I like the music and text switches every 10s, but the game stays the same, is that intended? The platformer part feels a bit floaty and therefore hard to control. I also kept sliding off of the poles, maybe having a bigger collider there or the player more sticky could help? \nAnyways, i'd like to try out the original vision of switching through the games, i feel it could be quite a challenging experience...

Switching genres completely every 10 seconds definitely hits the theme. Sadly each of the games was far too hard and punishing. Falling to the bottom every time in the 3d platformer was completely demoralising, especially with the walk all the way back. The 2d platformer's controls were way too floaty and imprecise for the kind of thing you were asking - and the part with the moving platform that had a jump button on it was impossible to complete in a single 10 second session.
