A cool platformer / infinite runner hybrid game! It's fun to see how all of your movement tools work together, though it isn't clear when I'm able to double jump or dash, and getting hurt slows the game to a crawl. The random level layouts are also cool, even if they get repetitive after a while.

Loved the hook and slow fall dash mechanics :)

I like grappling hooks

super good game, feels very nice to play. the grappling hook felt a little strange since it didn't really pull me up but it was good for the extra jump. directional dash was super fun to cut corners with. great work!

Developer

Thank you!

In regards to the grappling hook, this is a bug. It happened to me once during submission hour, but never before or after, so I don't know what causes it. Restarting the game solved it for me.

Cool platformer mechanics, like the way you can combine them as the cooldowns get refreshed.

Developer

I love it! The player controller is very good and the sfx/music is on point. Reminds me a little bit of SpeedRunners :)

Developer

Thank you :D. Spent quite a while on dialling the physics in, so happy to hear it feels nice to others too :).

You're right, SpeedRunners was a major inspiration for this game! Was initially planning to differentiate it more, but probably like many games, I had to reduce the scope during the jam, haha.

managed to get through 3 stages!! plays really good on controller! reminds me of streemerz from action 52 (in a good way)

Developer

Nicely done! Think that that's also my current high score, haha.

Also interesting. Never heard of that game before :).
