Left,Right,Up to move
R to reset the level
ESC to quit
I've tested on Windows7 and the latest OS X.
Windows 8 users, if you see a prompt window but no game, give it a minute (literally a minute). It will eventually start playing (no idea why this happens).
PS
With my 3rd kid being only 3 weeks old, I only had a few hours into this. Please post feature ideas / requests in the comments. I plan on continuing development beyond LD if the idea gets a positive response.

Quite challenging and fun! My only complaint would be that the character feels too light. It accelerates in an instant, so it's really hard to control when you have to be precise.
Other than that is a really solid entry. It's incredible that you did this in just a few hours. Would love to see this idea developed further. Kudos, man!
A little off topic, but innovating!
What I find is missing the most is a way of telling if you currently are the right colour. Maybe a glow around your character, a lock opening up on the exit door or something could be nice.
Good luck for the future, keep us posted if you decide to work on it some more! :)
Good job doing this in the time that you did and I hope you continue the project!
