First of all I like the simple design of the character and the bold colors. :) But in my opinion the player controls feel a bit floaty. And I'm also not so happy how the game mechanics work, cause a lot of passage have symmetric design, so it's not very useful. And if not, it feels a bit weird to wait for the timer so that the passage can be solved.

Pretty fun, I like the gravity changing mechanic, and the levels seem to be pretty well designed around it. I just had a bit of trouble with the final jump so I ended up using my momentum from the fall to clip into the wall and solve it that way. The game could definitely use some sound effects, but otherwise, not bad!
Overall, I think the game has an individual take on the theme. Well done :D
