The mountain level was the only one I could get in, and it never actually let me play, only clipped from the top to the bottom of the map and back

How does one load the levels? I get to the level selection screen, and then the game just sits there. I can't find a way to actually enter a level.

Thanks guys. I think i was able to fix that bug now!

Hey, this is a lot like my game! The controls are pretty difficult though, and its very easy to get stuck, bumping up and down until you reset the level, it's a really good concept though!

It is quite hard but other than that it works and feels really good.

Very neat. Clever level design, good puzzles, neat mechanic. Very good. No real complaints, other than an odd control scheme. left and right arrows with the shift works much better.

It's too hard. I could not control jumps normal. Something wrong with render - image not solid(twitchs). Nice music :)
Strandmullen28 Apr 2014, 15:44
It worked very well for me and there were some fun game mechanics. Cool game!

Interesting experience when jumping under the surface. My mind was tricked :)

Nicely made game. Got a bug where I suddenly teleported to the bottom of the level once don't know what caused it. Could use some more variety in the challenges but the final level is a good start.

Really nice game, I managed to finish all other levels, but the last one, in which I floated to spikes after all the trouble and ragequitted instantly :D Other than that really good and very well made game.

LOVED THIS GAME
Got stuck playing it for ages. I actually had to stop myself and move onto the other games. Would be so great to see more levels!!! Music was great - art was great, game play was top notch. Really excellent work.

Nice music and good graphics, but too hard, so it becomes a bit annoying after 10 mn.
Well done, good game.

Just awesome! Especially the last level :D Too big difference in difficulty between last level and others, though. I spend few minutes trying to figure out what to do. Yet that was fun!

I was impressed with this game. It seemed very difficult to me but it is fun and has very good music. Could be an addicting game. Very good entry.

Quite fun to play but really difficult. I think you shouldn't have made the player slide, it makes the jumps really hard and the deaths frustrating.
Otherwise, the reversed gravity idea is good and the graphics are well made.
