Ever since, this type of diabolical switch puzzle has been my Achille's Kryptonite. I gave you lots of points for music, since yours was the first good LD24 song that I've heard, but I have to be honest and say that I couldn't figure out how to beat the second stage. Also, I'm have a time machine, but I can't jump over lava??? Just kidding. Player sprite was cool, wish he had a two-frame animation though. Good work!"},{"author_name":"Mamick","author_uid":"15144","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 5:24am","epoch":1346044740,"text":"A bit easy, but fun anyway.

Maybe you could make movement continue when the button is held in a post-compo version? :)"},{"author_name":"josefnpat","author_uid":"11249","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 9:26pm","epoch":1346102460,"text":"Nice game.

I personally am not a fan of games like this, but I can see for someone who is into the genre it would be really interesting, especially with the switches.\r\rReally nice effort."},{"author_name":"Benjamin","author_uid":"2952","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 9:57pm","epoch":1346104320,"text":"nice puzzles. The level 2 have much better designe than the others. The move animation slide is rather unusual, I think linear interpolation would make it more 'classic'."},{"author_name":"madpew","author_uid":"2196","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 10:00pm","epoch":1346104500,"text":"some badies would have made this more interesting. sounds and music are good, graphics as well. the continous tapping is a bit boring. besides to that, well done!"},{"author_name":"imef","author_uid":"9591","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 11:02pm","epoch":1346108220,"text":"Fun to play.

Also got tiring having to mash the arrow each time to move a space.

In fact it felt pretty polished. The music was a bit repetitive and became slightly annoying after a while. I think the level design could do with a bit of work: It was hard to approach the third level logically since you couldn't even see the goal until you'd already spent a while flipping switches, and randomly faffing seemed to be about as effective as any systematic approach. I found the controls slightly annoying to (would have been good if just holding down an arrow key kept you moving in the same direction). The fundamentals are there for a great game though, with some more thoughtful level design."},{"author_name":"Misfit","author_uid":"10677","time":"Sep 14, 2012 @ 6:51pm","epoch":1347648360,"text":"Great audio.

I can tell it's kinda based on the gridlocked player tutorial.
