That was a really nice aesthetic. I’ve considered spikey platforming before, and this was some nice implementation. I did find the input for jumping from spikes confusing because of the axis and being able to control the player before the level fully resets made me fall off too soon too often. But overall it was a nice trip through the desert. Nice job!

This game is beautiful!! I did find the spike mechanic very frustrating at first, but eventually I got the hang of it! I think a little bit more information in the tutorial section could help players avoid the initial frustration. Overall I really enjoyed it!

It is a bit frustrating that you first have to release the direction you want to leap in and there is no margin so you can release the mouse button a bit earlier or at the same time, and I think some parts of the level design could definitely be less generic and focus more on the main mechanic. It's best aspects are for sure aesthetics and feedback to the player, they make it really easy to learn how to play. Cool game!

Absolutely loved the humor in the "How to play section" and the transitions. Overall all of the visual aspects were top notch. As for the gameplay, unfortunately it wasn't for me :( Guess we can say, skill issue. I wasn't particularly fan of the idea that in order to leap left - I need to hit right and vice versa. It is still a really nice game and I think you've done an amazing job.

Ah, Pikiboiii, we meet again! I remember battling through Unappeasable during the Goedware Jam  and you snagged that first-place visual crown like it was forged for you.

And here you are again, probably about to make the leaderboard your permanent residence.

This new game? Absolutely stellar. It’s got that unmistakable “Pikiboiii” flavor : bold, stylish, and mechanically slick.

Thanks for sharing another gem! Keep spoiling us!

Holy shit this game looks incredible! Amazing visuals and such a cool game mechanic

It's a little too hard for me, but that's fine. I really found the bloating yourself up and launching yourself away movement satisfying

Great game, full ratings from me :D
