Really nice puzzle. Don't really know where the theme was though.

Neat! I like how funny the cube climbs the stairs.

Too bad you can't rate this game for humor because the way the cube moves through the level was certainly unexpected and gave me a good laugh.

I managed to get hard stuck here, oops.

An excellent minimal games with a bunch of depth, very difficult too (or I'm just bad). I skipped around a few levels, and the quality definitely didn't deteriorate between levels. Honestly with some quality audio this could be a real genuine full release, the level of polish is great!

Only criticism I have is q/e spin a bit too quickly.

Pretty good concept, cool minimalistic design and colors, interesting puzzles.
But controls can be improved. Did you try to freeze rotation of the cube by certain axis? It can help with stucking in the corners or on stairs, i think.
Lack of sound is a shame too, especialy with cool overall design.

Cool game, good platformer/puzzle, but maybe the q/e spin is worth a tweak. Also I always fell of the green slabs because I was'nt perfectly aligned, so maybe you could discretise movements or scenes a little more, like put it on a grid? Could use music too, but that's bonus.

Very stressful but in a fun way. I found the on-the-ground tutorials a bit too far away/tiny to read properly.

The concept of this game is cool, and very challenging. The “dimensional clone” that you can summon is super interesting, and the negative color aspect (kind of angel / daemon thing) is really well done. Good job!

The dynamics of the game are nice! Very pleasant moment to play with!

Nice puzzle! Too bad there is no music, that would have set the mood. Either a stressful music or very relaxing and calm :)
The game is challenging, well balanced and with nice graphics. Good job!

I like the concept of this game. I love the simple but effective visuals and the polish you put on them. I did struggle a bit with controlling the cube. It seemed like it would more difficult than it should've been to get the cube where I wanted it. Overall though, I really like the game. Nice work!

Really very smooth and well done. Love the puzzle design and introduction of each mechanic. Add a bit of audio to this and you have a great experience! I really like that it is physics rather than grid snapping and the game benefits greatly as a result. Solid!

Enjoyed the simplicity of the game. Could have used a bit of background music but besides that, like the concept.

I didn't expect it to move with physics. Very good chose do.

The controlls are annoying but still made me smile, the black fog adds some mistery to the game... simple, small, nice game

Nice puzzles, I had a bit of trouble getting used to the physics based movement, but had fun playing.

This really wasn't what I thought it was going to be from looking at the screenshots. And when I first saw the cube move I was sure I was going to hate it, but I was wrong. There's something strangely fascinating about the janky cube controls. The the direction buttons being offset from the direction of motion, coupled with the behaviour of the cube when it not aligned with the cardinal directions. This is a far more nuanced game than it first appears. Thank you for sharing.

Good stuff :8ball:
