Interesting but pretty bare bones and boring.

Completed game. Good use of the theme. Levels are designed well and show off many different ways to use your core mechanic. Music was very repetitive however, and platforming controls are not very great.

Pretty solid. The puzzle mechanics were great, but the controls felt unresponsive and difficult to use.

Nice game, but not enought pazzle-elements and very chalanging platformer-elements

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

Pretty good game, I like the idea of only being able to stand on certain surfaces, the music gets a little repetitive though.

Well executed, but puzzles are not very challenging.

Nice game. At first I thought it would be really hard as the idea seemed hard to illustrate but quickly was proven wrong. I really like the inclusion of a tutorial.

Great simple idea that's really fun to play. The level progression seemed a little strange as there were some simple ones in the middle, but overall great effort!

I like how you made sure that the gameplay is understood. Tuturial, help page and even first few levels were clear enough to grasp the concept of the game. After few levels the game feels a bit shallow. Maybe it has to do with the level design since every level (except one or two) has a straightforward solution - no branching, no choices, just a path to the trophy... I like the level where you fall into a pit and you need to choose a red or blue color - I would add more levels like that where you need to choose a path not just follow it.
Or maybe the game lacks some interactive mechanic - a way to move the morphing items so you can use them on different parts of the map or something like that...

The level progression was a little bit strange, but I like the concept.

Its pretty fun game with nice use of graphics.I like the concept

Cool. Gameplay pretty simplistic though, lacks a challenge. I've seen a game similar to this one with platforms falling vertically which was quite fun. Keep it up!

@Qatarknan - Thanks for the super helpful feedback! We were a bit rushed to finish the game, as I was going away!

If only we had more time to make better levels, but oh well, I guess that's how a LD goes!

nice concept

A simple little platformer.
It didn't have much, but what it did have it did well.
