Design Statement
the music start very empty and quiet then it grow more and more and in the end it go back to silence. for me it feel like a world that lost his sound and slowly wake up again. so i make a game about bring the sound back to a silent world

my main ideas:
the song is the timer. every level is one time the song and you must ring the bell before the music stop
the movement is fast with double jump slide wall run and dash so it feel like you flow with the music
the world get colour when your echo touch it and the sky get more bright when you come close to the bell
i use the track not changed and everything work on the 120 bpm beat of the song

Game Instructions (launch steps, controls, and gameplay overview)
controls
WASD = run
mouse = look
space = jump and double jump and wall jump
ctrl or C (hold) = slide
shift or right mouse = dash in the air
left mouse or E or F = echo (do it on the beat)
R = restart level
esc = pause and settings

how to play
the world is almost invisible. click on the beat to send a echo. the echo show the level and make ghost bridges solid for 4 beats

Dope! Really enjoyed playing the game. It's similar in concept to my game UPLINK, which is also about running but a bit more parkour. No AI being used whatsoever really sold it for me! Keep up the great work, man.

Really enjoyed this one! The level design was great and the controls felt really smooth. I especially liked the little notes between levels. When everything clicked and I was moving in sync with the rhythm, it genuinely felt like running through the sound! My only criticism would be hearing the jam's theme loop throughout the entire game, but I completely understand the decision, especially with the challenge of building rhythm based mechanics within the jam's time constraints. Great work!
