Very nice. Sometimes waiting around for the changes felt a little slow. Stylish graphics! Nice detail. Great minimalistic music.

Fun to play. :) But I quit at the level where you have to do those 3 huuge jumps. Never managed to get the 3rd. D:

I liked very much the graphics and music, very good polishing. got just a little frustrated when I had to jump and there was something blocking me right on top of me so I could not ascend.. apart from that I really liked it though

cool game! I love how the style of the graphics and music complement each other, and the level exit effect looks cool as hell! It would be nice if the post-compo version controlled the power with something else besides waiting though :)

Cool game and idea. The waiting felt slow sometimes but maybe I'm just impatient!

Wow! Nicely polished game and great use of the theme. Graphics and music fit perfectly. Sometimes having to wait for 10 seconds over and over again can be frustrating. But I guess that makes the game even more addictive.

Well polished game. Just one small nitpick: I was hoping that there'd be more time-related puzzles and less standing and waiting for the ten seconds to end.

Good stuff, though I gave up on the level with the long jump. Controls feel a touch sticky/laggy, I must say. Regardless, it's a pretty nice puzzle platformer you have going. Dug the retro pixel graphics too. :)

Awesome. I really enjoyed the style. The main character looks like someone from a Gary Larson comic.

I like that you used Matt Thorson's Ogmo Editor haha. Oh and your game was also really neat ;)

Very stylish and nice presentation. I have to agree that waiting for things to turn on/off was slow.

Very neat mechanics! The need to use the 10 seconds switch to progress is really clever. Everything is very well polished, including graphics, music/sound and game play!
I like this game a lot! =)

When I managed to find out, how it works, it was really fun. As well I think the music fits well. Just the third level was unproportional hard for me.

The character is great! He depicts the simplicity of the whole game. I also liked the music and the level transition effect. The timer feels a bit too long, 10 seconds waiting for the door to open can make a casual player leave the game. I was switching tabs to look for more games in those 10 seconds.

Excellent, but the 10 second transition time seemed a bit long on some levels.

Cool platformer! love the zoom-in at the end. Music fits really well too.

I had some trouble in the jump-upward-segment. The missing headspace made jumping reaaaally tricky
