It's a good game. I enjoyed it.

I really like a particular ragegame... (little feedback: loop the music because it's bad that it starts again with each completed death and level)

The game looks nice and polished, would recommend adding the restart level button!

This game really nails the theme it’s polished, fun, and cleverly designed with levels that constantly keep you guessing. The disappearing floors, sudden spikes, and little tricks strike that perfect balance between frustrating and entertaining, making it one of those “rage games” you can’t help but keep trying until you succeed.

The pixel art style is simple but effective, and the music, while repetitive at times, adds to the sarcastic, almost mischievous tone of the experience. Controls could be slightly more forgiving (especially with jumps and faster restarts), but overall the design works smoothly and feels satisfying once you adapt.

It actually reminded me a lot of Level Devil, which was exactly the kind of concept that came to my mind when I first saw the jam’s theme I’m glad someone went ahead and made it. A really fun and well-executed entry. And since we’re all sharing projects, I’d be happy if you also took a moment to try the game I submitted.

I appreciate games that occasionally mess with you, but a whole game of trial and error is not for me.
I also think that the friction would be a lot lower if reloading was instant, and the music would not reset.

I like the music and  the pixel aesthetics.

The game is fun! i like that its a platformer and that the traps are unexpected and force you to memorize stuff.

A well executed die and retry, with cool pixel art style and level colors.  The jump could be more forgiving, but all in all, I had fun beating the game.

Really fun challenge! 🔥
I like rage games so this was up my alley, very clever challenges, it really fits the theme, tho I did wish the input buffer for the jump was a bit more forgiving, other than that solid game, great job!

This was a good rage quit game. If you restart faster with faster deaths, you can keep the player in the game longer (Super Meatboy tactic). The music was a bit annoying because it kept repeating. You could keep it going or use different music; it would be better. It has a simple and adequate pixel art style, and it's quite nice.Good Job!

Took turns playing with my partner until we finished the game. Fun challenges, had to do some thinking here and there :) Looking forward to the coming-soon levels :D

This game incorporates the theme very well, you can really see how polished and completed the game is which is very impressive. It feels good to play and it's very effective in doing it's job as (presumably) an irritating game. 

I just have one glaring issue and that I find that the visuals and the gameplay altogether is extremely similar to an already existing game, it is a bit hard to appreciate the visual style because of that.

Entertaining. Not too dishonest; more like sarcastic as a concept, which matches the description. Also has a lesson (not to give anything away)!

Likes: Everything works smoothly (on desktop, not my mobile devices, where it was unplayable) for what it’s supposed to do. I enjoy the colors and general style. The music is especially fun.

Dislikes: Maybe I’d return to play this one level or more levels with students. Maybe I’d hang out with the music as if it’s that one old Zelda game. Otherwise, the reminder of too many aspects of life is unpleasant, so I’d prefer to spend my time elsewhere.

Edit: Wait… I’m reading other comments. The joke isn’t hiw the game is impossible to win? We can actually move up levels?! I’ve no idea how after trying everything I can think of for the Gap level.

Nooo dude! IT'S TOO COMPLICATED

you said solution is friend we made along the  way but i don't have any friend 😭

Submitted(+2)

fun game and well made, the spike level frustrates me too much though

Developer

That was certainly not our plan  😫😫

Very nice game! Well done. At some point I was stuck inside the floor but, as you said in the description, it is all part of the plan. Good job!

Submitted(+2)

Really fun game! I managed to beat all the levels (it took me a while, ahah.) The floor disappearing and those spikes popping up at the last second had me laughing even while raging. Super fun entry, and like you said, it’s really polished. Great job!

Cool game dude. It embodies the theme. The levels are well designed, and the tricks are really well planned. Well done bro :D
