Thank you so much for playing and for the kind words! I'm really glad the movement clicked for you and that you enjoyed the story and the replay value. You are 100% right about the negative points:
The Jankiness: I completely agree! I ran out of time to polish some of the edge cases and movement logic, so it definitely ended up a bit rough around the edges.
Skipping Cutscenes: A quick retry is absolutely essential for a game like this, but I literally ran out of time before the deadline to code a skip button. I submitted the game with 2 minutes left on the clock, lol! It is definitely the first thing on my list for a post-jam update! Thanks again for the awesome feedback and for the congratulations! :D

I'm so glad you noticed the Rayman inspiration! I actually based it heavily on the time trials from Rayman Legends specifically, rather than Origins. Legends built those levels purely for speedrunning, whereas Origins mostly just added timers to levels you had already played without pressure. Actually, the first level is the only one that really captured that Origins vibe, since you kind of play through it twice.

I completely agree that the retry system needs to be way snappier (like skipping the cutscenes). I really wanted to add that, but I literally submitted the game with only 2 minutes left on the clock, lol!

You're also totally right about the loop exit feeling weird. I programmed it to time out the air movement, but the moment you touch the ground, it snaps back to your input direction. I knew Rayman didn't handle it like that, but I didn't have time to boot up the game and study their exact logic, so it ended up a bit janky.

As for getting stuck in the destructable wall (I assume you mean the one after the loop in level 3?), that's a funny bug. When Jacarilo goes through a loop, only the sprite rotates, but the hit detection stays locked to your directional input instead of following the sprite. It definitely shouldn't be like that, but again... ran out of time, lol! I definitely need to manage my pacing better for the next jam. Thank you so much for playing and for the amazing detailed feedback. I really appreciate it! :D

Thanks a ton! :D I really appreciate you understanding the missing .pck file situation, lol, silly me! I'm super glad you enjoyed the speedrunning aspect of the game. Making it fast and chaotic was the main goal! Thanks for playing and for the awesome comment!

Thank you so much! Hearing that you found the mechanics fun is a huge compliment. And thank you for the kind words on the music and art, having the game called underrated really made my day! Also, I am really relieved that you understood the .pck file issue, lol! The final hours of a game jam are always so chaotic, silly me! Thanks for playing and leaving such an awesome review!

Thank you so much! Hearing that the character design and animations stood out to you is awesome. I spent a lot of time tweaking that camera swivel, so I'm really thrilled you liked it! I absolutely love that you got a agent vibe from the soundtrack too. I definitely plan to lean even more into that stylish, fast-paced action in the post-jam updates. Thanks for playing and leaving such great feedback!

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such an incredibly detailed and thoughtful review! I really appreciate it, especially coming from a fellow dev who knows firsthand how tricky it can be to balance a time-based platformer! Hearing that you enjoyed the game and being mentioned alongside classics like Pizza Tower and Sonic is a huge compliment! Your feedback points are completely spot-on:

Cutscene Skip: Totally agree. Running out of time was the only reason it wasn't there, making players watch it repeatedly definitely hurts the pacing. It's priority #1 for the post-jam update!
Hit-stops: I honestly hadn't even stopped to think about hit-stops! That is a very good suggestion! Adding a brief pause on impact would give the combat so much punch and help players re-orient themselves.
Lore and Mosquito: You made a really good point here. I ended up leaving the mosquito out because of the time limit, and with all the jam pressure, I didn't have much time to think of an interesting story to tie it all together. So the narrative definitely ended up floating in the air, just like you said. I completely agree.
Categorization: You're 100% right! In Brazilian Portuguese, "racing" translates to "corrida", a word that can simply mean running on foot, without specifying if it's like Formula 1 or MotoGP. But now that you mentioned it, "racing" in English definitely gives off a Need for Speed or Forza Motorsport vibe rather than a speedrun game. Action/Speedrunner fits way better!

Thanks again for playing through all three levels and for giving such constructive, high quality feedback. I am really glad you enjoyed it, and I wish you all the best with your game as well!

Thank you so much for playing! I'm really glad you had a great time and found the movement satisfying! That's a great point about the camera shake, I will definitely address that in a future update, either by reducing the default intensity or adding an option in the settings so players can adjust it or turn it off completely. Thanks again for the awesome feedback and for checking out my game!

Thanks a lot! Also, huge apologies for making you watch those intro slides over and over, totally ran out of time to code a skip button before the deadline! I'll definitely fix that in a post-jam update. Glad to hear you enjoyed the paths and the art style, though!

P.S. And sorry again for completely missing the mechanics of your game at first, totally my bad!

Thank you so much! I am so happy you liked the game. Leaving out the tutorial for the loopings was a deliberate leap of faith, so seeing you pick up on it naturally feels amazing! Thanks for playing, I really appreciate it!

Thanks a lot! I am really happy that the art style and the sound effects hit the right note for you. I apologize for the lack of a proper exit button, making you Alt+F4 definitely wasn't the plan! I've noted this down and will add a exit button in the next patch. Thanks for taking the time to play and review!

Thank you so much! I am really thrilled that you loved the art style and the overall vibe! The audio was super fun to put together, so hearing that you found it amazing really makes my day. Thanks for playing and for the awesome feedback! :D

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked the art style and the overall vibe! About the timer: the system actually broke at the very last minute, and since I couldn't fix it in time, I decided to just disable it. And I absolutely love your theory about Jacarillo's fist! Let's just say it's a very aggressive thumbs-up! lol

Thank you so much! It’s amazing to hear that this is one of your favorites! I completely agree that the controls feel a bit awkward. Using the Shift key for the dash was really just a habit, since so many games do it, even if it doesn't feel quite right here. For future updates, I plan to move the attack and dash commands to the mouse and to keys like J and K to reduce the overload on the WASD hand, and I will also add an option for control customization. Thanks again for playing and for the fantastic feedback!

Thank you! Hearing that you had so much fun with the attack + run combo mechanic means a lot to me. I really wanted the movement to feel fast and crazy. Thanks for taking the time to play!

Thanks a lot for playing! I really appreciate the kind words. That specific "clunky" and chaotic feel is a big part of the fun I want to build. I'm thrilled you loved it and found it charming. I'll keep working on it!

Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm really glad you enjoyed the movement and momentum. Hearing that it has the potential to be a full game is incredibly motivating! I'm also thrilled that you liked the art style. Thanks again for playing!
