Cool concept! I bet making the AI for the player was a pain in the butt.

I think it would be cool if the objective was to kill the player in some way instead of just holding them back

Overall nice job!

Thank you! Programming the character's movement was surprisingly not that bad, since it just involves auto-movement and some wall & ground detection for jumping.

(Also if you launch the guy to rank #1 right before time runs out... well I'll just say I don't think it'll be coming back :) )

unique and fun concept of playing as the obstacles rather than the character, i enjoyed playing it!

Developer(+2)

Thanks! Switching the player's and level's roles was a concept I hadn't tried before, so I'm happy it went over well!

I like how far back you can send him, although I did not understand what the score meant lol. Neat little game

Developer

Thanks! And I can see how it might not be clear what the score means. It just tracks how far away you are from the leftmost point of the level

Good Game love the gamestyle using the arrows took me a bit to figure out how to get pass them

Developer

Thanks! It can definitely take some time to figure out what all can be done with the arrow blocks, though I'm glad you still liked it

Lmao this has character, very unique! Surprisingly challenging too lol

Developer

Thank you! Honestly I didn't even intend for it to be as difficult as it is, so I hope the challenge adds some fun to the game

I like the reversal on the platforming trope. Fun concept. Looks good. Would have liked more ways to interact.

Thanks! And honestly, I actually also wanted to add more interaction variety when I was working on the game. Unfortunately, because of other things taking longer than expected, I ended up having to scrap that idea. Definitely a good idea for the future.
