I really like the theming with the level evolving over time and seeing it change. That's very cool. There's a lot of games I've seen that involve somehow repeating the same level, and having it actually evolve on a geologic-ish time scale is one of the most effective ones I've seen, as it both means the level does actually change, but also makes a lot of sense aesthetically & narratively.

I think it is a very bad idea to send the player back to the beginning with a time limit. We are already replaying a similar level many times simply due to the nature of the level design--being forced to re-replay those similar levels again and again to win is very tedious. (Although, I'm not against tedium per se. But I don't know if that's what you were going for).

The music is also awesome.

I love the art a lot, game reminds me of a lot of Nitrome stuff. I also really like you can see the upcoming versions of the level as well. I think the level objects and background objects blend in a little too much but other than that, this is polished and good!

Hey the first Godot game i see at the Jam :D

Very cool character, and love the artstyle. As feedback, i missing somethning that makes the game origional at the start. Later on i see whats going on, but at the start its just like any other platformer. I would start with something " new" in the first level. I do love the one screen level design, overall very clean and focused, well done!

Amazing art and music. The platforming movement is well polished. Timer is pretty strict but still fun.

Excellent audio and art. Can't beat it but I really like the vibe

Really liked the evolving music, and also seeing the future level in the background, failing the time limit is maybe a bit harsh, having to go all the way from the start, but cool nonetheless

Artwork and audio are all-around stellar. Gameplay-wise, it admittedly felt like a fairly plain (if difficult) platformer with a very irritating time limit that ultimately lead me to give up after dying on the final level. I feel like more could have been done with the corpses of your past selves getting left behind on the spikes, but the time limit makes it so abusing that is actively discouraged. Shaky gameplay for me personally, but everything besides that is genuinely super good.

Love the art! Love the music! Nice concept. Makes me remember "this is the only level" a little bit

This game is so cool, but super hard!! Finally beat it. The adaptive music adds so much to this game, i love it so much. The art is great too, but it can be hard to tell what's a platform, whats a background prop, and whats a spike. All really great work, love it :)
