  • Really clever platformer title with a lot of fun jumping puzzles. The theme is rather weak on this one and I would have liked to see more integration with that. Keep up the good work and don't stop making stuff!

Tell us about your game!
I tried to build on the theme in an unexpected way by creating a game with a shadowy atmosphere about climbing a tower by changing its "shape." You can move blocks that are part of the tower, solving puzzles as you go.

The game features subtle storytelling for you to discover who you are while you play. To save at a checkpoint, you need to pay attention to the ashes scattered in the tower, as they are the fuel that activates the checkpoints. Otherwise, you’ll have to start from the beginning if you die.

This game rewards exploration... I can even say that you can't finish it without exploring. Just pay attention to your surroundings, and if you can see it, it means you can reach it.

Control-wise, you jump with SPACE, walk with A/D or the Arrow Keys, and move the blocks by holding G and using the movement keys. Additionally, you can manually flip the player with S or the Down Arrow Key and reset that part of the level with R.

There’s also a secret mechanic you can use on the walls... like, I don't know, jumping xD.
