love that you provided multiple controls (lmb/rmb) for swapping/quacking. i managed to clip out of bounds and fall into the infinite void >:)

Tricky controls seem to be the biggest criticism! As I said in another reply, I'd probably change it to be one color-switching control if I make a new version. As much as I like combining moves for actions, it can be difficult for new players or really anyone who isn't me, the developer.

Yeah, the controls did seem like the biggest thing that might need to change. I went with the current setup because I felt like having 3 separate controls for all of your actions could get confusing, and getting to use the quack action a lot seemed funny. If I ever remake the game, I'll definitely aim for an optimized control scheme.
I can't find exactly what I think you're mentioning, but I'm pretty sure there should be some way out. One of the more important mechanics was that you can switch while jumping or moving in other ways, which I didn't describe the best through the tutorial. With a well-timed switch, you can jump to climb alternating colors or even jump through a wall of the opposite color if you also move sideways.

Oh yeah. There, the best strategy is to either fall twice into the level below and climb back up, or time a jump and switch to go through sideways. Difficult controls, but very rewarding once you learn the timing.
