The game's simple with the graphics, and the gameplay mechanics is somewhat unique :D

Solid platforming, that's one nice, satisfying jump you have there!

Interesting, fun and beautiful, good job! You could just smooth a bit the player movement and the gameplay would be perfect

Liked the style- and the difficulty curve. You can kinda cheat on level nine jumping over the first black block, unless that's what you're supposed to do. :D

Nice idea (:
Few little things could be improved to help the player understand what is going on, thus making the game more fun:
- put an indication (arrow) when picking a box will change gravity, and in which direction
- indicate deadly pit with maybe spikes or circular saw.. something deadly. because sometimes, because of scolling you don't know it's a deadly pit.
- being able to zoom out so you can plan your action ahead to solve the puzzle
- when you are in reversed gravity, maybe jumping with down arrow instead of up

Cool puzzler overall (:

Platforming stripped to the basics, and some nice mechanics implemented.

Great job! :)

Very clever level design. It took me a little while to really understand the mechanics, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the game. Overall, great job!

Very very good. Only gripe is the sound(s) but I feel foolish even mentioning it. Great work!

Cool idea. The platforming mechanics need a bit of tightening up, but other than that it's solid. Well done!
