Really forced usage of theme, and really buggy physics. However, the levels are long, and the simplicity of the game is enjoyable.

The controls were really annoying (Why not WASD?) and I was confused by the shifting mechanic. Interesting concept though.

@dooskington: I have an azerty keyboard. Use shift+alt to change keyboard settings i guess

Nice little jump and stomp platformer. I liked how the spring rolled as you jumped. Was quite frustrting at times but I made it to the end.

Funny animations, but the're a little late, so the games controls arent quite as tight as the level design needs them to be.

Stiky walls are a feature, not a bug in this game ;) I used them quate a lot on the moving plattforms and thought it was the right way to approach the situation.

The controls make it really hard to play the game, q,s,d,z are like all over my keyboard...

The game seems like a small decent platformer.

But there were few issues:
First, controls: You know, people have different layouts, and AZERTY is definitely not the most popular one. You should bind controls to key *locations*, not letters. Unity surely has such feature.
If it's too hard to code, at least bind controls to arrow keys.

Second, no controls in mid-air. While this is physically-correct, it makes game too hard. It's usually a bad choice for a platformer.

Third, it's barely connected with the theme. Animations do not count.

But levels actually were nice.

Good job, but there is a huge room for improvement.

Forced theme and the acceleration in jump is annoying. Can be a nice game with more work :)
