Good concepts, I had fun playing. The controls should be tightened up by making the hit boxes slightly less exacting. Would prefer challenging levels like 15 that require thinking ahead and making correct decisions rather than pinpoint accuracy on jumps that make levels take longer without being more difficult

The physics could use some polish. The idea of a puzzle platformer is usually to challenge the player's ability to plan out a solution; not to challenge their ability to physically enact their plan

the character should be made 10-20% smaller to make it less tedious

I've done this in update 4 with a couple other control changes which should make the platforming feel better.

I find it VERY hard to control the movements -- he seems to just want to quickly jump up then down.

The controls really capture what it's like to move around as a cube..
