YOGOPlatform by uchiro
Platform game with one platform.
Goal to reach purple ball (was supposed to be on the speed).
You can at any time to destroy the platform, and at any time can create a platform.
Control:
WASD - movement
Space - Jump and create a platform if you are already in the air.
r - restart
Pink primitives killed.
Green primitives are not allowed to put the platform.
Goal - to get to the purple ball on time.

It's a very innovative design that turns into an overly-difficult game. Having the platform disappear after a short time is a feature that could have been left out!
I like the music and the mood and especially the clean graphical look.
-If the platform is destroyed after a certain time give clear visual/audio feedback as to when this will happen and then again when it does happen.
-There is no info that the mouse looks. I did not realize this for several levels.
-Sometimes I could not place another platform. Indicate why both in info and with audio/visual feedback. If it is because I am inside an area that prevents me, indicate this on screen with a palette swap or something else.
-When I place a platform play an positive sound.
-If I try to place a platform but cannot, indicate this with a negative sound.
Just a few ideas I have off the top of my head. Hope they help. (Did not play the post-compo version, so maybe some of these are addressed.)
The problem with the sound to create a platform that it will be repeated too often and it can annoy.
And yes, I've highlighted color when the platform can't be placed.
But what to do with feedback no idea yet
Jump and create under a platform to get to the purple ball on the speed.
Learning how to play is difficult, though.
I wish the platform did not disappear by itself. If it only disappeared when I pressed [space] mid-air, it would be easier to start the game.
Also, it seems I cannot create a platform if I walk off the platform. This is very confusing at first. Maybe the graphics can change, to let me know if I am allowed to create a platform? Alternatively, maybe you could allow the player to create the platform even if they walk off instead of jump off?
Anyway, an interesting entry!
In post-compo version of the platform, you can create even if the fall with her
