This was a fun game! I liked the right-click game mechanic. :)

Very nice mechanics. I couldn't get past those things firing red balls at you but up until that point it was good.

I think having a delay of a second or two after each death would be much less jarring, or maybe a "click both left and right to continue" message so that you can see how you died and whay you collided with.

Overall very good, I especially liked the story at the start.

Fun little platformer but really small.

At first, all I could think was, "Oh brother, am I just going to end up holding down left mouse for the game?" and was incredibly happy when I realized it was a bit of a timing/puzzle game involving the trampoline-like blocks and turnaround ones (excuse my inability to think of better words). Ended up rather fun, and I think it might be cool to see a more refined game with these mechanics (:

As a side note: the human-made sfx for Steve falling from the sky are gold.

In-room checkpoints would've been nice

Good work! The mechanics are great and I think you can make more funny puzzles (Maybe I was gonna choose other buttons for the control). The storytelling was perfect.

I enjoyed this! It's more of a one button game, but it's still really nice!

Platformer with very original spin on controls, allowing for some funny puzzles - ranging from time based, to logical ones. Kudos for level design!

Needs some checkpoints in rooms, but it's a small game so I was able to clear it pretty quickly. Pretty damn fun level design and the control scheme was innovative, definite pluses for that! Art felt like it needed more time devoted to it, but beyond that, it's actually real good fun. Good work :).
