A game by blackbird806. Made in 48h for the Ludum Dare #34 themes were : growing, two buttons controls.
if you have an english keyboard(QWERTY) use shift + ctrl to change it in AZERTY (if you need it).
Instructions:Use Q and D to move. Yellow orbs replace your last input by a jump (for example if you take the orb by the right you'll not be able to go on
the right with D but you'll can jump with this key)
The red orb use the sames mecanics but with another power.
The blue orb resets your keys to moving; so be sure to always take a blue orb if you want to take another power.
/!\note: if you don't take the blue orb red and yellow orbs will be ineffective.
The purpule orb create another playable block which have reverse controls.
The arrows desacivates/reactivates gravity.
The blue/red/green walls can be ignore by the block with the same colour.

ps: It's my first gamejam and I'm a novice in game developpement.
Clever little puzzle game. The intro levels are fairly straightforward. Only real complaint with gameplay is that mistakes at the end of a level seemed easy to make, and then you were forced to replay the whole level.
Very interesting gameplay ! Very clever as MorseAmalgam said, liked it a lot. Next time add some music and some art and you could do a very cool game :p
Really nice concept! It tends to get too difficult too soon, especially because you have to restart if you get stuck sometimes. but the levels are designed very well!
It was a good concept, and the engine was mostly well-implemented. The control switching was a little buggy, however. Also, the level design was a bit lacking. I feel like this could have been used to do some interesting puzzles, but that wasn't really done.
Interesting, after reading instructions controls and mechanics seemed to be vague, but while playing the game it turned out to be quite intuitive. Congrats.
Fun, challenging puzzle platformer. Felt a tiny bit unpolished. It also felt a bit weird to use Q and D for controls instead of left and right or A and D.
Really a brain-twister to have to think about your inputs changing. Would love to see this mechanic expanded upon. Goes great with a little fourth-wall breaking humor.
This is a really cool concept and it should be improved on. I would like to see more done with this. Also for some reason when I fired lots of projectiles when picking up the red orb the game crashed.
I see this as an awesome example of a prototype gameplay / level design game. The graphic quality belies the clever level design. Splitting the player into two and three mirror images (in terms of actions) was really cool and added a neat level of difficulty to the game. I REALLY applaud you for creating a clever platformer that held strictly to the 2 button concept... I gave up at the bonus level 1 :-D
