Nice game with some bugs. Sometimes you fall down forever and cannot reset state even after respawn.
I like the relaxed and neat music. Good job.

Can you please give me a link to the Play & Quit OST? s2 hahahaha Nice use of minimalist graphics, the movement and camera are very smooth and make the game very pleasant to play. The only issue that I had was with the block respawning sideways and sometimes the block becaments to easy to fall

Simple game, but plays well. I loved the music. It's pretty unforgiving, and while I liked the quick resets, I wish there was a bit of reaction to losing. An animation, sound effect, something to give loss a bit of weight.

nice-- the mechanic makes things fairly difficult, even frustratingly so, heh, i guess you just have to kinda get a feel for righting yourself and jumping carefully so you don't graze anything and fall over—
did you produce the music yourself? if so, groovy

This is slick. The controls are so responsive and the physics feel great. If you spent a bit more time building on this, you could have a super addictive rage platformer. I absolutely LOVE the music, too. Best chippy music I've come across in LD45 so far. Great work.

You really made the player work! Mechanics felt tight. Level design had some hiccups. Really wish we could just have fun and Tony-Hawk around the level tho! Rectangles don't have a head!

@AfroAnt id love to make the levels more triangular eventually, and most likely will, thanks for the idea.

Ah, it's so good! There's just something so *satisfying* about gliding along the platforms. The white on black with the slight red was really working for me, graphically. No matter how hard I try I can't get past the small platforms. Best of all was the MUSIC! Everytime I thought it was going to loop, it evolved some new wrinkle!

The foundations of this game are pretty solid, as is the level design and feedback for what's there. Since it's so minimal, it's hard to know what was an artistic choice v.s. neglect as far as art is concerned, so it was difficult to award points there. Nothing was unpleasant about the experience, really. In fact I had a good time. Thanks for the game.

As many here have said before, the movement feels great. Which is important if i am not wanting to fall over. I never feeled like the game betrayed me if I did. great job!

As everyone has said, movement is really fluid and fun but i think the camera is too zoomed in, you kinda have to take it slow if you don't want to randomly crash into a damaging block because you were unable to see it quick enough. Had few bugs where i just died while no damaging blocks were in sight but once again, the controls felt really smooth and not once did i feel like it was clunky, well done :)

Great game! The movement is very nice! If you decide to continue development of the game, the player character should definitely be a guy on a unicycle.

Really smooth and responsive movement. Hated to have to start over so many times, but so satisfying when you finally beat it!

Solid game with an interesting concept behind it, movement was good and responsive, one thing i would ask for would be for the camera to be a bit more zoomed out or follow the player more tightly, when the platforms were small and spaced out it got a bit harder to see where you were going(unless you want the player to learn the map over time then its fine as is)
All in all not a bad job, you have a solid base for a good game on your hands, keep at it :thumbsup:

Congratulations for making this game !
OMG it was exhausting. I reached fifth level but couldn't cross the leap of faith :'(

Tilt mechanics is pretty neat. But some checkpoints would be a great idea, I think :)
That'll help from rage-quits))

The minimalist graphics just looked like an absence of sprites, however the movement made up for it and not being an artist myself the game is great

Really neat idea, I wish the graphics were a little more detailed. Perhaps similar to 'Thomas was Alone'..? Music is awesome too, well done :)
