I really would like to test your game, but it crashed. ( Maybe because I use Linux, so everything could be 'fine'. It's just that I could play other games with Unity-WebGL. )
Control Mechanics is interesting, and pen and paper platformer is always a funny thing =) Unfortunately, i've spent like 15 minutes figuring out how to get through that dark gray wall blocking the path - with no success.
i loved how you used the two button controlls really nice
as for humor ye it lacked any funny moments or sarcasm so i didnt know what to put for that but overall i liked the game and will check out any other games you got :)
im also very interested in how u got webgl working so if you could get in touch that would be great :)
The game has a really cool idea, the physics is interesting. I had fun. The problem is that I could not get the blue gem. It was hard to go back to pick her up. But you spread very well the theme and art is quite different, I liked. The music of a sense of trance, makes contrast with the design that is generated in your game, good choice and sounds work well with response time for interactions. Nice.
You've chosen a nice style! Audio is also very good.

Great little game, and one of the most interesting implementation of the 2-button theme i've seen. Nice work around for only going in 1 direction using the slopes to roll back, although it can be a bit fiddly to do right. Feels nice when you get boost upgrade and it's suddenly feels much easier to move! Art style was also nice.
Fun stuff! I liked how the powers changed as I progressed. It was cool seeing game art that had been scanned from graph paper like that, too. I would have been tempted to add more shading if I was in your shoes, but using colour to show relevant things like powerups and effects was smart.
Cool idea, and well done. Great job with the music as well. It would be fun to see some more levels as the buttons' functions change! Effective art style as well, it stands out among other entries.
Greate sketch design for your game. I would like to take this opportunity to ask a favor. You already rated my game, but I was not allowed "innovation rating." Please could you assess this item now? Take the opportunity to play with some corrections. Very thanks:http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=36629
Controls were frustrating. I kept wanting to go back to pick up what I missed and explore, but the game didn't allow for that even though I was supposed to get that green dot thing. "Artifact" had no explanation. It was a ball.
Your game has a really nice mood, thanks to the combination of your art and audio. Also, the idea to discover actual buttons in game to change your controls is a good interpretation of the theme.
Really love your paper drawing art style and music. Great little bit of gameplay! Not sure I would be able to sit through an entire puzzler like this, but if it turned out to be more of an adventure game I'd love to see something larger!
Nice music! I like the graphical style, very original. The gameplay looks interesting, but I ended up getting stuck after bruning the first few branches, I seem to be unable to climb to the yellow sphere. The controls are kinds frustrating after a while.
TO ANYONE RATING THIS GAME THROUGH THE WEB VERSION: you do not gain enough momentum when you use the Unity fullscreen button! You have to use the Ludum Dare fullscreen button! Frustrated me for quite a while when I couldn't get the yellow orb...
Anyhow, I could see that this game had potential given the nice graphics and two-button upgrading movement mechanic. Good effort and hope to see you around next time!
I really liked this game. I would've liked to have seen keyboard controls as well, as some parts were a bit unnecessarily tough without them. Could be a bit more challenging. I really loved the art style and the presentation, however. Great work!
It seems like you had some good ideas here but there are a few bugs that make it hard to enjoy...
The music and graph paper aesthitic work really well, it's nice how you tied them together.
Not a serious issue but right click works strangely, might want to look at that.
After getting the yellow upgrade I could not get out of the pit , I seemed to only be able to fly when moving left or something. I tried the web and Windows versions and had the same issue.
very interesting game and even though I wished some of the backgrounds would have been more distinctive from the foreground(different brightness) I was impressed by using crosspaper to make the game graphics :D and in overall the controls were very interesting too, keeping to the two button controls but giving more and more options how to use them over time (or more advanced)
Great game! It's fun and entertaining interesting way of going about the two-buttons. I liked how the character responds to the new power-ups to describe what's going inside the orb. Good luck!
The hand drawn pen and paper style is pretty well done in this. The idea of having powerups change the second button control is a nice way to add a bit more variety to a theme that might limit that sort of thing. Good music too.
I really love this game as a concept. The control scheme was cool, and the graphical style is really eye-catching. I think the game would benefit most from being longer. You've got the setup for a great adventure and it ends so quickly. Such is Ludum Dare, but I'd love to see this as a full adventure.
Something like this minus the physics was my original idea for the jam. I'm glad to see it being real. Loved the music and the sounds, the graphics were an interesting choice, the level design could have allowed to build up speed to the left faster, but otherwise it was a sweet (and short) experience.
Putting the little paper person in the ball and having that small amount of dialogue about the buttons really gave this paper world some character and a sense of scale too. Nice touch.
I was very impressed with this. I like the transition to the sphere where the buttons appear, the limited buttons used to make kind of puzzles (that were not too frustrating) and the upgrade element is really satisfying. The exploration element is great too. The ball hits things with an awesome shake and sound. The music gives a sense of awe and mystery. Overall I think its great! Well done.
I like the graphics, but I couldnt get up the hill. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/BZOhspy6Kt8

The wall can be broke with enough speed (after the 2nd upgrade). ;)
I really enjoyed the art style, it's gorgeous. The background is a little pixelated, but I think that's ok.
Audio was good too!
os: Windows 8.1
Well done!!
I liked the changing buttons, a good way to keep to the theme...
Shame there is not more to the game...
Well done, sir!

Not sure if intentional but: An alternate keyboard control would be immensely helpful - clicking those two buttons was a bit uncomfortable.
