In this game, you'll find yourself moving a blue cuboid through parcour-like levels. Your movements are limited to your current orientation. Moreover, the orientation changes with each move, leading to the shift in shape.

I worked on this for about 12 hours only, unfortunately I don't have much time on sunday.

EDIT: I did find some time today and ADDED 4 MORE LEVELS!

By the way, there's mobile support! So if you want to play on your smartphone or tablet, just visit the web link on there and it should work out of the box.

Cool music and the mechanics and graphics are really nice. It becomes intuitive very quickly.

My total score was 280.5. The last level got me for sure (I won't give any hints on how to solve it) but excellent job! My only suggestion would be to add a level number on the "Score/try again" page. The music fit the game perfectly!!!

Damn I really love this gameplay! With a lot more levels and a lot more baddies/different blocs this game could be a real success on mobile devices! Great job!

I like the music and the looks, but controls are a bit funny.

This game is phenomenal. The graphics, music, and idea is outstanding! Good job. I don't think that it would fit into the theme. But it has shapes!

Smooth visuals and audio. Like it. But oh man, it is so short. Also, it is a bit counter intuitive that you can pass through red block when it is moving.
Gemcc17 Apr 2016, 13:28
Nice game, more levels would be awesome, but then I understand the time limitations...

sometime is game very easy but not bad
sirtetris17 Apr 2016, 13:57
Really like the music. Game concept is nice, too bad it's only 6 short and easy levels.
Could have been a nice stretch of puzzling time like for example bloxorz.

THANKS for all your lovely early feedback! I added 4 more levels due to popular request since the compo isn't over yet!

And please don't forget to come back and vote later on.

Nice job! Looks really neat, smooth and fun gameplay.
LudumAnthony18 Apr 2016, 01:12
Really fun, I didn't get it at first but I understood the mechanic quite quickly. Great music too.

Nice game, good style, music, and gameplay. Reminds me of Flow.
Jamie Guillemette18 Apr 2016, 02:16
took a bit to figure out why i could not always move the way i wanted to..
otherwise really nice job!

I really like the mechanics of this game. The 4 new levels make a huge diference!
Benjamin-L18 Apr 2016, 03:13
Very elegant design. It could use some harder levels though.

Love the game, nice puzzles, cool music.
I hope you add some more levels and stuff in the future!
orukinawa18 Apr 2016, 09:57
Great take on the theme! Feels like a regular puzzle game at first but the moving cube make it really challenging as it adds timing to the mix. Good stuff!
jdmazz18 Apr 2016, 10:57
Very fun game. Good audio sets the mood.

Nice puzzle! Music doesn't loop nicely though... other than that, great job!
Rscar18 Apr 2016, 13:08
Excellent work syncing the music to the movement! Loved it.
remiv18 Apr 2016, 13:53
intersting mechanics, interesting level from a simple idea.
Dragonbearwizard18 Apr 2016, 13:53
it's a great little puzzle game, i did find the controls and the alternating pattern a bit awkward to manage but it does add another layer to the puzzle aspect of it, well done, also the i love the way you can almost use the rhythm to help you phase through the blocks at the right time.
Danny Gallagher18 Apr 2016, 14:20
Really nice! Not sure it did much on the theme as the shape wasn't hugely important and more of feedback of where to move next, which could actually just be an arrow?

Brilliant though and great music and clean look, rated high!

Great Gameplay (Level 10 is really hard). The graphics are simple but beautiful. Good job!
M2tias18 Apr 2016, 17:18
What a nice looking game. The graphics are really clean. Music might need a bit of work though...
I love these kinds of games until they get too hard. This one didn't :D
Nice concept and good levels. Good work!

Overall nice and polished game. Clean and simple style, got variety of elements and potential to improvement. Good joob.

It was a bit hard to get used to the mechanics, but I had fun. The music is really fitting. :) Nice work! :)
mutonizer19 Apr 2016, 15:56
score 469.
I got to say, once I "got" it about going through the blocks even as they move into you, it opened up and really enjoyed it.

Very very interesting concept though not sure how it fits with the theme. I could see people playing this on mobile if done right and with lots of levels.

Very nice, kudos :)
josemorval19 Apr 2016, 16:02
pretty nice mechanic...maybe a little easy right now, but there is a lot of potential :)

This is pretty interesting, would make a great mobile puzzle game. The lose condition text boxes made me laugh.
DiFFtY19 Apr 2016, 20:00
Nice mechanics and really clean graphics. I completed it and liked it a lot !
The music is not bad but gets quickly a bit annoying :/
TheCain19 Apr 2016, 20:06
It was fun.
ciw197319 Apr 2016, 21:54
Nice. Very simple concept, well implemented, fun and enough of a challenge. Would be interesting to see what levels you would come up with given more time.

Loved the music and the eye pleasing graphics. Am elegant puzzle game. You should had more level after the compo. I could see this being a hit on mobile phones!

Made it to level 7, but got stuck between a block and the walls. Other than that, great game!
nicotuason20 Apr 2016, 06:36
I like the smooth and minimal style! It's quite hard until you realize you can pass right thru red blocks so long as they are moving. I think the game would be improved if that mechanic were made more obvious.

managore20 Apr 2016, 12:07
The first I played, I got stuck (without the "you are stuck" message) on one of the early levels and had to restart, but the second attempt went much better! Really cool idea for character movement, I'm surprised how much you have to think careful about what route you can take.
Llucile20 Apr 2016, 12:22
Nice game ! The level design is good and the game itself is working really fine.
I tested it on smartphone.

Cool mechanics and fun gameplay which I have never seen before. Music was very weird, but I like it. The way you focused on the theme is unusual. Well done ++

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Kerdelos30 Apr 2016, 18:08
This is really neat ! Only thing I found weird is being able to go through other blocks. This feels a bit counterintuitive and it is hard to time the moves correctly when several blocks are moving. Great job anyway !
Insality5 May 2016, 05:35
oh, top marks. Exelent work!
Amazing game!!!
