Solid idea!

Took me some time too figure out what to do though. Also the phasing blocks are decidedly un-fun, and at some points it is impossible to get on top of one.

Quite nice. Couldn't get past the first "phasing block", though :(

After a lot of playing, the phasing blocks were a lot easier, and the only thing keeping us from going forever, so they were sort of a necessity. I do agree though, I wish we could have come up with something to handle them more elegantly.

This is a cool idea. Reminds me some java phone games.

The phasing blocks are basically from the worst part of the heatman stage from megaman 2 and are un-fun. However the game has no challenge without them. They do get easier to deal with the more you play, but its hard not to get frustrated at them.

Nice game!, you could have done this on a 1px width game and that would have looked very artsy

Haha, a 1D game was one of the ideas that crossed my mind as well, though I didn't end up doing one. Definitely minimalistic! Kind of difficult, but a good, simple game. :)

I LOVE 1-button games and I wish you'd put up a osx version so I can store it in my games collection. I can't see why you wouldn't win at least two categories.

Sweeet this game is intense :) nice job!

Yep, that's minimal for sure. Nice work!

I almost made my endless runner entry into a 1D game like this (just blocks), but I decided to make some lousy pixel art instead.

Very clever concept. Sometimes the random generation can screw you over (especially when the phasing and moving blocks are combined), but that seems like something that you can always tweak a bit to change the difficulty.

pretty hard level , fresh and different concept, nice music, need more gfx and challenges / progress

Nice. Really simple and fun :)

Very good use of the theme. About the fading blocks: maybe they would have been nicer if you can clearly see when you can jump through them. Also, making them so that you can (temporarily) jump through them and stand on them as well would have been better. You can also make different types of fading blocks this way.

Funny simple idea, with a good mood. Reminds me o old Atari games. My only fairly major complaint would be the phasing blocks, which were a pain in the ass to figure out! Congratulations on your submission!
