Was awaiting for the troll moment, but where was it o.o
Liked the simplistic design of the game, maybe some elevator music next time? ;)

Nice simple fun game. Some feedback, maybe have it so that when you go on the green square it advances to the next stage? Also I think it needs to be faster pace, and I think music/sound effects would go a long way with this.

I'm not sure what it is, but something about screwing up and watching my little cube get a layer of dirt thrown on top of him (and sometimes the physics glitch out and the cube flies of the screen when it happens) made me laugh out loud every time I lost. Not many games can do that, I think! I like how the dirt bounces at each level, and I think some cheeky sound effects would go great with that.

It's actually rather cool that you can move around on the title screen, because it gives you time to figure out how to move before you start, although it's not very obvious that you have to click "PLAY!" to start, because it doesn't look like a clickable button. It's also cool that the high score persists between play sessions, not a lot of jam games do that.

The movement mechanic is surprisingly fun at first, but gets boring pretty quickly because once you figure out how it works well enough, you can pretty much keep going indefinitely. I think making the game gradually speed up or adding some kind of obstacle would turn it into a much more fun challenge.

Really fun concept, gets a little repetitive over time. Could definitely benefit from some music.

Cool concept & use of the theme! Interesting challenge to try and wrap my head around the controls. Got to 20 or so before losing - a lot of that was just staying on the same square, so fixing that might help with the difficulty curve a bit. Some more visual stuff in the background to indicate your height would be really cool here too. Nice work!

Small technical note - AFAIK the pdbs shouldn't be necessary to include in the zip as they're just debug info.

The controls are disorientating at first, but once we understand how it works, the game because easy, but fun and quite.. relaxing ? Anyway, simple game with and working concept, good job ^^
