Very nice graphics and audio, had fun with this one!

This is neat! The effects are fantastic. I found the character moved very quickly in comparison to the camera (where that was a factor), though. I would have liked to be able to Sonic the Hedgehog my way through long stretches of level but in practice mashed up against the edge of the screen almost immediately. I actually feel as though more of those big levels might suit the character movement better: the smaller, more puzzle-based ones felt a little constraining. Also I’m not positive I ever quite grasped what I was doing: shift didn’t seem to jump, but I found I could get through okay by using space (dash?) instead, but that behaved differently to pressing down, which the instructions say is dash. On that note, it would have helped to be able to play without going into fullscreen, just to be able to keep those instructions on screen. But that wouldn’t matter if I were taking a longer crack at it and had more time to get used to the controls: I’d totally play a bigger version of this.

I love the fast-paced crazy movement although it is a bit hard to control sometimes, also nice job with the visuals, cool game :)

I love the graphics, it's simple yet super atmospheric. The colors are ethereal and liminal all at once. I think the mechanics make the gameplay a bit difficult, the timing between when I click for movement and the action feels off and I can't track it well. Maybe it's "too" overpowered, or doesn't match up with the player. I got the second level, wish I could have gotten farther. All the best, hope I can play more !

There was a part where I jumped so much that I ran out of energy and got stuck. I liked the concept of the game

Thanks for playing! You can press "Y" to restart but I will switch that to "R" in the future, I'm so clumsy on controls that I kept hitting "R" on accident while playing and restarting. But I noticed most games use "R" to restart so I'm just gonna cave haha I'll check out your game and let you know what I think.

Game is nice looking with the juice and sounds are great.

The levels are nice and progressive but i got stuck in the main room after and not sure what to do?

I did not like the controls tho as I found it hard to use D to jump (Used Space for so long) and I kept dashing by mistake or failing a wall jump.

It is a nice quick game and i liked it, so good job.

It's a great game I think. A retro style jumping platformer with cool music and dialogue. Fantastic implementation. The game feel is good. Overall it's great.
