My first Ludum Dare game!

-About the game
It is a platform pussel game with som inspiration from the board game Reversi or Othello.
A block can be placed on one side of a wall and if there is a block of the same type on the other side of the wall the blocks inbetween will be transformed.

-Controls
Arrow keys to move.

R to restart the current level.

Hold down control to place a block.
While holding down control press the arrow keys to place a block "up", "right" or "left".
Press "down" to switch between diffrent types of blockes.

If the block is red it will not be placed. Only a valid Reversi moves will work.

-Game goal
Get to the flag!

-Note
My friend had problems with the sound when playing the game so here is a version without sound:

Interesting concept, but it crashes every time I press the up key! =(

Played until the end, the last level was HARD! The puzzle difficulty is perfect, that last jump though.. Liked the original combination of reversi with a platformer. The theme reminded me of Supaplex, which is good. Graphics are decent, except for the player character which I didn't like. I encountered a couple of bugs like respawning inside of walls and disappearing ladders. But overall definitely enjoyable!

Thanks for the comments, the Up key crashing the game is because of the sound not working. Don't know what is causing it.

Looks very nice but I couldnt get to far, it crashed everytime I press "up" key without "Ctrl"

That's a really clever idea for a puzzle game, and well designed levels. Fun.

-Took a few tries before understanding the puzzle mechanic, but once I got it, it was pretty smooth :|
-Puzzle mechanic has good potential :)
-Difficulty was well balanced :)
-Colliders are too sensitive :(
-SFX a little annoying :(
-Not really a one screen game :(

Very good game, fun. Finally got to the end.
I love the level design very much.

Loved this. Great concept and really well designed puzzles.
It'd be great to see it extended with more types of blocks, but it still provided a good challenge as it is.
While playing i thought there should have been a penalty for making an invalid move to prevent guesswork, but maybe it's fine without.

Love the idea for this as I was a huge Othello fan as a kid.

Pretty tricky and clever. Managed to trap myself in the wall and die though!Would be great with some more polish. :)
