Invert by sfiq12

[raw]
made by sfiq12 for LD28 (JAM)
Invert is a minimalistic platformer where you, the player, have to navigate through the level with the help of the only "light source", the INVERT square. You only get one of it though, so be careful when navigating through the level.

Hey, it will be great to use invert square more variously. Otherwise, it is good idea, but game is very short also.

@the
Haha sorry about that. I came up with this idea after the Compo deadline. So I had almost no time to further add more to it before the Jam deadline.

Interesting concept, very good for a first LD! Ultimately there isn't a whole lot that you can do with the light cube, which is a bit sad.

The jumping and movement was a bit floaty and fiddly in places. Also, I'm curious why there was music on the secret screen as well as some effects that weren't in the game.

@Eniko I wanted to implement music in the main "game" but since this was a last minute thing, I didn't have time to make a better one

Really like the look of this game, reminds me a bit of those B/W illusion. Good job for achieving this effect!

However collision was buggy :(

@Dir3kt I tried to use layermask for collisions, bad choice though. Planning to recode the player for better

Very nice , But to short and maybe more puzzle.
For your fist LD this is fantastic !
