wow its difficult, wouldve appreaciated more polish in terms of camera and maybe a different button for Dash and jump, otherwise a good game and a nice interpretation of the Spin to win theme.

This game is difficult but in a fun trail and error way, i love the main guy's animations and the collectables you have sprinkled for those that want to push themselves! very serious indeed

The game is very cool and well in the theme, I'm just bad at playing it and find it quite hard myself. I did not have the patience to master those advanced techniques but you explained them well in detail and i'm impressed that you implemented all those fine controls and combinations.

In the tutorial level, I could barely see the platforms (black on black) and had to squint at my screen. I understand you are in a dark and grim slaughterhouse but please add a little bit of contrast.

I like the animations of the character and visuals in general, as well as the sound effects. Some gory particle effects when you hit the blades would be so good in my opinion.

Overall, well done!

Man, I’m biased because I love platforming challenges, so for me, your game was really satisfying to play, and I liked the music.

that's exactly the kind of person i make games for because im that person too... it's so hard for me to gauge what's hard to the average player because i grew up with super meat boy and iwbtg lol

i understand it's kind of a niche appeal thing these days, but if i have a short amount of time im just gonna make levels that satisfy me without too much polish or balancing. i definitely went a bit overboard on the last couple rooms though.

im really glad you enjoyed it! the feeling is mutual--good luck with your game too

(oh, and feel free to hit me up if you need music for a game, i am lookin for portfolio work)

I love the audio. The three (or six) saws moving up and down are either really difficult, or I'm missing how to clear it. I like the collectible piglets that could be found around the levels.

I'm not ready for the Path of Pain gameplay. I think this is Ten times harder than that. With my best ability, I could only made it through the first two rooms and that's it.

The movement felt well responsive, I like so many features of it, but the obstacles were too much. I can see that this could be a game for some hardcore platformer players, very nice.

The pig is definitely my favorite part of the game—it looks really cute! I also liked how the controls feel. Good job!

The game looks great, i love the art and it feels good to play. Definitely difficult though!

Now I'm no stranger to dark mode, but that starting sequence was DARK. Also I feel like it was a big jump from normal jump to having to dash, jump, and hover in order to make it, especially in such a dark space. I got porked by the gameplay too, pretty hard. Overall though great game!

sorry about that, i released a patch that should make it brighter. it might've been an issue with how it shows up on my monitor and perhaps gamemaker HTML exporting. thanks for your feedback and for playing!

I liked the game! It was pretty tricky!

Very cute animation and the mechanic is fun! The grey graphics for the map moving to the side with the pig made me a little bit motion sick. I wasn't sure if the first level was meant to be dark? I was sitting for a few minutes before realising I could move haha.

thanks so much for playing, i'll make the first room a bit brighter next build i upload i kind of thought it was too dark but i was very short on time lol
