This game is really cool! Aside from the sometimes weird physics and the 'I don't know what to do' moments when you enter a new area I really liked it. The diverging paths are great if you get stuck on a hard part of the game. Feels like you are inside a giant machine with all these moving parts. :) Played till the end.

Cool game ! Only "problem" for me being that i can't predict where the next platform will go on the first run.

I liked the multiple path options and simple controls! Although it was a little disorienting that sometimes up moved platforms down and vice versa. Overall great work!

This game gave me a lot of fun, but it's really hard with just two buttons controlling that... Some kind of giant machine! Graphics are simple but nice, good idea with that red trace. You did a good job with inventing all that "mechanism" I really enjoyed playing it!

A beautiful entry with some great audio. It is a little difficult at first.

This game is too hard for me :') Anyway, even if the physics are quite strange sometimes, it's well-made ^^ Good job ^^

This is the most interesting games I've played so far (out of 15). Also very hard and challenging. Awesome job, congratulations!

Really interesting concept. Quite disturbing to not know in advance how will move the platforms. Great audio, btw !

Awesome game, very difficult though and not always in a good way.
I think things would feel more "fair" and less random if platforms only moved in the direction you were pushing. Something rushing up when you push down (sometimes) is confusing.
Not sure if that would work, but hey...

But I enjoyed it nonetheless, cool idea.

Awesome game! Fits the theme well. I loved the dark-y atmosphere and the music. I feel that I'm having a bit of trouble with choosing the right path.

The graphic style works well and audio too. The controls are hard to handle. The fact that you can't predict where the platforms will move in many cases and if they will move in the direction of the key pressed change the gameplay from an interesting reflex/puzzle to a more frustrating memory game.
Anyway, it's an excellent entry.

Awesome concept. However, I'd like if I was able to see how the platforms will move without actually moving them. Also, it would be nice if the physics were a bit more consistent.
