Start with nothing : No plateform in a plateformer.
Try to free the area from evil sprits by collecting 5 crystals and reconstruct the shine.

It may be better if the game has a map :smile:
Having to create platform under your feet is challenging enough to be interesting, but not frustrating.
Love the animation and the main mechanic, but the physics are a bit off. Jumping into a cube propels me backwards, and the camera follow is a bit too slow which makes controlling the cube placement harder (if I try to flow through the game faster, mainly an issue vertically)
There is a feature-potential based on a physics glitch where if you spawn the platform on the character she will dash towards a direction (static to rigid/dynamic object collider glitch).
It is possible (but tedious) to move her around based on only spawning platform in granular steps towards the direction (a symbol or a marker to define her inertia triangle of movement would be nice for that effect).
Quite the tension on platforming for the pursuit of gathering crystals, nice challenge.
Looking forward on further expansion on this entry! :dizzy:
