Hello guys, this is my first time posting here so be nice  :)
as you would of saw from the title I am developing a puzzle game.

What is the game?
The game will be a "Ice sliding" type of game where the player must get to the end of the level but only being able to move once until you hit an obstacle, similar to Pokemon with the ice gym. for some of you that don't know I will post a link to show you what I mean.

Style
The style of the game as the title suggests is going to be contrast colors BLACK and WHITE, with a simple back drop of particle effects and hopefully some relaxing music.

The game world/levels will be made up of cubes, the player will also be a cube though will wobble back and forth.

No idea about the gameplay (haven't watched any Pokemon), perhaps someone else will reply about that, but the name "Contrast" has already been used by another game that was recently released.

Just pointing out so you don't get in trouble if the game gets released  :)

Ah so it has,  :(
I have posted a link to the type of game play there will be.

seems a little boring to me, since it was a minor part of another game, and you don't say anything about expanding more on that idea?

You should definately check out a game called Kickle Cubicle (NES) as well! It's all about ice-sliding puzzles.

Wow that's brilliant, this is the type of gameplay I am going for unfortunately it would seem i haven't explained my idea well enough for everyone...
