An action/puzzle game where you have to plan ahead to win.
One character at a time. One attack. One life.
Move left and right with A and D. You can change characters by pressing C before you spawn. Once you spawn you have to enter the correct door to move onto another character. You can only change characters before spawning.
Please let me know how hard/easy the last level is for you and if you beat the game =]
Masterfully executed tutorial. The text "C to swap characters" persisting as a background element after you spawn (and thus can no longer change characters) was a bit hard to understand, though I got it after a while. I like it a lot and it fits the theme very well.
I didn't think much of this game... until I started playing it! Awesome game. Takes a little getting in to. The controls are a bit odd - I find for best results, to do a run-and-jump, I run first, and before I completely slow down, I just, otherwise the jump doesn't occur.
I had a pretty hard time with the controls. The right-control key wouldn't fire, so I had to kind-of adjust my hands to hit the keys, so it took me out of the game a bit, but I think other posters are right, you have to get into a bit, give it a chance, and it's pretty fun.
No fun at all, glitchy AF and doesn't fit the theme at all.

The sound effects were a bit annoying. The graphics weren't the best either. The gameplay of going through the level with the mutliple character was interesting.
Was going well up until the level where I was told I could push C to change characters. Because I Was pushing C and nothing was happening! (Playing the web version, on a Mac)
The mechanics are neat, i just dont like the sliding movement. And also iw was confusing when changing colors for the first time.

very clever, it looked easy but proved a real puzzle. The mechanics were well done,however, (physics) inertia was a killer and some of the elevator controls were not too clear, but I took that as part of your puzzle.
I wasn't expecting this depth of gameplay from the screenshots, but this is a genuinely *GOOD* concept. With some better assets this could really REALLY be a hit.
Thanks for all the feedback guys, it's really encouraging.
I'm aware that the controls are wonky. Sadly I only had saturday to finish and ran out of time to complete them.
I've fixed the controls in a non submitted version since I can't upload a new one and I plan to continue with this concept.
Thanks for the support!

This game would have scored really high two ludum dares ago, when the theme was "minimalism", I'm sort of missing its explicit connection to the theme this time tho. That small opinion aside, the game is very well made, and probably one of the better games I've played this ludum dare.
The concept is great! But unresponsive controls kinda ruins the fun. If you could give it more time and improve platformer mechanics a bit, it would be a great and fun game!
All levels were quite easy except the last one, which was fun to understand and quite frustrating to actually complete because of hard controls.

Nice game, I liked the small details such as the platforms moving back a little before moving.
some mechanics :)
I'm not sure how this connects to the theme but, yeah, fun game nonetheless!
This game is rather awesome!
I'm a sucker for minimalist art styles too. :)
