@dekart Thanks, yeah there's definitely not enough levels, I left the game design for the end and I run out of time, and making levels was way harder than I thought. I'll probably will keep working on it yes.
Very nice game. Although, like many others said, it could be longer (and more difficult). This felt like a tutorial for a good platformer.. but only the tutorial.

The gravity mechanic only felt relevant for the last couple levels. It's also basically VVVVV sans player control of the shifts. That adds a nice element of tension when you need to do things quickly, but also means a lot of standing there waiting for things to change.
the levels themselves weren't bad. I assume that you had more plans for those mechanics and ran out of time, which is unfortunate. I also quite liked the text in a silly kind of way.
A nice simple platformer. Reminds me of a cross between VVVVVV and Manic Miner. The gravity inversion mechanic worked well, but 10 seconds seemed a little too long to wait sometimes.
Pretty decent gravity platformer. Some puzzles that took the timing of the switch into account would be neat. As it is, I could mostly just get through a level before the timer ran out, and on the few that needed a gravity switch, I just ran to the point I needed to be and waited out the timer. Some tweaking of the run speed/jumping physics might be nice to make it feel smoother. I'd definitely play it as-is with more levels though, so you're not very far off.
Quite nice platformer, but yea would need more levels. It felt like you had just introduced all the cool features but it ended instead. And most levels were doable without the using the gravity inversion, but yeah, level design is hard. :) Found a funny bug: on maps with moving platforms, jump onto one and walk off it and you will move around like you were still on it but falling (poor explanation, try it yourself). Also the music starts playing again on top of the existing musci when the game is restarted after completion.
I'd definitely go for a post compo version! I think the 10 seconds rule would match well with putting the player in a situation where his situation (platforms and spikes-wise) isn't so easy to understand. In that sense, the 10 seconds become like a countdown for him to figure out and try to run to a place where he'll be at an advantage (or at least not dead) when the gravity flips. Congratulations, this is a neat concept, I'd definitely come back for more if you did a 2.0 version! :D
Really nice game mechanic, and not too difficult. (In fact, I found it rather easy, but not enough so to be a waste of time.) The writing is pretty fun, too.
Not the most groundbreaking thing I've ever played, but very entertaining.

Lovely gameplay, I'd play more levels :)
