Nice game :)! I was not so good and took a while to get somewhere in the level ;). But I like the idea with the heartbeat and when you see something and when not. The beat makes you anxious also and extra excitement to each jump :). Fun to play, good job!

Thank you so much!

The game concept is not bad. The vision is given simultaneously with the heartbeat, so you have to memorize, where the obstacles are. Art work is awesome.  I am sure, a nice background music would make your game much nicer and funnier. Keep it up.

Thank you!!

The game is not running... I believe you have to add whole Build folder to the archive and upload it... Not only the .exe file..

Developer

My apologies! Download is fixed!

Cool concept! I really like the idea and design..  It was quite difficult for me, but no worries, I'm terrible at this (and don't have the nerve) :D

Just one bug happened to me. I think it was only in the first level (because it took me a while to look at the controls and discover there is a sprint option - maybe consider some pop-up at the start of the game with controls for stubborn players like me :D ).

Anyway, the bug. Sometimes I tried to move, but the character didn't move, only played walk animation. I had to jump to move again. Seemed like some problem with collider or such. Not a big deal, but happened a few times.

But as you have written in your faq., I can imagine this to be a full game. It would be blast, especially if you added some thematic music, 

Good luck in future development.

Thank you so much for the feedback! I will definitely be looking into that bug and I do agree with your suggestion to  add a pop up for the controls, so that will be part of a future update. I wanted to add some music but didn't have time before the jam ended to make some so I'm planning on adding that as well. I'm glad you enjoyed the game! Thanks again!
