An interesting mechanic is put to good use, and it's definitely unconventional! Nice puzzles, and the slo-mo feature sure came in handy. The graphic's aren't amazing but I like the puppy goomba enough to give 4 stars outta 5. The one thing I think that could have made this game better is if there were more levels, but f course in the compo there is very little time! You should expand on this after the dare :)"},{"author_name":"rukai","author_uid":"50543","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 3:09am","epoch":1429499040,"text":"Fantastic idea!"},{"author_name":"Leandrus","author_uid":"31764","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 4:27am","epoch":1429503720,"text":"Good game... interesting mechanic indeed!\r<br\/>Thanks for sharing"},{"author_name":"OmnipotentPotatoDEV","author_uid":"50213","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 5:26am","epoch":1429507260,"text":"The art was kind of lame.

I'd love to play a full game with this base mechanic. Dropping an enemy into the lava by swapping in mid-air just felt soo good! I had trouble parsing which colored walls did what, even with the reminders.
