The music was nice! I didn't understand how the disappearing platforms work. It seems like landing on certain colors makes other colors disappear but I couldn't figure out the rules behind it, so it just felt like trial and error.

Is there a pattern to the colors that makes it possible to make it, or do they fall away randomly? I couldn't tell if it's a hard puzzle or a hard random run.

@sylvie @nandelind Took me a little while but I got the hang of it. When you jump onto a platform that is a different colour than the one you jumped from, all platforms of the colour you jumped from disappear. Basically you can only be on a set of the same coloured platforms once. Starts to get especially tricky when they start changing colour!

I really enjoyed the puzzle aspect to this. Music was cool, just as wacky as this game, great work! The player animation needs a bit of work, when you jump his right foot looks very bizarre!

I really like the premise, very creative idea for a game. I also like the colorful graphics.

I appreciate how the disappearing platforms work, it makes you want to stop and think about what's happening but also you can't stay on one platform forever! I wonder if it would've been even better if the levels were a little easier at first because even though I liked the way the platforms/colors worked I still ended up just panicking and racing for the end a lot of times haha. Overall the game was very memorable and unique and I'm glad I got to play :)

Cool concept! The controls felt a bit awkward to me, though. Also, I couldn't figure out how to get the second (?) level; it didn't seem like I could jump far enough. Still, a neat idea for a game! Colors are always a solid thing to play around with.

Super cool application of the theme and I really liked how it all worked out as a 3d puzzle platform game like that! Some quirks of the graphics like a really long right foot and sometimes settling inside the platforms but overall very enjoyable!

The concept is really good. There's a full game lurking somewhere in the main mechanics. I got a lot of graphical glitches like the player flipping upside down and inside out. Overall a solid entry.

Good stuff :8ball:

That was pretty fun! While the rules aren't too complex, I think they should be explained in game. Last level was fun to figure out, I wish there was a bit more. Music was nice too!

This game was fun. models need a bit of polish, but the concept and the puzzles were very nice! I wish there was an indicator somehow to show which tiles swap through colors, as i'd be mid jump to one and then it happened. But overall very nice!

I did it! Man that avatar is hilarious, I kinda liked how janky it was. I enjoyed the puzzles and I'm happy you didn't hold the players hand through how the platforms worked. I liked figuring it out on my own. You put in some clever ones in the end and I could really see the potential of this concept (as long as the player somehow got a bird's eye view of the full map). Pretty creative entry, I haven't seen one like this all jam.

Great mechanic! And great incremental increase in difficulty and different uses of it. Felt really good about myself as I reached the goal of the last level. 😎

Graphics are what they need to be and the music is nice. What's up with that IK, haha? Was funny. The platforming felt nice and there seemed to be some leeway with regards to the edges of the platforms so I never fell down and felt that it was unfair. Great job there.

Would love to play an extended version with more levels and more variations on the mechanic because it really is a winning concept with lots of versatility! Nice job!
