I really like the puzzle idea and music/visuals, too bad it has just 2 levels - i would've gladly played more.

One annoyance though is that there is a huge (like ~1 second) delay between landing and when i can jump again. Its sad when i fall of and have to re-run everything just because the jump button didn't work when i wanted to.

Sometimes character does not jump even if im on ground it probably doesnt sees if character is grounded or not.
it is great puzzle game nothing to do with sacrificing but still great platfromer. nice entry Good job keep it up.

This could have been a really great game if it was longer. Sadly 2 levels are a not quite enough to really start playing. But it's a neat concept, and I really liked the lighting!

Very cool idea. I love the SFX and the music. The graphics are really sweet. Shame it is so short! Great work

@xorboo @tolga yes I am aware of this, personally even I find it annoying but I wasn't able to find an effective way to check for grounded..I tried many things but it just wasn't fixed. But thank you for reviewing :)

@drikdrok level design was tricky to do since I had never focused on that aspect of it before and this is actually my first puzzle game so i had no experience of how the levels can be. T
hank you for playing :)

This was was a really good game, with some great music and pretty graphics. More levels would have been great. But overall a good LD game.

Love the visuals and the music fits very well. Reminds me a bit of Thomas Was Alone. But like others have said, very short and can't see the connection to the theme. And the jump delay was a bit annoying. Still a very good job!

Loved the art style. So different from the rest keep going like this!

This is great for what it is. Too bad it couldn't be longer. However, the mechanic felt great and had a lot of potential. The music also did a great job at fitting the game play. Nice job!

@harshyyness you can check for Physics2D.OverlapCircle for jumping it works well on platformers.

Nice game! I really like how polished it looks, those simple animations really made the stuff feel more alive, too bad there were only two levels, I'd love to play and complete more levels! I could see this being turned into a full game someday! Good job!

Nice concept, I like the puzzle aspect but it was quite short. I wish it was longer :)
The controls are slightly unresponsive sometimes but the game idea is cool! Good Luck

The atmosphere is really great. The game is so short though! I like the game mechanics, but the jumping has an annoying cool down, which annoys me when i have to wait 2 seconds on every platform till i can do my next move. Great game though, would have liked to play more.

It's too short! Make more levels please, I like the way that switches works.

@lazertrax i believe only jump key must be unresponsive, i was having troubles detecting whether the character is grounded. Thank you for playing :)

It's a good start, the graphics are simple but very pleasing to the eye, the ground movement feels very snappy and good, though as mentioned by other people already, the jumping was unresponsive and losing all momentum when touching the ceiling was mildly annoying.

I like idea. About controls, sometimes jump didnt work, and after you release move button, player is stops immediately, in air sometimes hard to move. Overall, i like it, good job!

Good sound effecs, really neat simple graphics with added effects. The concept was fun, the gameplay solid, and I (like others) wish there had been more to explore. Nice work.

Game has a potential, it looks very interesting! :D I wish you add more levels, it will be really funny to play longer :D

Really nice game .. and player graphics seems to be inspired by Thomas game !!! Controls are also responsive and nice ..You can make this game a little longer with really witty levels.. Great work !!

Nice and beautiful game with a good potential!
VFXs and lighting are great!
Hope you will keep working on it after the jam. This game definitely needs more levels

This has only two levels, right? It's a shame because you got something unique here. The style is cool (even the strange character with the triangle-face) and so the musfic/sfx. You can do lots of levels with this interesting mechanics, so don't give up! Good work! :)

Very nice idea, the music + the graphics are simple but give your game a good vibe, keep the good work. However, as many already said, your controller (or rather the jump) definitely needs to be improved, especially for a platformer like this.
Improve your controller, give your game more levels and you'll have a really nice game there.
