Only thing I would criticize is that sometimes you have to change your button layout a lot in a level and it can get a bit tedious when you die and have to rearrange everything every time. Other than that, I loved this.
There was one small thing I noticed. The landing sound sometimes was played multiple times (going up a slope by using the dash ability was the cause of this) :smile:
All in all great entry!
I don't know what it is, but I feel like the death and restart to the start just felt annoying. It made me feel like there were checkpoints or something. I wouldn't mind a challenging game that forces you back to the start, but maybe its because restarting felt so slow, I have to wait for a few seconds and then move my blocks back to how I wanted it again. It messes with my flow a little bit.
Still, I really like the mechanics. Its amazing well done!
The startup is a good point. The intent is for it to be a bit of time to reorganize the abilities. But in the speedrun modes, the startup doesn't even happen. Probably should have thought that part over.
I think a little more explanation early on would be helpful - the first ability assignment screen was a little confusing with no clues about what exactly to do.
Movement felt great, and the art/music fit together to make a nice cohesive feeling. Good stuff, hope you keep going with it.
