Very very cool idea!

Puzzle are not my niche but art was simple and fire so I enjoy it more!

Congrats on your entry. This was a unique and clever idea. I think maybe the controls for the beam movement could be reworked a little bit to make it a little smoother to control. Maybe experiment with moving the beams with the arrows and moving the character with WASD? Just an idea. Good work though, and good luck

Really cool concept! I loved the mechanichs and how you had to control so many things. Thouhg the anti gravity being mirrored control was a bit too hard to get into. I'll probably play this more after the jam ends!!!

Jump key is not working when i click z or space

You have to be in the green beam to be able to jump.

Very creative and interesting idea, I hadn't played a puzzle game quite like this, taking away the ability to move except within the beam was really cool - although my fingers struggled with the keyboard controls to swap around sometimes, perhaps being able to select and drag beams with mouse would be nice? 

Loved the art, has a very nice colourful block aesthetic! I did get a little stuck when I unlocked the red beam, but cool nonetheless!

Thank you for checking out my game!

I was hearing the same thing about switching from my friends, but couldn't quite get around to fix it because it were the last days of the jam and I was focusing on making the rest of the game. I will try to bind switching to only one key/button later, since I can't update the game during the rating time.
