[Description]
TileDrifter is an explorative game which lets the player drift around in colorful tile-based worlds.
The game consists of several worlds which all tell the player how to get to the next world in a certain way.
The player has to watch carefully how the world reacts to him as it reacts more dramatic the further away from the goal.

Great game! The controls are really hard at first, but that just adds up to the fun

The controls transforms an easy game into a hard one. I like the graphics and music.

Game completed! :) Well, this was pretty hard, especially because I'd put the controls exactly in reverse. But the visuals are nice, the audio is nice, and I almost get a seizure on the last level, and I enjoyed that after getting used to the controls :D

Great game! love how there's many ways of telling the player the hole place.
Also, do you know how to do that glitching thing on the last level?

We used steffantans's glitch shader and script, you can find it on his github: https://github.com/staffantan/unityglitch

I bet this is so much fun with 2 players using pillows as controllers :)

Very interesting and relaxing game, could of really used more direction but very nice, especially the music and innovative control scheme.

Tips: I turned my keyboard upside down and controls became much more fun! You should try to invert Left/Right effect :)

first i was just pressing left and right repeatedly, then i figured out that i can push both buttons at the same time :D.

I did like the innovative control scheme, the graphics were nice, the colors and the music. To bad that it had no point in the game just finding the portals.
