Cool idea and sound design! I would recommend watching the GMTK video on platformer controls & playing the demo. Also the game is pretty hardcore

Cool game! I like how the timers create quick skill checks amongst the traditional platformer, reminds me of geometry dash!

Nice game ! I really like the idea and the graphics fit well together (also the game is pretty hard but I like it).

Game didn't work for me, just a black screen when loading a level. I'm on MacOS so I can't test out the download version.

Really cool game (too bad im pretty bad at platformers), I can also relate to the browser not working.
