Cool concept, took me a while to wrap my head around what was happening but once i figured it out managed to easily complete the puzzles.

I can't really offer any proof myself, but I assure you there's no fishy business going on here!

An interesting concept that was fun to play. I especially liked it when you went forwards a layer but kept your small size allowing you to fit through a small gap. Adding a slightly larger detection for if you are on the ground could make the game feel slightly better. it can also be hard to see where you are on the later levels when there are 3 layers.

This is a super cool concept for a game! Navigating each level was really cool. I was a bit confused on the green level as some of the backgrounds were confusing on what could be interacted with, but all the other levels were awesome!
