Nice job! I think the concept is pretty smart!

Maybe for the next jams, make a web version, you’ll get much more reviews and plays (sadly people don’t download games anymore!)

I know, and I should have done that in the first place. I just didn’t have the time I usually do.

Really stressful on the last one, the deaths on the spikes when I walked into them was so annoying. Great game!

I can't believe this has only been rated by 2 people so far! This is such a well polished game, I love the animations and the music is really neat! Well done!

I like how the music escalates as you get closer to the end. Wish there was more variety in levels, they sometimes repeat in the same run, even in a row. I could not get the hang of the wall jumping needed for some vertical levels.
