I like the game, but it could definitely use some work. On most levels I didn't use 75% or more of the maze and it wasn't until level 15 that I finally felt like I had to think a step or two ahead. I liked the colorblending aspect, similar to Colourshift, and it there are a few levels that were enjoyable. You could start with a smaller maze that forces people to move throughout the entire maze in order to complete it and then work up to larger mazes with more switches. The graphics and character alignment could use some work (sometimes I struggled to get through open doorways). As it is, I would give it 2/5 but it has potential to become 5/5. I would love to play it again with some changes/updates!

Interesting concept, but poor execution.
Collision detection needs some work, and a better description of the mechanics would be nice.
Also should seriously consider a graphical update. just looks too plain.
Lastly, text on the menu screen is the wrong size. Just looks sloppy
Could you be more specific about the text's "wrong size" ?

I'm well aware it lacks polish, but as noted, it was made for Ludum Dare 21, i.e. in less than 48 hours (more like 20 hours of work actually). I'll find some time to update it though, movement is still clunky and the graphics ... Well I'm no visual artist. As for the level design, it's random plus some tweaking for now, bit I plan on doing some proper levels.

sometimes the positioning is a little too exact. Open paths up or down are easy to navigate into, but it can be amazinbly frustrating when you want to go left or right. The character is just a little too tall, and it would probably help to allow a littl overlap, at least at the head. the light switches are a little difficult as well since you have to be perfectly aligned to use them. Also, sometimes I'd overlap two switches, one with my head and one with my feet, and activate both of them. This was especially strange when the one at my feet was on the other side of the wall. Consider making the light switches wider and shorter to make it easier to get the one you want, and just the one you want.
