The character glowing brighter after refilling at checkpoints is a really cool concept, nice use of the theme!

The fading light combined with the platforming — that's a first for me in a game, and it's a ton of fun 😄

How did you guys make pixel art this detailed in just 4 days?? 👀

A couple of things I'd love to see:

• The attack and jump take a bit of getting used to at first  — slightly longer platforms would give players a bit more room to play it safe.
• The main menu background is gorgeous ✨ It'd be great to see it used as an in-game background too!

Already rated it, by the way!  if you've got a couple of minutes, we'd love a play in return: 

cont.up — you're a tiny CRT television dodging falling digits on a phosphor-green screen. Plays in the browser, one run takes about 1.5 minutes. /jam/gmtk-jam-2026/rate/4827829

One of the few games I managed to complete. I discovered that shooting enemies is literally "a waste of time" lol. I managed to zip by everything and get to the door quickly.

yay!! loved it^^ played twice to see both endings

very nice level design forcing you to have to be very fast lol, fun game
