Loved the art style. Really liked the hop swap mechanics and the music was good too.  Great work!!

Very nice art style and cool idea! I guess my only criticism would be the character being too heavy I guess? Sometimes it messed with my jumps, especially wall jumps. But it was fun!

This is really cool and challenging, I liked the game a lot.

The game is nice, I just love such minimalism, BUT where is the relevance to the theme?

Developer

you don't have to follow the theme, only the limitation. the theme is purely optional.

Submitted

I already got it :/

the first room after the tutorial is the hardest in the game, i quit it the first time i played it cause i thought the dev made a mistake lol but i beat it on my second playthrough.

Wow, one of the most polished jam games I've ever played! The platforming, the music, the particle effects, the art...everything was a cut above what you would expect given such a short time to make a game. I honestly think you have the start of a real, honest-to-goodness game here! Outstanding work!

I loved the concept of this game, and it was really fun, UNTIL... i got to the top spike jumps. this was just to hard for me, and i feel the skill floor was 2 levels above me. even with easy mode it was to difficult. Had to doc a few points there, but overall, I loved the use of the limitation and concept! Exelent game deservative of top 5

I like this game very much, the art, music, controls feel great! sadly I just could not get passed the "wall jump over spikes" part. Might just be my lack of experience with platformers, but the difficulty jumped up a little too high for me I'm afraid. Still quite enjoyed trying.

Developer

thanks for the kind words! did you try to play it on easy mode?

Really amazing use of limitation and concept! loved this one!

Submitted(+1)

Damn I really loved this one, graphics and sound are amazing! Concept of block swaping is good.

Took some time to complete this game, little struggle with control jump especially on level when you should press your jump button like 0.3 seconds in order to complete the screen, but I managed to do it all by myself.

Nice work.

The player feel really squishy and fun to move around! The difficulty curve is kinda high but I liked it. Good job!

Very polished game! Definitely on the harder side, but I managed to beat it in normal mode. How in the world you could make so many levels in such a short time is beyond me hehe, this is something I really need to improve for my jam games. Great job with it, it's visually gorgeous and the mechanics are sound!

Developer (1 edit)

tysm! the reason i was able to make so many levels is because i have no life lol

Developer

for anyone getting stuck at a segment for a long time, try going back to main menu and pressing select or tab to activate easy mode

Submitted(+1)

Very fun game, but I couldn't beat it because brain small. Also the characters remind me of Macho Legs Cat from The Battle Cats.

This game works really fun! Though I don't know how to get past the first challenge (the one with the spikes and the changing blocks) I think I just might be missing an easier way but it feels too precise, but that's not going to take away from my score.  The presentation is fantastic too and environmentally is very nice with cozy music. 

Developer

thanks for playing, my main fear was people getting stumped there lol

Submitted

is it tight platforming or is there a solution I'm not seeing?

Developer(+1)

it's pretty tight but i think it's possible lol (this is me doing it on keyboard but i recommend using a controller)
Submitted

Oh damn that's tight! Yeah I definitely think that should have been a later puzzle, my enjoyment of the good mechanics was a bit limited by this difficulty spike

Developer(+2)

i've added an easy mode, activate it by pressing select or tab in the main menu

I was able to continue past the spike part, and wow, the platform changing with the current color is creative, I like it


(You should add that to the controls on the game page)
