Wow, had a lot of fun with this one and I instantly liked the style and sounds of it, especially the music. Feels quite polished. Didn't like the keyboard layout (I am used to use space to jump, not up) and I wish there was a more dynamic way of rotating the world. Other than that - great game!

Great game! Awesome visuals. What started as quite simple platformer turned out to have pretty clever mechanics.

Very impressive! Love the graphics, and great gameplay. Only negative I can say is the way you rotate the world becomes a bit repetitive. Good job!

I really love the graphics and the music. Changing the platforms is challenging. Great job!

Beautiful little game. I guess my main criticism would be that the music kind of got on my nerves after a while.

Wow this was a really enjoyable game. I loved the mechanics, I love the the incorporation of the theme. The only two irks that I had with this game was the controls(I wish you had rebindable keys) and the music. Music was good but I didn't like hearing it over and over again for a few levels. Otherwise it's feels like a good and polished game.

This game feels great. Awesome visual effects. You might consider switching to "hold space, use arrows to rotate/shift, release space" controls rather than toggling. That would feel more genuine and will require less interaction from player. Anyway, cool game

Graphics were fantastic, music got a little repetitive but sound effects were solid, only gripe with controls was not being able to press attack and jump at the same time. <3 the attack animation!

Amazing! Well done, i like it! The collision can bug out when rotating some times. All in all astonishing! :)

Wow, that was absolutely amazing. Played through all 15 levels, and enjoyed them all thoroughly!

Loved the gorgeous pixel art and effects, and the gameplay was fresh and addictive.

More levels please? :)

Really good, with an impressive length for a LD-game.
Love the particles. I wouldve liked the attack to not stop all movement and dropping off edges to give you bit less velocity, but apart from that it controlled fine. Good one!

Awesome game! Really great atmosphere, the music is very good, great particle effects and very snappy controller feeling. The idea is innovative, nice puzzle element to moving and rotating the platforms. I like it very much!

Amazing idea and execution. Controls where a little tiresome for me, but I think on gamepad it would work pretty well. Great entry :)

Awesome particle effects, this game looks great.
Music was also good although a bit repetitive.
My biggest problem were the controls, they felt really counter-intuitive. For rearranging platforms the mouse would have been really helpful.

It seems like it's inspired by 'continuity'?

Great graphics!!

I would have preferred if it was possible to use a game pad, but it was a nice game, nonetheless. :)

Fantastic entry. Great idea. Controls took a little to get used to. Nice art, music and implementation.

Awesome plattformer! rotating and translating the levels is a nice idea though i do not quite get the connected worlds theme. Nevertheless it is a nice game with just sweet audio and graphics! Especially the particle Effects are very well made!

Great game. Would've been nice to change the controls but I love this game anyways. I would buy it on the spot.

Great art and mood! Controls were a little annoying for me (used to jumping with space). It was also a bit difficult to jump and attack. Great game though!

Amazing concept, love the ideas and all the emerging gameplay it can produce. You might want to rework the control scheme, also some levels feels weird, like I have to ask myself: "what does this level wants me to do ?" Solutions should feel more natural. I'm thinking about the leve with "unwrapped cube shape" and it consist only 3 similar portions of floating blocks. Anyway, such an innovative concept and flawless execution, amazing job :D

at first i wasnt that impressed with just a plain old platformer. the graphics and effects are nice though. but with the rotation and platform moving mechanic added, it becomes something really unique. well done!

Well done, love the universe ! The graphics are cool, the music too (maybe a little bit repetitive ). Good job for the diversity of situations (a few were a little bit frustrating x) ). The controls of the character needs to be more precise in my view. The feedback of the sword is very cool !
