Despite seeming a bit unpolished/unfinished, this was actually a lot of fun.
Good job!
:)
Obviously you didn't have time in the jam for this; but I would appreciate it if you added an initial tutorial that was more forgiving while introducing the mechanics.
I'm not familiar with parkour games in general.
So, it took me multiple attempts before I even discovered that you can walk on the walls (I kept trying to time instant wall jumps).
Then, as I did manage to progress, I had to sort of guess (in midair) how to do the next section, or else start all over.

I really enjoyed this. I got addicted to messing up the run, then going back and trying to perfect it. Sometimes my guy would stop sliding or stop running on the wall, which would screw up the run.
I got to the drone twice but missed my shots I'm guessing which sent me all the way back to the start, it's a bit of a rough scenario to introduce the shooting so quickly with such punishment.
If you cleaned up the controls a bit and made them more reliable, maybe added a trail for each shot so there's a bit more feedback about the shooting, and added some more music and art, this could be quite cool. Nice job!

Thirty LoopThanks a lot for the detailed feedback! You're absolutely right—I ran into some time management issues, and ended up focusing more on features like the leaderboard instead of refining the core mechanics and balance. If I had more time, I definitely would’ve tuned the difficulty better and polished the controls. I really appreciate your suggestions, especially about the shot feedback and sliding—those are super helpful for a post-jam update!
It's a bit wonky, but actually really addicting! Movement feels pretty nice and the idea of doing the same course in a loop with new challenges is neat. Was quite hard to make it through more than one loop for me tho with some glitchy behavior.
Would be nice with different colors for bouncy platforms etc. Also having to hold sprint was a bit iffy...

Internal ReviewPretty normal game, everything kills you immediately which kinda sucks.
