Really interesting concept! I love the art style and gameplay; it kinda reminds me of the mobile game 'Vector' if you heard of it :)

How does your game fit the theme?
When you reach the end of the level your character turns back (making it the new start of the level) and (small spoiler) at the last level your robot finds itself in the ruins of a city, maybe that was the end, but there's a new start germinating.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I coded and created all the assets but not the music.

Very nice style, the artwork and music worked well together. The character controller was nice. Having to restart the level because I hit a platform on the way back was punishing - made the learning curve very repetitive. Also, platforms don't usually do damage, so some visual clue about what is going to kill you would be nice.

Oh No, Zombies Again!Nice little game with a relaxing soundtrack and a very appealing visual style - I definetly got some Speedrunners vibes! The idea with having to complete the track backwards once reaching the end fits the theme very well and makes for some interesting gameplay - the only thing I have wished for was a checkpoint at the end so you don't have to start over the whole track once you failed your run. Very solid entry - congratulations!

The Challenger DeepSo nice! It really has a Parkour vibe (really liked that game).
The overall design is really great, and the animations of the robot are top-notch! The level design is clever, and I like the fact that you have multiple mechanics available (like the wind in level 2).
The game is a little bit difficult (which is not a problem), but I find the death a little bit punitive. Depending on where you want to go with the overall type of game, I think adding checkpoints could be a great idea.
Good job!

Color LabThx!
It was really fun to play around with the level design - at least it was fun to playtest as I was doing so XD
I would say that this game would lean more towards the 'finding a nice way to swing through a level' type of game, hence the quick level restarts to help with route testing. But I have to agree that the death detection is a bit harsh, the way I coded it is like: if velocity x of player =< 0, /kill (which isn't exactly the most accurate way of doing it)
it's just super relaxed. everything fits together very well. you really sink into the gameplay

Soul SaviorI enjoyed the game and especially like the game's look. With the black forground and the bright colors in the background it looked really interesting. Good job!

Tower SnakeArt looks very professional and the movement is also very smooth and nice. However the precision needed for all the jumps to not hit a wall or something was too much for me. I also wish there would be a checkpoint after turning back (I can NOT play games, I'm a total nobo). But my skill issue doesn't make your game any less good than it is :)

NoahThanks!
I indeed should add some quality of life features such as checkpoints and less confusing jump mechanics (or at least code them better), it's just that I'm so familiar with platforming that I sort of forgot that there were people that weren't so much into it like me while developing this entry
Amazing and solid artwork simple and clean, I like the menu animation and the UI, great job!

Shoot 'n LootThe main character animation is cool, and the way he transition to run faster is well made. Nice game!

RogueAbyssI LOVE IT
Bruh the animations, snappy controls, all the different routes a Player can take to beat a level, unnecessary-but-fun Crouch Jump-
Man, this game has a great Speedrun Game potential!
A Solid, Great Great 10/10!

Marlok The WizardGreat! Like the way you included a level with instructions on how to play. The animation on the main sprite is really smooth. Looking forward to finding out how you did it in the video ;-)
