The idea behind this game is to take a simple platformer and using minimal color effects and music create an experience that is larger than the sum of its parts.
There is also an online high score board for those of you who want to prove you have the best platforming skills. A large part of the game is collecting coins and getting a higher combo score to get more points.
If anybody wants the soundtrack I also included the OST, as many of the songs you won't hear for their full duration.

Loved the freeze ray mechanic. And absolutely loved when it went into the disco mood. All the colors and music made me really care about upping my combo and really disappointed when I lost it.
I liked the music. The graphics were alright but more work could have been done on the backdrop to make it fit in better. Not sure if it was intentional but there's a gap of a few seconds when switching between normal and disco modes, it's a bit irritating since it stops the gameplay and interrupts the player. Overall though this is pretty fun.
Thanks for the nice comments @Alexfili I don't know what you mean by a gap between switching, all that happens is the blocks and background start flashing colors there isn't a pause or anything.

Oh man, what a trip it is to play this game! It's been a while since I felt the boogie fever, you certainly brought it back in spades! :D
Let's boogie ! The controls are awkward IMO (confused me during the whole game), I never used my gadgets as only shooting is enough, the small freezes between the modes are a bit annoying and I feel the enemies behaviour is quite random. But the whole "disco" mood is so excellent I still enjoyed the game a lot, and the whole sound design is excellent. Good job :D

I can't think of much criticism other than polishing it up. Good game, thanks for making it
The sounds are pretty sweet, especially the music that plays during the colour changing sequence. More importantly, it plays fairly well.

loved boogie mode but the controls bugged me, why WSAD when you're barely using your right hand at all??
