That was a fun little game. I love the movement and it felt very speedrunable. I blitzed through the level and died more times than I want to admit. Great game though!!!

You're right! It was originally meant to be a speed run game, but I had to dumb down the levels to make it more game jam friendly.

Short, but enjoyed it quite a bit. The art is amazing. I got a speed buff for some reason at different points, so i didn't get what that was about.

It looks like the "spikes" aren't working as expected, but I think the game is perfectly difficult enough without them. The movement is a bit unpleasant because its so slippery, but I was able to make it to the end just fine
Overall, I enjoyed it.
