I thought the lack of tutorial was fine, I had no trouble figuring out what to do. I did find the physics really hard to get used to; I had a lot of trouble timing jumps around the knife blocks, I slid off ledges a few times, and the block-pushing physics were over-sensitive to the point of randomness. Really nice concept, and I dug the puzzles, but the platforming was too demanding to be enjoyable for me.

Makes me think of the Sphinx's riddle! Love the music.

This is lovely. It could indeed use some more instructions, but I suppose we all managed to get there in the end, so it doesn't need them. I quite liked the little discoveries I made. :)

Nice game but you need more instructions. The goal is to get your player to the red/blue/green bubbling thingy. Waterfalls change your age, babies can only walk, man can jump high, old man jumps low but for some reason can bounce around on trampolines, even though old man will die if he falls from any great height so bouncing on trampolines seems suicidal lol.
