the presentation.

Haha great concept! (made me realize i'm a bad typer haha XD) It was fun changing keys, and the UI that popped up to tell the next key was awesome!!  It definitely made the slime guy feel out of control. Very unique mechanic idea!  You should work on it some more after the jam.  Perhaps save the rotating levels until farther in the game, when they rotated my brain exploded haha. Awesome job submitting a cool/unique game to the jam! Please check out my game when you have time :D

Excellent presentation and variety of mini-games !

Fun game very challenging and has a nice art style!

Making the hitbox slightly more forgiving would improve on this experience a lot, otherwise, it was very fun!

Submitted(+2)

Really great graphics and idea! It feels a little bit too easy to die with the hit boxes, but otherwise great!

Submitted(+2)

Man this is hard. I keep dying and I don't know why!
