great idea!

This game grew on me. Initially, I wasn't sure if I was playing it correctly or progressing, but as I unlocked more time and speed, I felt like I had more control and could progress even further, explore further. I think at some point double jump and wall jumping unlocked, or maybe it became more usable with better boot upgrades?

Either way, I think it was a cool way to make a space unfold and reveal itself, and I think with a larger map and perhaps an expanded unlock system with a growing web of skills you can pursue, it would be even more satisfying for longer.

Nicely done! :D

very cool concept but difficult to master. i still had a fun time leveling up my guy in hopes to defeat the count

Hard to jump from one side to the opposite, also few constructive feedbacks:
1. The level up screen transition can be smoother
2. The initial 5 seconds timer is too small, can set it to somewhere at 10s
3. The initial player speed is too slow, can increase it to the 1st tier upgrade

I liked the artwork and music!

Cool game, but the controls felt a bit off.

A little tedious on the start, but it is funny!
