How does your game fit the theme?
In this platformer, you play as the platform, incorporating the theme "roles reversed" by swapping the classic designations of player and platform. Enjoy!

What a fun idea. I really liked the levels with multiple platforms to control.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Very smooth animations!
My brain can't see this as "moving the platforms", but as a platformer where I control the cubes but with inverted controls.
In the later levels the concept really works though, it becomes a cool puzzle instead of just platforming.
Thanks for the feedback! My design "philosophy" (if you can call it that for a jam game) changed as I was making the levels, and I'm glad that you liked the more puzzle game aspects of it near the end. Thanks for playing!
Rereading it my comment came off as more negative than I intended. It's a great game, the only problem was that it just messed with my head because it's so unlike regular plaformers
What an interesting concept! A quick good time. I would only work a bit on the order of the levels - Level 5 was far harder than the following ones! :) (at least for me :D)
Thanks for the feedback! A lot of people seem to have had trouble with Level 5, so I'll try to smooth out the difficulty curve post-jam. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Interesting concept. Salute to your dedication!
Thanks!
the gameplay is fun, I liked the progression of the game, very gradual, easier to learn intuitively.
This is very well polished and pretty fun and interesting, level 9 took a bit of trial and error, but I eventually got a clear goal down and beat the game! Good work!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I played this as if I was playing as the tethers instead of the world, which just made my controls reversed :p
Level 9 was pretty mind bending, but really, this was not much different from a basic platformer all things considered
Thanks for the feedback! I'll have to find a way to make it clearer that it's the platform moving.
I think it's mostly a problem of the camera moving so much, if the camera and tethers were static, then it would be very clear that you are moving as the world
