Not a lot of "countdown", but cool idea

Submitted

the little angel is really cute. losing passion for your projects happens all the time, and you did well with the time you had! good luck with your future projects!

Unsure how the feathers are a scarce resources, as you never really need to use them, but the idea is there. If the feathers become necessary, you might want to have some backtrack mechanism, or a way to replenish some when you really need it so that the player doesn't get indefinitely stuck

Cute platformer but the controls aren't super intuitive, maybe use space to jump instead of W, and shift to dash? Good effort!

Submitted

Uh, the platforms… don’t visually appear. They just don’t. Maybe it’s because I’m playing on Firefox and not Chrome, but like I don’t see why that’d cause the platforms to be invisible.

either way, it unfortunately is not very playable because of this.

I like how it fits the theme, with the feathers being the thing that “counts down” as you use them, but I couldn’t play far to see how it’s used because the platforms were invisible.

weird. i'm using firefox, and they appear just fine for me.

Trying again after disabling some addons, it seems to be working now… odd. I whitelisted itch.io for canvasblocker and the font-fingerprinting detector thingy, so I don’t get why it wasn’t working with them on…

very retro nice suggestion is switching jump W to Space to make it much comfortable to play, anyways nice game keep it up

Submitted

The game is pretty simple, but it does work well and I do see the vision, hopefully one day you can come back on this idea.

Nice

A game-long currency is such a creative idea, good work on what you were able to get done

The idea of having a limited "currency" of platforming ability was really interesting, it is a shame you didn't finish it up.  I see potential.

Cute Sprite!

I like the idea, and the platforming risk/rewards it could allow for. That being said, you don't need to dash at any point , so I just kept all my feathers

Submitted

Nice!
