Use of the limitation
in this game you are faced with the most definitive finite quantity on earth: your time left to live. each stage you have only 10 seconds. also I tried to let the theme (freedom) influence the vibe of the game but that's pretty abstract I guess.

4 or 5 I think

This was a great game. Occasionally while running on walls / ceiling, it’d feel like the controls swapped in a weird way, but everything was short enough to where that didn’t really matter. Beat the game, and there’s only a couple levels that I’d rank as more frustrating than fun. With the amount there, and the time available, that’s better than anyone could expect.
This is one of the most addictive games I’ve played in recent times. The feel of the movement and the gameplay loop is so refined, it’s so fun to optimize stages as much as you can, and almost every new hazard is introduced slowly in an easily digestible way. I also really enjoyed they ability to run on walls and ceilings, it added a lot of depth to the level design that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise.
I did have a couple problems with the movement though, the main one being that horizontal movement felt really different between ground and air, which was somewhat frustrating in a precise game like this, 2-6 in particular I really struggled with this. Also, if you run into a wall, and then jump, it looks like you actually get your running momentum, meaning it’s easy to slingshot yourself way past what you were aiming for if you’re not specifically trying to avoid it. That said, I did enjoy that there had to be some planning when attempting a stage, and especially routing later on, ensuring the game wasn’t just blindly speeding to the goal. And the presentation is stellar, the graphics are simple but well done, making things easier to parse at a glance, the effects were great, the music was great, it really is just an all around great game. Well done!
10/10
This could perfectly be the winner. Merry Christmas

A+ for effort and also A+ for execution! It's very easy to get addicted to it!
nice mix of action and puzzle. Hard af but satisfying to play through the levels.
I really love this game! The pixel art is so smooth and the SFX are so on point! Really fun and enjoyable gameplay too! Well done!
Wow this is so cool! It reminds me of a flash game I used to play back in elementary school.
Really nice! I liked it.
Great and fun to play game!
Great game!
loved the idea and the presentation
Amazing difficulty curve!! and well chosen mechanics!
fun game, good flow. Enjoyed the sound effects as well. Got hard stuck on 2-7.
This game is so well polished, really got hooked playing this!
Really nice art and music, finished world 1, couldn't finish world 2, but it has a lot of potential, good job!
Didn't get through all the levels but it's a pretty fun game! The controls were a little finicky, I kept expecting that once I flipped direction I would have to use the opposite key (A instead of D to go left, for example).
