That was a really cool platform speedrunning game. I like how as you progress's, you unlock more abilities to help you get through the game faster and I like how there are many different routes to take! Well done!
Rated -- loved everything about this game! SO FUN!
Very nice game idea. It was pretty satisfying to play. The only issue was the jumping hight as well as wall jumps which I gave up on after trying for a while. I would now build on this with new abilities and levels since after you will unlock all abilities and finish the game fast enough it gets repetitive pretty quickly. But still nice work.
Despite showing another game under my comment, here is a game I would like you to comment and rate if you of course didn't do so already: /jam/brackeys-13/rate/3328267
Great concept that was executed well. My only gripe is the jumping controls and height. It was a little frustrating trying to get onto platforms and wall jump using the up key.
Nice game ! I really liked the mechanic of searching for a way to die to spawn to the closest checkpoint, really well made! My highest score was 29 seconds B)
Loved this so much!
This game was so fun and interesting, i loved the idea of the same level but the more you play the more abbilities you win, the only thing that i would change would be the controls, something maybe like space for jumping and shift for dash i feel like could be great, my highscore was 31 seconds
The movement system was really satisfying. I felt that I could sit here and continue speedrunning it for like 20 more minutes. Very efficient use of the level and abilities to compete for the fastest time.
Also, I appreciate that w was jump. IT'S BETTER THAN SPACE OKAY
I really liked the gradual implementation of abilities. A great game for speedrunning. Great work!
Cool game and idea! Really liked your controls implementation, was pretty satisfying
I thought I finished the game, but then I read the insructions and then I got hooked. Retro music, stunning visuals and poor and polished gameplay. What else do we need?
Nice game and with a nice idea! The "dying to progress" idea is pretty fun, especially in the speed game types, and the leaderboard gives an incentive to play. I also liked the music a lot!
It's a pretty fun game overall 7/10
Good job man! Loved the fact that dying helps you, nice idea! Well polished game, good visuals. Particular mention should be made of the key explanations on the game page - a picture is worth 1,000 words!
Other than that, I was not able to perform the wall jump. Very good work overall!
Memorizing all the bush locations and getting there faster with new abilities was pretty fun. Speed games are always a treat for me.
Very fun, it rewards replayability and prepares you for the real challenge: the community with its absurd times.
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Your comment about the community made me laugh. I wish I could get times like that
game art and control feelings are so good!!!! love this game mood so much,but level design are so short,really wish for more content to play
Epic game! Epic concept
pretty fun game, I enjoyed every moment of it, I hope someday you make more levels. Keep it up <3
Fun platformer. I liked the background and music the most.
Pretty cool game
really nice movement, and animation is pretty smooth, love the overall pallet, gives me autumn vibes~
