Very good looking game. And also a good way to keep to the 1-bit restriction while still having more colors. I felt that the game was a bit slow, both in terms of the timer, but also the movement speed of the player and those enemies that dangle from the ceiling.

Overall, it's a great game. Very creative!

Yes for whatever reason I put the "spiders" at somes places thinking that the player need to times their jumps, but they are too slow so you wait forever until they go away... XD

The main mechanic is such a clever idea, and the sounds are hilarious! The art and animations also fit so well with the background, giving the whole game a really nice and unique aesthetic.

I love it, good game! :D

Oh ! Nice level generation. And I love the sprite of the enemies walking in weird positions, and moving at the sound rythm.

I had too much fun doing the animations XD

And we have too, watching them ;-)

Very cool game and great music!

Interesting core concept that is well implemented, but I don't think having the flip happen on a timer makes for good gameplay. It makes the player feel without control and it quickly just gets a little annoying. I would recommend changing it to be based on buttons/areas in the level or a player-based trigger with a cooldown or resource. 

The visuals and presentation is great! So much cool art and small details like the particles floating up from the ground or dripping from the platforms. Makes for such a thick atmosphere and creepy vibe. Nice work!

Developer

Yeah the timer is a little too long, you really need to remember where is everything before it change back. But since it is tied to the music I can't really change it now :)

I have made the Hitboxes really smalls so it doesn't feel unfair but it still quickly get difficult.
