This is a game where you only get one direction in the same time (left or right), so be careful when you move and try to make the better score you can !
And care of the last level, it's very hard !

It was my first Ludum Dare (and my first "complete" game) and I'm rather proud of the result.
I hope that you enjoy my game.

If you play to the Web version, the loading may take few minutes.

Nice job. What's kind of object is the player in this game?

Pretty rad! I like the idea of this game, makes you think about every move you make. The graphics were good, especially the background. Job well done sir!

Thank you ! The player is a kind of robot who need switch buttons to change direction. He just have a propulsion to move forward and jump.

Nice! Looks like we had similar ideas :D
Your character handles way better than mine though

You said it's your first "complete" game : you can be proud, it's very enjoyable. Nice concept, nice execution, the game runs smoothly, levels are well conceived.
Well done !

If you press Left-Right fast enough when restarting a level, you get to move in both ways as long as you don't press the switches. You might want to get that fixed.
Great job, anyways! Really good level design, nice music and art and solid gameplay. Quite challenging too!

Nice idea, it felt "clever" to try to get the coins that you can't get if you just run past. Definately a good first entry, really should be proud.

The atmosphere and art are pretty good, but the movement is a bit odd. overall very good job.

Great Concept and Execution! The reuse and retreading of earlier parts of the level is interesting. Plays like a charm as well.

An beautifully put together game. I love the game mechanic and I love how tricky it can be sometimes. The visual aesthetic and music create this sort of carefree and fun mood. Excellent work dude!

I liked the mechanic! It's a nice take on the theme, and fun!

Good use of the theme. A fun puzzle game.

I love the concept, actually very innovative compared to most of what I've seen!

Great stuff -- some pretty smart level design in here as well. I think it'd help if there was slightly less inertia (or more surface friction) on landing, as it's easy to slide slightly past as jump up when landing relatively straight.

Great game - must have been a pain to testing for potential places to get stuck.

Nice work

Nice idea to fit the theme. only one way to move... cool designed levels, good soundscape. Enjoyed playing ^^

Nicely done! Although ... what is the character supposed to be?

One of the most fitting games to the topic I've seen now! And indeed the last level IS hard.

Very nice interpretation of the theme :) I enjoyed the mechanics. Well done!

Interesting mechanic that just went to show me how unnatural it felt. That is, I'd plan what I would do and then all of a sudden I couldn't do any or it so had to plan from scratch again, nice one!

Audio was sweet. Also, I like how you used the One Direction idea to make me actually have to think whilst playing a platformer. It was weird having some aircontrol, but when you commit to a jump that's it, you have to go for it.

The gameplay make me dazed! I love it!! :D One direction, it's very frustrating to collect pieces :D The graphic design could be polished. However very good job! :D

I still haven't closed your game just because I'm listening to the music. Is there a download for it somewhere? :)

Really polished game with a nice take on the theme. The background music was really good! The controls felt a little bit floaty, but far from the worst I've encountered.

A well executed simple idea. Good work.

Very well done! Good job!

Wow a pretty great idea for the theme, works really well and makes you actually think before you move if you want to try and collect everything, and doesn't stay too easy :D
