Cool original visuals. But I think the effect is a bit too harsh. The instructions in the first level are completely unreadable for example. I frequently got “stuck” in walls and ceilings which allowed me to cheese the few levels.

Loved it! It's really fun. Just lacks a trial (like for wall-jumping) and polish to the controls (The character is kinda slippery so it's hard to know where it will stop). Also it lacks sound effects, which could make it more atmospheric and engaging!

Keep it up!

Great game! The buttons are a bit hard to read but the CRT effect looks awesome and its easy to figure out the controls. The levels are well made and creative, so nice job! 

Submitted

Nice! Just so you know, the third level can be skipped entirely just by jumping up from the left.

ya, ik I was going to put like a trap that would trap you there in like a super hard level until you bat for everyone trying to cheat but unfortunately i couldn't

Submitted

Nice game! It was pretty fun. I did accidentally jump on top of one of the moving spikes and it didn't kill me. I think that might be a bug. Other than that, all was well!

Submitted

Cute little game! Remembers me to Animal well. Nice work.

Submitted

I really liked this and would love to see more levels!

I am not really sure if it’s intended, but I just skipped level 3 by going around it using the top.

Submitted

Well done!! This was a lot of fun to play and definitely had me wishing for more levels! As far as critiques go I can really only think of 2

The hitboxes for the character and spikes felt a tad big to me, there were a few moments where I would be KO'ed when visibly there was a lot of space between me and the spikes. For a rage game generally this is alright, to a degree, but its important to toe that line so it still feels achievable to dodge without feeling like the game is unfair from a mechanics sense, as opposed to a gameplay sense. Another solution would be to just make the sprite for the character or spike bigger!

For the last level, since the second level was solved by going to the left and top of the level (something I would try immediately, for some reason) I was able to bypass the entire stage by running on top of the roof to the end on my first try. Maybe putting a trap up there for players like me would help nail in the "game is against you" vibe!

Overall this is a very well put together game, the controls are tight and responsive and it was a genuine joy to play. I hope you make more content for this game once the rating period is up, and I'm excited to see what else you get up to. You should be very proud!

Short and sweet! Loved the TV screen effect. It did take me a while to realize you could wall jump though, maybe some kind of indicator would be helpful. Well done!

Submitted

Very immersive sound design and visuals. Unfortunately it's just three levels. Bravo for the nicely done project!! 

Submitted

Took me about two minutes to complete. I had fun, but it was just so short... I really hope you make the game longer after the jam because it has a lot of potential!

The UI is incredible, and the static effect really gives the game a unique and polished look. Visually, it is very pretty, but it does not feel quite as nice to play. Maybe try adding more juice to the gameplay, some screen shake, extra visual effects, or even small sound cues could help make everything feel more dynamic and engaging.

Looking forward to seeing where you take this. Great job!

Submitted

The level design is excellent, the game system is great, and it's really fun!

Submitted

Truly is short and sweet, love the CRT screen effect

Personally, just saying, coulda had some more meaner traps :>

Submitted

Ok this one is hard. :-) Good work. Congrats.

Submitted

cool shaders and hardcore levels

Submitted

Neat. Quick and easy game.

Submitted

Love the aesthetic and some of the puzzles legitimately had me stumped for a while.

Submitted

Fun game, nicely done, a little bit difficult but illimited lives helped!

Submitted

Simple, fun, and a bit difficult :D 

Submitted

This was honestly fun! The 2nd level took awhile but hey I got it! Might want improve readibility tho.
