Too easy but really cool game !
Amazing game for Ludum Dare 45! Didn't realize it was a Rob game until the last level, but knew that art style was familiar!
adjusting game speed with + and - is the most game changing feature i've ever seen in a puzzle platformer. no more struggling on the same series of pixel perfect jumps for one hour straight because you can't pull it off.
A very interesting concept with fairly good gameplay. The movements feel rather stiff and the character falls really fast. Jumping is kind of a problem too. More levels and better controls would really improve this game. Overall it's still pretty good.
