Such a cool mechanic with really neat puzzle interactions.

I'm not sure if this is on purpose or not but I found that you could always call or switch with the cube to you no matter how far away it was. I was confused by the graphics thing because fastest and fantastic looked the same except fantastic was a lot slower. Also I felt like the controls were a little rough. However I do believe this concept can be worked on to make a much more interesting game. Good luck and I would love to see a post mortem of this! :D"},{"author_name":"jprogman","author_uid":"15225","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 3:56am","epoch":1429501860,"text":"Nice 2D platform in a 3D world."},{"author_name":"Tijn","author_uid":"49432","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 4:41pm","epoch":1429547760,"text":"Absolutely amazing.
