neat idea! just wish the controls were a bit more responsive.

I like this one in principle, but the controls are either unresponsive or too sensitive, especially when teleporting.

It is a very good idea, although as the others have mentioned, the controls are a bit weird. I managed to go to Level 11 but, trying to figure out where to go next, i decided to teleport below the level - and the result was my cat being in a perpetual exploding state.

Generally though, it is a nice puzzle/platformer and the teleporting mechanic is good - although a couple of puzzles depend a bit on the weirdness of the collision and controls :-).

Cool, but the controls are a bit choppy?

Pretty great for a first game. Art was nice. Unfortunately tThe controls do rather let it down though.

Just finished it, congrats on finishing a whole game! Pretty hard to control the teleportation sparkle, not sure that was the best way to implement it. In general I had fun :)

THe controls (and game in general) were really laggy, but it is a great concept, and I really liked the art style!

Very clever mechanics and the graphics style is so clean. Sometimes I have a hard time with the controls, but that is me being limited than anything else :-)

Nice game.Great graphic and audio... the story is not so good but gameplay is :D

Bizarre! I love the concept.

I feel like you could have explored the unique movement mechanics in a more interesting way though. The parts where you have to fight against opposing particle streams are annoying.

Nice feel. Doesn't control as well as I'd like (I got stuck on level 6 or 7 and the glitchiness made it impossible).

Interesting mechanic though!

Good game and very interesting concept !
But the controls made me quit soon, maybe an improved release ?
