Great timing on when the rotations started! I had just gotten comfortable and thought "well, I guess I got the hang of this" when, WHAM, the orientation changes. I kept playing after that to see what came next... although I never got much farther...

First of all, thanks for playing! Small insight in the jumping issue: if you press the jump-button before the player is registered as being 'on the ground' it will refuse to jump, even after you've landed. This, combined with a tendency in players to try to jump slightly before having landed, means that it'll seem like the game is refusing to let you jump. If given another go at it this would definitely be on top of the list for changes :').

Quick update regarding this, due to the voting for the GMTK Game Jam I won't be able to update the existing files. The game should be playable in the browser, but sadly I'll have to wait till the end of this week to add the Linux and Mac build, apologies for that.
I played the game far longer than I had anticipated! :) I didn't feel like I could perfectly transfer my intent to the jump/movement of the cube, essentially the controls were slightly limiting. Apart from that the simple challenge of jumping around while confusingly spinning was very challenging. Really like it! The graphics we're a bit hard on the eyes, but not too much. Ok!
* Edit: Top score: 
Thanks for playing the game! Graphics were (and still are) quite the tricky thing so it was a tradeoff between getting the desired confusing effect vs. making it somewhat painfull to look at. Honestly not quite sure at which end of the spectrum this has fallen and whether or not it's the right one :')
