This is really a cool concept! Platforming was little difficult though.

Thanks! That's very good feedback. I've always struggled tuning and balance of those sorts of precision skills. I spend so many hours testing the game as I build. So it's hard for me to put myself in the headspace of a new player.

by the way... I found you through your youtube channel where you talked in-depth about tower defence games... 
I found that really insightful... Almost stalked you until I found this. Thanks for the effort you put in those videos.

I'm very glad to hear that. Thank you for letting me know.

Interesting concept executed well. I especially like the blocks that make the player rethink each level.

Thanks! Yeah that was one of the last pieces of the design to click into place. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

So cool

Thank you! It's a weird mix of mechanics, so I'm not sure how it'll strike everyone. So I really appreciate hearing you liked it. :-)
