A very polished game! I loved the visuals, the gameplay, and the gamepad support. Checkpoints would have been nice, but I think skipping them also makes sense for this kind of speedrun game. Great job!
Let's say I'm a bit late, but thanks a lotttt dude!
The idea of evolving with speedrun tricks is really great, and the visuals and the music are also very good. Only the wall-jump is a bit hard. Mastering the speedrun tech can be tough, but I don't think this is an issue because this is already the case in other games. You did a really nice job! 👍
Very impressive animations, the overall visual is so nice, nice audio, wall jumping is a bit hard tho:3
A very unique and interesting visual style, but something feels off about the controls
Cool, interesting atmosphere, but wall jump is hard to do
Really cool conceptually, but the execution is a bit iffy. You're way too slow with base movement and not being able to build momentum feels rough, and the specific techs are hard to replicate, it asks you to learn a lot. Visually, the game is great though.
If it helps, I just increased base movement speed. None of the technical movement should be required anymore. I had to tone down the difficulty a little bit.
Good idea, but the player need more movement poolish
How so? What do you suggest? I appreciate feedback.
Jump higher when you press Jump. I couldn’t do FirstCouch + Jump + Right That’s it (:
Cool concept, just wish I could actually run
do you mean run in game or the game isn't loading for you?
run in game, I was just walking
