Super cool that you did something procedural and loved the simple but strong idea of two inputs for a mechanic. I'm sure this took quite some time to build. Congrats.

I didn't get too far, I'm not very good at platfomers and that's definetely tougher one.

For controls I would add possiblity to jump with space key, so only one action is performed via mouse (and that makes it's playable on touchpad :D.

For UI it would be great to have best score in the main menu (even only from single session)

I appreciate that you tried to include a speed slider for a difficulty option, but it needed to adjust the game's speed scale and not just the horizontal speed. Lower speed settings actually make some jumps impossible the way it is!

I think the difficulty was a bit overtuned, but I do like the core concept a lot!

I tend to struggle with making a game that isn't difficult on these jams. The time frame is short and I'm used to playing games with a higher skill ceiling so I just work with what feels natural.

Thanks for playing though!

Pretty unforgiving, but it kept me coming back. Once I got the hang of it, it was pretty satisfying :) I think the speed that you lose life touching the fire might be a bit much, and I agree about moving the camera forward. But I could definitely see myself playing this for a while, so nice job!

Very reminiscent of my real life ice skating experiences, running into spikes, shooting at red things that appear in my vision. That last thing happens though even when I'm not ice skating... anyways sweet candy canes and speed slider, slick!

The art is very pleasing to look at, sound effects are nice and gameplay is fun !

The camera definitely needs to be moved forwards though, a good amount of the game's screenspace ends up being useless since there's nothing happening on the left of our character. Makes it hard to see where some ennemies's bullets are coming from too !

Some flying ennemies also blend in with the background a bit too much, thought bullets were appearing out of thin air at certain points ^^ more of a nitpicky thing though

Aside from that, the healing from shooting hostile bullets was a really nice mechanic ! Great work on your game <3

Thanks for playing.
Now that you say that I wonder why I didn't put the camera forward since there's no reason to see behind the player. Cameras can be tricky sometimes :p

I really liked the overall aesthetic! The controls are simple but a bit hard to get at first... might just be me... I was kinda bad at this game lol
Congrats!

This game is fun, the sounds are well put, it's also challenging.
The controls were a bit rough at first

Congratulations! :)

i like how responsive the controls are, but some sfx seem to be much louder than the other. also it may be a bit difficult, but maybe it's just me
