The only problem I could see is that it never explicitly makes it clear what you can or cannot do in game. I got stuck on a level, for example, because I had to jump to hit a switch, which I never had to do up until then and therefore did not know you could do. Which I assumed you couldn't because I tried jumping as I changed the angles early in the game and found that you can't. But apart from that, this is solid.

I enjoyed the music and the game the other audio I muted. The end scene with the guy taking a leak on that door cracked me up. It was fun, good job.

This was good, but it certainly can be improved. For starters, I found the screen to be too focused on the character. This lead to me attempting leaps of faith and ultimately dying. In addition, the lack of me being able to see all of my surroundings caused me to unintentionally walk into my death. Second, please implement a checkpoint system. It gets frustrating having to redo an entire level just because I messed up the end part. Despite these two glaring issues, this was a fun and challenge puzzle game. Despite my frustration, I still persevered through to the end. The plot was interesting and the puzzles used the mechanics well with a natural difficulty curve. 4/5. Keep up the good work.

I wish I could have zoomed out or had a map. As it was, there were times that I had to take a leap of faith, not knowing if there would be spikes or not after rotating (e.g., level 6).

That was not difficult, but I was constantly disoriented, lost, and progressing by trial and error... not really enjoyable.

Ok, seriously needs a clockwise/counter-clockwise button rather than trying to remember which way Q & E turn me. Grrrr.

Cleared the game. Puzzel style game, that has no mix of features when you complete levels as you go. If u can complete level 3, you can in it's basic complete all levels. Nonetheless good game just not my style.

Not being able to see the entire map at all times turns certain levels into a game of memorization rather than a puzzle or skill. Spikes killing you from the side is a video game trope that should have ended a long time ago.

It took me ages to find out that I could move in the air and solve level 2. The rest of the levels were perfect regarding difficulty. Die a few times, but never extremely hard. It was a nice experience.

Some of the best level design I've seen in a loooong time. Everything felt fair, and reliant on observation and puzzling rather than twitchy timing. A handful of "fussy" moments, but nothing that a little patience and trial and error couldn't fix. Each level was also a reasonable size so a failure near the end did not require exorbitant rework. Nice job! 4/5 only because of occasional "psychics" where you needed to jump to places you couldn't see.

level 7 is already super annoying. I really like these games, but I hate it if the timing needs to be excellent to progress
I imagine spikes to be like blades, rather than cones or something. Based on how common this behavior is, that's probably what many other developers imagine as well. I can see where the confusion comes from, though.

For remembering Q/E: You're pointing in the direction your feet will go. Alternatively, imagine Q moving like A & E like D except your head doesn't move

The main concept is basically as in Topsy Turvy, except that "rotating" the gravity has additional controls (and is also the biggest source of failures).
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Yeah, the biggest issue this game has is just difficulty in remembering which direction rotation occurs in.
Good game, if lacking in trap-ensnaring puzzles, but having to redo multiple levels countless times at the last second just because I forget which direction Q/E rotates me in is terrible.
I'll check back in later and up my rating if an on-screen reminder (as others have advocated) ever gets implemented.

Save points would be. SUPER nice, as the levels get longer. Navigating long tricky puzzles only to have to start completely over because you accidentally mixed up the rotational directions is. Frustrating.

Please stop putting writing across the game play area. Can be annoying having to wait a few seconds before you can see if there are spikes where you want to jump.

In the end I liked it - a bit frustrating with wrong rotation though. Hardest part wasn't the levels but to change the feel of rotation I got from other games at an important situation.
Would be funny/better if the voice will change it's text a bit.. after 3 or more deaths for example, at least the voice could "speak" without sound after the 2nd try!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
To turn the other way around would be more intuitive for me.. and then this "sound" of the voice.. every time again. After some time I wished how long I have to endure it since he talks since since 3 floors how he don't like me to go this way.. and after getting to the end of the level.. darn, wrong turn.. again :P

tis is bug game agen i tink okay nice run game i wana play run game but ten teirs IMEDETLY in lvl 1 teirs wall in te way and te ppl ingame he dont no how to jump so he cant do it so i cant do noting and its bug game so 1/5

Rotation control tip: If you want to walk on the RIGHT WALL, press the RIGHT rotation button (E). If you want to walk on the LEFT WALL, press the LEFT rotation button (Q). After I got this in my head I didn't confuse them anymore.
