Fun platformer, great use of that single mechanic in a really elegant way. 

And graphics are great! Well done :))

Thank you!

Great level design. Simple and fun! I would prefer to player move with platforms. Solid and polished game. Teleporting mechanic was smooth with sound and visual effects you nailed it. Good Job!

Developer

Thanks!

That was fun. I liked almost every bit of the game, except the fact that i have to move with the floating platforms. Maybe it was intended this way but it was hart for me. But still one of the best i played so far.

Developer

Thank you very much!

simple and minimalistic, but it's detail level designed, overall its a cool game , and i love how cute the character is lol

Developer

Thanks! :)

Loved it. The graphics are great, the music is awesome and so are the controls. I just had a problem to see the theme in the game. But it's still an amazing game.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! My idea for the theme was that portals are "holes" in the universe.

Submitted

Ah, got it

Probably the best game to test a speed-runner. Zipping between portals feels very awesome, as does the sound effect which comes when zipping between portals. Graphics are amazing as well. Well done overrall :)

Developer

Thank you! Yeah speed-running  it is fun. My best time is 4 minutes. But that's because I tested every little piece of the levels as I made them :)

Developer

Thanks! :)

Really fun mechanics, I had a lot of fun playing this. It would be fun if  player character would following moving platforms.

Developer

Thank you!

That was a nice take from all the black holes in this jam, I really enjoyed your game, plus it makes for a great speedrun contender, tho I would not be a contender for this with 20 minutes on the clock lol. Congrats!

Developer

Thank you very much! 20 minutes is pretty good :)

Nice design and idea. Loved the gameplay but the enter key is not a good choice for teleport.

Developer

Thank you! Yeah i'll change that.

Really cool puzzle designs!  It is fun using the teleport pothole. Great ideas here! I like your pixel art style!  If you work on it some more add a parallax background, would look awesome with this game!  Moving platforms are hard to code, i did it once.  It works if you make the character a child of the object when it OnEnterTrigger2d and then leaves the parent OnExit~~ Keep it up~ Great job submitting a game to the jam! Please check out mine when you have time :)

Developer

Thank you! Thanks for the feedback.

Really clever game. Well put together and fun!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! :)

The game looks really good. But there a few bugs and also would be nice that you added a pointer of some sort to show where are you teleporting.

Developer

Thank you! Yes, perhaps I could make it so when you press a button you can see where you'll end up if you teleport.

Submitted(+1)

I really like how well this is put together! I did get the error others have on level 4. Also the first time I tried it I couldn't teleport up. Restarting the game fixed that as well. Very nice use of solid platforming and theme! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Yeah if you get any bugs restarting the game normally fixes them.

Submitted(+1)

This is so fun and challenging. The control is simple and smooth.

Art style is also well done. But I don't like the music, the droning sound is a little annoying.

If the character could stick with the moving platforms would be much more better.

Good job!

Developer

Thank you! Yes I have gotten a lot of comments about the platforms. If I work on this further that will probably be the first thing I fix.

great puzzles , i love platformers and yours is one of the best in the jam , good work!

Developer

Thank you!

The game feel is excellent in this one! Using the portals was a nice idea, too. I like difficult platformers, but it was a ~little~ bit too precise here, felt unfairly difficult at a few points. It took me more than 200 deaths to beat, a large chunk of them from trying to hit the very last trampoline. I also got stuck inside the wall at that point:

The graphics and audio are good, the main character reminds me of the game "Forager". I really wish the character would move with the platforms though, it was a bit tedious having to keep tapping left/right to stay on it. I would have preferred to use portals with some other key, like Z or K. Nitpicks aside, it's very well made jam game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much!Thanks for all the great feedback. As for the bugs, restarting the game will fix most of them. 200 deaths actually isn't that bad of a score :)

Really great platformer and I like the teleport mechanic a lot. This could definitely be built out to be a larger more complex game, great work!

Developer

Thank you very much! :)
