Created for the Unity Game Contest over 5 or so weeks of frenzied game-making. While not everything planned was included due to the short time available, I do believe the end product to be quite the enjoyable little game design experiment. Most of my focus was on solid level design, and furthermore, teaching the player through the simple presentation of game elements in a way that immediately facilitates their understanding.
Possibly the only thing I truly miss the inclusion of is music; while I have grown fairly attached to the strange unease caused by a completely music-less environment, I would still like to write some for a later version, to see how the player's mood (and performance) could be manipulated by appropriately tense music.
Anyhow, enjoy the game, and happy platforming!

*Jumps on block*
*BIG BLU LAZAH COMES OUT OF NOWHERE*
"WHOA.... Thats what that noise was.. Just wait for it to power down so I can proceed foward..."
*Lazer starts going up*
"OH CRAP IM SUPOSED TO BE GOING UP X3"
Good game, though maybe make the wall jumping a little bit so where you can wall jump then move back onto a platform, because I cant proceed because when i wall jump it launches me out and I cant go back :P And more recent checkpoints. 4/5.
