Block Man. Platformer game where you can toggle activation between red and blue blocks on the fly, that is necessary to complete the game. 12 levels, all unlocked from the start if you wish to skip any.
Controls: WASD or arrow keys to move Z or space to jump X or F to toggle red/blue blocks Esc or P to pause
Known bugs: MAJOR: Sometimes the jump doesn't work. Can stick to walls Sometimes not dying on spikes.
Hi guys - creator here. I am aware the controls aren't the best. I know the jump key is sometimes unresponsive. Is it specifically the keys I chose or? Personally I would rather use a controller for it though.
I feel like the player character is a little too slippery. The control scheme itself is serviceable, I just feel like the character should accelerate and decelerate faster. Doing that would tighten up the controls immensely and make the game feel much more responsive. I gave up on the level where you had yellow trampolines at the bottom of pits lined with spikes, because I felt like I couldn't prevent my character from flying into a wall.
Aside from that, I feel like you taught the player the mechanics of the game well. New mechanics were introduced at a steady pace, which kept me interested in playing. Good job!

Good game, nice idea, but this jumping bug...so frustrating. ;)
I got stuck in the walls a few times, and that level with the spikes on the ceiling and walls where you had to fall into the chasms and bounce to progress seemed near impossible to me. Could be more fun with a bit of polish, for sure. Keep at it!
Not massively original, but a fun and challenging platformer with some nice use of the platform-switching mechanics. Once you iron out those bugs, this'll be a good little game.
One nitpick I have is that the sound effects were quite a bit louder than a music. Which is a shame, because I liked the music a lot.

I found a bug at level 12: If the players stands still under the second green platform, it will be pushed off the screen.
