The platforming in this game is quite fun but also tight, and the timing is also quite unforgiving. However being able to respawn immediately encouraged me to spend a lot of time trying to beat this game.

The game has a great sense of momentum! There’s nothing unnecessary, which is important in games like this. The finish sections are delightfully cruel, just as they should be! I didn’t even notice how much time I’d spent playing. I think this game has a great chance in the Enjoyment category! Excellent work!

Im glad you enjoyed the game so much 😊

the artstyle really reminds me of downwell

Thanks! I didn't even think about that :)

I liked the game! The artwork was nice and it was fun to play!

However, I have to say that I feel like a very big part of the game is based on luck and I don't really like that. For example, I wasn't able to beat the second level until I was lucky enough for the items to be 5 and 3 seconds. I like the idea of having items that give you extra time, but if they are going to be necessary for completing the level, I wouldn't make them random.

That said, it was really enjoyable, good job!

Thanks for the feedback! Im glad you enjoyed the game as i too enjoyed yours :)

Thanks for the feed back and im glad you enjoyed the game, the randomness was my idea to make the game different for each players run to be less consistent. After rating is done i might make the boxes have a set two times they can spawn with so they give you a decent amount of time and be less luck based like have one box be +1, and +3 or +3, and +5 ect.

Nice and fun game, one of my initial ideas was this only that there would be limited time and you can collect time to increase it, and see how far you can go.  Did you make all the artwork too, it looks good. Overall I had fun playing it.

Developer

Thanks for the reply! I'm glad you had fun overall and yes; I did make all the art for the game :)

I loved it, it was challenging and fast paced, enjoyed that every run the bonuses are randomised, well done ♥

Fun game! I have to say the randomness hurt my enjoyment of it a little, I'm not entirely sure if that was intended. I would've liked more alternate paths, I think only the first level had some.

Developer(+1)

The randomness was planned, and i think the alternate paths is a cool idea for every level rather than every other level. didnt add one for level 3 cause of time but it would have had one.

Thanks for the reply! though I am only the artist think the randomness did make the game a bit less fun but im glad you had fun overall :)
