Level Design Game Graphics
I really like the concept of this game, it kinda feels like the one of the ice maps from the old Pokemon games.

Positives:
- I liked the level complete animation when the blocks all fly away.
- I liked the trail that the main cube leaves behind but I think it may be slightly out of place. If the were made slightly more futuristic, I think the trail would fit in better.
- You've already got a lot of levels and the difficulty progression is pretty good.
- Controls and mechanics are solid.

Work:
- The background star image seems to be distorted in some areas, usually near the goal box. It looks black but instead of stars it has vertical white lines.
- The background could be made more interesting instead of just plain white stars. (I saw you mentioned this in your Upcoming Features)
- The colors of the blocks and the glow effect are a bit retro, not sure if that's what you're going for.

The text needs a different font, also I would prefer a flat design instead of the skeuomorphic design.

Simple and fun, nice attention to detail with the sparks and the way the map moves out. I wish I could use WASD to control. I got to the end and I found the last level to be quite finicky.

Wallslide

You are the first man on earth that can slide on walls and the public wants you to put up a show for them.Wallslide is a 3D platformer with tight controls, big jumps and wallrunning.There is currently only 8 levels but im constantly generating ideas for new ones, also currently there is not much "filler" levels, they will be added later.
Tidal Fall

Tidal Fall will be a 2D physics based platformer, set on a magical island which is slowly being consumed by the rising sea. You'll play as Kole, a stone golem intent on rescuing the island's elemental inhabitants with the aid of his water-spirit friend, Wight.Gameplay will be level-based, each challenge providing exciting and addictive action puzzles in the form of physics-based platforming. The sea is constantly rising, so your goal is to keep Kole above water for as long as possible on the rickety structures dotted around the island.The game will follow a rich and compelling storyline, introducing memorable and endearing characters along the way. With storytelling as much a core focus as gameplay, I'm putting extra effort into making this world feel real and intriguing. The demo I'm including as a download was created a while ago, and was only inteded to showcase the unique platforming style, not the story. The build you'll download is only a mere slivver of what the final game will be like. I'm looking for critique specifically on the gameplay style, so ingore the art (or lack thereof).That's all for now, hope you enjoy. [;)]
