A downloadable game

Made for the Amber Waves of Games July 2022 Game Jam. The theme (for me) was Move Mode, so this game requires you to utilize the different modes of movement effectively to solve each puzzle.

Use WASD or arrow keys to move. Use R to reset. Use Esc to exit.

There are a couple of bugs. I'm sorry.

Since the level design isn't entirely clear, here's an explanation of all the basic mechanics:

Things you can activate:

  • Buttons - land directly on them to activate their effect; if you dash through them but don't land on them, they don't activate
  • Switches - opposite of buttons; they activate if you dash through them, but not if you land directly on them

Activation effects/colors:

  • The purple/dark blue color - move one grid space at a time; can push blocks
  • The magenta/purple color - move in a direction until you hit a block
  • Cyan color - move two grid spaces at a time; cannot land onto blocks, but can move over them
  • Yellow color - win

Miscellaneous:

  • One of the puzzles introduced this mechanic poorly, so I'm mentioning it here: you can push blocks onto buttons to activate them
  • Certain blocks that are the same color as the player cannot be pushed
  • There's a bug on one of the levels where you press a cyan button, activate a purple/dark blue switch, go back and press the cyan button, and then the switch doesn't activate this time. It doesn't break the puzzle and I don't know why it happens, so I haven't fixed it.
