This is a very cool concept and an interesting take on perfection platformers! Like some others said, the wall jumping was a bit too difficult for me to make it very far. The part that was giving me the most trouble was I instinctively want to hold the key for the direction I'm moving in after I jump off a wall so I will stick to the next wall but doing that cancels the velocity in that direction which feels unintuitive. I think if you fixed that, it would improve the feel a lot. Regardless though, this was very nice!

Really fun game. I love the platform design that lets you really benefit from your upgrades. Very well thought out. The wall jumping was a little difficult for m, but it was still really fun to speed your way up the tower. Awesome take on the theme, and very well done.

Cool take on the theme! At first I thought it wasn't very creative but then I made it to the boots and realized how good the idea was. Nice job :D

What a unique idea. My one critique would be the controls but other than that it's a fun time!

It's a bit complicated, but it will be the best for speedrunners. I hope you finish the game and add it to the rating table

It was a really fun platformer,  sometimes i died and i didn't get why. But i has potential it's true!

Probably it wasn't shown clear enough, but when the timer runs out, you fall asleep, starting the next loop (so I think that's why you "died very suddenly").
Thanks for playing tho! :)

I feel like there's of potential here, but I had a real hard time getting past the upgraded boots.  I'm glad you're already planning a post-jam update to improve the controls, because the art is nice and the concept is good.

Thanks, yeah we'll put out a post jam update :)

Very cool idea! Im not good in tight timeline situations, so I stopped playing after getting the boots (which I did not get until my 5th run). But I think this idea is a great one!

Thanks for playin!
