This platformer is about heroes, greed and repentance... and most of all, it's about wondering: Who is the villain, you or you?

* 13/05/2016: This recommended version saw its levels and balancing reworked from the ground up. Most bugs and quirks are also fixed. The game is still hard, but more fun to play!
26/04/2014: Note that the original 2012 sources don't work anymore in modern browsers. This version is mostly the same, except we polished some details, and especially upgraded the engine... introducing a few glitches.
Awesome idea. I had a hard time placing the traps. I guess you have to click the ground below where they will be? Jumping was a bit awkward. Overall very good!
Very nice concept! The execution is a bit glitchy (switching between items by clicking on them sometimes doesn't work, even though it's time critical) but overall I enjoyed playing it :)
Great game! Really great use of a simple mechanic and an inventive take on the theme. I love the music even if it did get a bit repetitive. The changing traps can be a touch clumsy but thats the only thing I could fault. Awesome job.
put traps on your previous way is already nice. but rebeat the level agin is more nice. i always place traps and i cannot find way in the next try.. very good idea.
Absolutely brilliant idea, well executed and really does force you to choose how you act. As far as the game goes, the platforming element of it is smooth, but with the trap mode, the buttons and placing of traps felt unresponsive.
Music was fine (if a bit repetative), graphics were good. Overall it was great, and especially innovative with the basic mechanic.
I think this could be interesting if there was a multiplayer mode where one player is the good guy and the other is setting traps and they take it in turns. =)
While the graphics were above average, everything else about this was beautiful. The concept and the contortions you took on this theme were really wonderful! I like how I had to stop and consider whether my trap patterns would be too deadly for me to ever make it back out of the dungeon on subsequent playthroughs.
This idea really speaks to me, being a recursive frog and all. ;)
Wonderful concept that's well executed. The buggy collision and trap-switching is rather distracting, and 10 levels on the third world seems a bit much as far as patience goes, but otherwise a great entry!
Very interesting gameplay mechanic and take of the theme. I didn't play through all the levels because I get angry xD I mean... normally I can flame the game designer for bad trap placement and unfair levels. But setting the traps by myself is so frustrating :D
Sometimes the moving feels very glitchy and I ran into traps without my faults (as you mentioned and others mentioned here).
That was a very interesting and unique idea! I liked that you made it so that each trap would hit the hero only once, to avoid some simple abuses, like walking back and forth. Still, there was plenty of space for player abuse :-)
This is VERY clever, the player really HAS to make things difficult and be his own villain! I was very surprised to curse myself for an unavoidable carpet of spikes!
Hehe clever. Sometime the trap selection doesnt work which make the game very frustrating. Anyway the sequence recording mechanic is great. With some experience you can game the system by making some dumb run, like waiting for 1-2s in front of a wall or under a low roof. Maybe by speeding up the "running pillar of death" on level3-4, you could avoid that.

It is a joy to experience true innovation when it comes to new game ideas.

Very good job anyway!
The game could use some sound effects!
