The pleasure is all mine! In more detail, the mechanic is cool, and the levels are fun but challenging. The simple graphics never felt out of place and the game looks pretty neat. The controls were decent.

Fun game and mechanic, I wish it was pushed even further on how fast it could get.
I mostly enjoy the level design, but I would maybe use fewer obstacles that make you wait for a window to pass through, since missing a window can be very devastating.

Bonus points for great presentation on all fronts, including high score screens and transitions.

Having the background of the itch page frame fit in so well with the game was a very neat detail!

Developer

Thanks for playing! If I ever expand upon this concept getting rid of or changing the way time windows worked would be one of the first things I change. Especially with the moving platforms, if you miss the first jump your as good as dead for most of the levels. Thanks again for playing and your feedback!

Despite my huge negative score I really had fun playing the game, haha!

Seriously its concept looks simple, but it is clearly fun!
I really like the flat style of geometric forms even if I believe it could be a bit more colorful to please the eyes. A bit of a story would be nice too. A bit sad you didn't add the additional time, but that's okay to me.

The difficulty is okay to me. I mean it's okay for me to do a bad score the first time, and then get back and try hard to do the best score as I can.

I really enjoyed the music. Looks like you didn't make it - which I can understand - but I wanted to mention you choose some musics that fit really well the mood (:

Great job, and thank you for this cool tiny cute game!

Thanks for playing! I was originally going to have each world be different colors and have the player change colors but I kept postponing it until the jam was over. Also I experimented with the time carrying over but it felt weird because all the levels were either too easy bc of the time rolled over or too hard bc it was designed to take longer than 5 seconds. Thanks again for your feedback!

Nice little platformer! I liked being able to build up speed by clearing levels without dying, to eventually go pretty fast. This is definitely a mechanic that could be utilized more, by having some very fast overall runs by never dying is a nice idea, being able to get some insane speeds would be fun. 

The movement felt bit off, with very short hops. For a precision platformer its vital that the movement feels responsive and smooth, but I got used to it.  

Having the time slow down as you die more and more is a nice mechanic, as well as a simple way to make the levels easier if you cannot complete them. 

Overall, a nice job!

Thanks for playing! About the jump feeling off I just realized that the time scale is probably what is causing it to feel random. I made it so that the longer you hold space or w the higher you jump but with the time scale changing it makes it hard to calculate. Thanks again for playing and the feedback!

Enjoyable platformer -   I played through quite a number of levels, but I'm not sure  I noticed any game speed effects with the powerups  :)

Developer

Thanks for playing! Right now the powerups only speed up the game by 0.05 and it was originally supposed to be 0.1 so that might be why it felt like the powerups didn't do much.
