Description
*Epilepsy Warning:* despite the fact that this game likely won't trigger an epileptic attack (as several epileptics have mentioned to me), I'm putting this warning up just to calm people down in the comments ;)
This was just a quick design exercise that I made in a day and a half. I wanted to teach the player a couple simple to learn mechanics and then throw them into some extremely distilled metroidvanias.
I'm posting it here just to see what people think, so let me know!

Game is basic enough a level editor would be a great addition. Sequel suggestion: Add a 'more time' bonus icon to make levels more interesting.
Damn, the timer's actually an awesome suggestion I did not think of at all. It'd only take me 5 minutes to implement too! Thanks :) The level editor is harder to do, so probably not for this game. I've got another game I'll definitely have a level editor in though.

Warning: The last level of this game may induce seizures.
I reduced the rate at which the colours flash. Sorry for the headaches, dudes.

Note: do not say "this is the end of the game" or people like me will really believe you.

Needs level select and mute.
Mute's in now. The game's too small to warrant the time it'll take to put in a level select, sorry guys.
