Amazing game! It was fun to optimize the "world records" although it would've been cooler if they were actual world records

good job!

Probably the most fun game I've played this jam! The feel of the character was really well done. It's crazy how much depth you can add to a single sprite, that isn't even animated. I had a lot of fun beating the "world records" and the choice to live until the end or die at the beginning is really cool. Plus, the sound design was great! Especially when turning into a ghost. This game is really polished, too. Overall, amazing work!!

The Pain Train of Time

I really enjoyed liked the animations haha. I especially like the slightly faster wiggle the human makes when falling! turning into a ghost fit the theme really well and was a cool mechanic. Could not really find anything wrong with the game, had fun from beginning until the end!

Was fun and got my competitiveness to get the world records, but only got 4 hahaha, looks very polished and extra points for being able to play it on a browser and with settings.

Hey, fun game! I was able to beat it. Tight controls, fun levels, good concept, overall very nice. I imagine the WRs are hardcoded into the game, but would be kinda interesting to have real WRs. Only notes I have are that it'd be nice if the timer didn't start until you start moving or something so that you don't have to hold a direction while resetting to get the fastest time. Also, I once had a bug where I spawned as the ghost when resetting. Well done, thanks for making it!

Remembering The Good Times

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, the World Records are hard coded in, in retrospect I should have picked a better name for them but I felt the allurer of 'World Record' would motivate the player. I'll try to fix the ghost spawning bug. I like the idea of time starting on movement, I'll play around with that and see what I can do! Thanks again!

Very good game. The platforming feels good. Minimal animations go well with the simple visual style. You even have a timer to encourage speedrunning and replayability.

The only improvement I can suggest is more, more animations, more levels. Great job!

Very good game. The only flaw i had it that sometimes you could jump right in the air and therefore make a double jump. I think this wasn't intended because it very rarely happened. But good game defenetly in the top <5% of the games.

IanGoGoDeveloper3 years ago

Thanks for the feedback! That is a bug, I'll fix it for the post-jam version!

Very fun and cool concept! Enjoyed it a lot although graphics may have lacked in some parts. Loved the WR feature, but maybe decrease its opacity so you can still see the game through it?

Submitted

IanGoGoDeveloper3 years ago

Thanks for the feedback! I'll fix that in the post jam version!

Couldn't get anywhere near the world records, but great balance between the fast pace and tight controls.

I really liked it. Full marks on creativity and simplicity. Although I would've loved to see you implement more than just one failure type and random container for sounds. They get a bit repetitive. The tracker for WR is a nice touch! Kudos and good luck.

This is amazing work. That feeling when you miss the platform and die, but instead of beeing punished you get even stronger because u get superpowers as a ghost is priceless. Well done! Plz rate my game as well !
