Cool idea, nice music.

I keep making mistakes and switching to the wrong color :D

I did not feel rage or lust but I am commenting anyway.

I started with almost the same idea, except using orange/purple etc for mixed colors. parallax is a much better implementation. I didn't like having to cycle through colors and its clunkiness is part of why I abandoned the idea. No way around that, though. Everything else is extremely well done here. I enjoyed it a lot. And yeah, music was awesome.

Wow that was amazing! I got stuck on the part where you have to jump and change color but wow that was fun! I gave you a super high score. I think you could've had a better thumbnail pic though.

This game made me chuckle several times, mostly while falling off the screen. I liked the music and the concept.

I came to your game for all the wrong reasons - but definitely the best game i've see so far

This is pretty cool! I've seen color-switching mechanics like this plenty of time before, but here you really work it into the aesthetic of the level in a cool way.

It is pretty challenging, but doesn't feel impossible, which is good. So far I've only made it to world 2.

Only complaint is the control layout feels a bit funny to me - i think i'd rather use WASD to run and jump and the other hand to switch colors.

Overall really good though, well done!

@Cake_Catastrophe you can play using the arrow keys also.

This is a great game! The mechanics are interesting and the implementation was very smooth.

It's a really good idea and it's really well realised. It's really fun!
By the way, I found an exploit. If in world 1 you switch colors while you are in the rising fase of a jump, you can make that jump way bigger and exit out of the level borders(for example I used it to walk on top of a roof).

Thanks for pointing that out @Denisre3. I'll work on getting that fixed.

Nice idea. The I personally didn't find the transition mechanics quite responsive but the puzzles were fair and really fun!
Also, get a PC.

I like the music and the game play is interesting (though I did have troubles being colour blind).

Good idea and usage of theme, well done platforming that requires quite bit of finger dexterity. Perhaps the character could have been little more floaty to make it slightly easier.

Wow, this is really nice indeed. Great concept and a nice experience. Also, the jump animation is really megaman-ish, and I like that!

I have accomplished the first level and I can say you have created something new. This entry is very creative. design can be improved, but yet I like this project. One of my favorites for the LD30. Well done ++

Hi there. Really nice implementation of this idea. Good puzzles and level 0-1, reached start of 0-2 then my platforming abilities (bad) let me down... Nice sounds and graphics/animations. Good job!

One of my favorites so far. Pure simple mechanics, but very mind-bending and nerve-wracking.

Music so good. Had me jamming the game a while.

Great core mechanic. A bit annoying that you used a perspective camera since it made it harder to judge the jumps.

Really nice interpretation of the theme! The game was quite hard, but it was easy to learn. The music was really good, nice work!
