Mind the Gap by LelulaGames
How much platforming can you fit in a limited space? Just mind the gap. Two islands are long forgotten in the sea. One lone marble seeks to move between them. How many ways can you traverse such a tiny space?

I love the art style!
My only feedback would maybe be to align the camera with the movement controls as it felt quite odd to move not relative to the camera angle with Up pushing you diagonally instead of forward.
I think the game would have been slightly better if you stayed away from levels that require jumps. They just did not feel as good as the movement in general. All levels that did not require jumping were standouts for me.
While you did not make the music, I still want to praise the music selection. I think the sets the mood perfectly for this game. If it was any more hectic, it very well may be that I would have given up earlier. This is a cool contrast to Super Monkey Ball that has more upbeat and higher tempo tunes. As a side note, the people talking behind the music track kinda broke the immersion but this was just a small nitpick.
But overall, I solid entry!
@checkyourgages @dmvch @duckwings thanks for playing. I'm glad you stuck out the weird perspective to get a feel for it.
Took a while to get used to the rotated controls. Also, the windmill level was quite hard, had to try it quite a few times. Luckily, the chill ambient saved it for me.
I think I would have preferred levels with a more complicated and narrow pathing, instead of the moving parts. So they require more sensitivity and less timing. Which would also fit the mood better, I think?
Still, good foundation, I enjoyed playing through it.
@cobaltjt I thought about the more complex paths, too, but in that small space it just becomes a jump unless I figure out how to make the player stay on the ground. But I can see what you mean about the spinny bits.
Enjoyed using the phyiscs to float over the flowers :D
The controls took a bit of getting used to due to the perspective of the camera but after getting used to it I was flying and loving it, amazing entry!
@mccustard thank you! Being upset it's over is the best compliment.
@bassilij thank you for playing.
@vary the two point bridge is the one I get stuck on all the time, too.
@ex3d0 thank you!
@agraffs Thanks for playing, glad you enjoy the vibe :)
But you should do something with controller.
