Clever gameplay.
It's simple, but challenging :)
However, it really feels like you tried to force a design that probably needs at least 3 buttons into a 2 button control scheme rather than building a game that works best with 2 buttons.
Up to level 3, you can roll your way up the walls.
Level 4 is the level where you either quit, or find out about the undocumented control.
Finished all 8 levels, number 7 gave me so much trouble haha, but it's awesome.
While playing i imagined i was some kind of little spaceship flying through a cave or something. I think this game could do really well if you add a few more mechanics to it!
- Controls feel wonderful and responsive
- Well designed and effective levels
- Simple but nice visual style
- Runs very well in the browser
What could be improved (IMO):
- An explanation of how there are actually three ways to push the controls would be nice (took me a while to figure it out)
- More levels (of course this is unreasonable given the time restriction, but there's so much potential here).
Excellent work.
