Very nice game all around. The graphics and music/sound effects set the mood perfectly. It's a bit tricky to figure out what to do but once you do it's pretty fun.

I loved this, the perspective changes were really cool to see. Nice, short and sweet. Great job on this!

Nice work! Some cool level design there to fit with the neat mechanic. I like that you hid a few easter eggs around too :)

Also the music was great!

Really cool mechanic and great music. Good entry. For a platformer the character felt a little bit light when jumping.

Great, like the art style and the music. Also like the level design, it fits the game mechanics. Could use some pigs though :)

The mechanics are what makes this game so cool, the art, sounds and everything else fits very well the main concept of the game, great job !

I really like the use of rotations to get through the levels, although I'm not quite sure what happened when I used that spazzy computer with the little person telling me to "get out".

Wow, just wow, amazing game with unique concept and fun gameplay. Graphics and sounds are neat and reminds me some of the older games. I managed to finish it, it was fun, but I think a bit too easy. Great Job!

Really nice game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 39 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upb0aA4TPRk

Really nice game! I love how it starts with a leap of faith! :scream:

The graphics and sound are on point and sets the mood really well.

The only critique I have is that jumping up on "stairs" seems to glitch a little (the character jerks a bit downwards). and I managed to fall off the map two times.. then spent 20 minutes trying to gif it :D

haha I havent seen that yet :D I was wondering how long it would take for someone to "break" the level and you are the first one to do it as far as I know

Very good game! I like it. The one point that I want to mention is the theme. Did't find any matches to the theme of the game. Everything else is a creepy and fun! :thumbsup:

Great use of graphics and audio. I think whilst I LOVE the rotating mechanic... the most subtle thing was the beginning. Really liked that seamless introduction from menu to game. Well done.

Here is my playtest of your game: https://youtu.be/OAPpNOM8370?t=6m45s

I really liked the music! Very cool! The turning of the world when you hit the switches was a great idea and I really liked the atmosphere! There was however some problem with the fall speed. It seems like the gravity sometimes didn't reset after you landed. The jump could also maybe have been a little less floaty. Other than that, very nice job really enjoyed playing it!

Guys, one of the best games I've seen here so far! Simple but a very very good work. I love the music and the rotating mechanic. Congrats.

This is great! The rotation mechanic was fun and interesting. I really liked the way you start the game, too.

That was an awsome game! The character kinda reminds me of Link...

The graphics were great, the music was awsome, and the main mechanic was suprizing and great! I really liked it!

The gameplay felt solid, the transitions felt great and it's a great game in general!

I can't find any problems to mention, so I'll just leave it to the chicken overlord! Well made!
