This game shows how much you've improved since your last one (of at least, how much effort you've put into this one). One of my favourites so far!

Very interesting concept! You managed to make the solid block graphics look good. Level 3 was too hard for me, one mistake and you have to go all the way back. Is there a level skip feature? The controls are really two-handed, so I suggest moving the color switch keys to the right (for example, J/K/L)

I've used the cursor keys now, and that works better. I'm glad I tried again. The levels get more interesting after level 3. I got to level 7 this time.

Personal (well, personal enough) idea. Graphics are rather simple, but no one plays games only for graphics, right?

Cool game, nice concept. Got annoyed when I fell in the stage going from right to left with the staircase on right and multiple blocks going left. If I missed it was quite a long walk back. Other than that was pretty cool to play and had some nice visuals.

Really nice. I was surprised at just how hard it could be to try to balance the color changing while jumping around.

Interesting concept.
It was a little annoying to start at the beginning each time.
The game itself feels a little bit slow because I had to look at the top right before each puzzle.

I really like the puzzles where you have to have just the right timing, with the spikes. This was a really interesting concept, a very fun game, and overall very pretty to look at, well done! :)

Really good game with its length and challenging mechanic but not very original idea with color change. I enjoyed a lot playing :)

Decent game, but the levels were too lengthy and difficult, making me give up on level 3. >.<

Pretty humorous.
I like the wavy screen effect, and I definitely like the color mechanic.
The music is alright. Don't forget sound effects next time!

However, the controls aren't very solid. Acceleration is too slow and jumping isn't variable (release jump key to stop the jump). Also, you can glitch through blocks by jumping into them when they're transparent, then switch to the right world and you'll usually get pushed upwards. Maybe it's on purpose?

Some of the puzzles become more difficult than they need to be because of these control issues.

Overall though it's quite cool.

Great idea and a nice game! Very Thomas was alone-y, I like it! I would have liked some sound effects though, they make actions (like jumping) feel a lot better!

Nice concept! Some of the jumps in the later levels where real hard. Too bad about that potato salad :P

Really great audio, the puzzles were also very fun altough it has an average implementation of the theme. Overall a very solid entry.

(and I really cant stop wondering to which dimension did the potato salad go...)
