love it :) we need more..

Thank you! :)
I'm working on turning this game jam version into a proper game, but it will take some more time.

This game is awesome. The update has added lots of juice and challenge. I can't wait to see where this ends up. 

Really impressive and fun game. But its very hard. I need try more times.

Thanks! And yes, some of the puzzles seem to be super hard in the beginning but when it clicks for you and you understand how the tridents can work together it makes much more sense. If you finally find the solution then it feels pretty good :)

But of course if you need help, let me know.

Seems really fun, and the art looks really nice!

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to play much because the ondulating backgrounds were making me nauseous :/. (Also, please, UP != jump)

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that! I didn't even think about the background might be a problem for some. When the game jam is over I will add an option to disable the background  and also some additional control options so everyone can enjoy the game :)

I updated the game to version 1.1. which includes and option to turn off the background distortion. If you want to give it another you should not get sick anymore :)

Really good, original and really fluently playing. Sound, visuals, all good! Begs for more levels :)

Love the concept. One of the more unique implementations of the theme. A buttery smooth experience.

I like it.  Frustrating at times to figure out the puzzle, but I made it through and enjoyed it.
The animation and play style was good.
Nicely done.
