Fantastic game! I really like the concept of purchasing upgrades with your time, it really made me strategize which ones would allow me to pick faster routes, and which ones were just a waste of, well, time xD. I fully enjoyed the game and I am looking forward for an expansion in the future, if you ever decide to make one :)

This is good, I like how I can tweak what the level is. The character is cool too, but I have an affinity for slime-like creatures lol

This was really fun! Though the platforming was occasionally a bit tricky, the game ended up being almost a kind of puzzler, which I hadn’t expected. I liked how some levels had multiple routes through them, so that different combinations of upgrades could be used. The art and music were quite charming, too. I do think, though, that the game ended a bit abruptly; the dash had just been introduced, and I found it more difficult to beat the final level with than the speed boosts, so I didn’t even really get a chance to use it. Even just one more level serving as a final challenge (maybe a longer, scrolling one?) would’ve done wonders, I think. Still, this was a great time! Nice work.

Extremely creative use of the theme, I love how there were clearly multiple possible answers to each puzzle and I really liked the effect of selecting an upgrade to use. I also really liked the art as well, and that the song tends to run out at the exact same time you run out of time.

Great stuff overall, I really hope you expend on this in the future, there's a lot of potential here!

Read on discord that this was a hidden gem and low key agree! Buying upgrades with your time is so smart and gives you different ways to complete levels. Awesome entry!!

Very fun platformer! The level with the dash was so satisfying to get right. Well done!

This was actually incredibly fun! The level design was intuitive and engaging, and the the little crescendo the music does as the timer ticks down was awesome. Very unique, interesting, and well-executed concept!
