Ranked from 37 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

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.

Cool game, I loved the design of the game and the idea.

Amazing and solid artwork simple and clean, I like the menu animation and the UI,  great job!   

Developer

Thanks :D
I always try to keep things simple so that it's easier to make them consistent, it's a balance game between adding more or less UI to the screen at the same time

Phenomenal! Absolutely buttery smooth controls! Very well made. It was hard for me because I think it was hard to tell when to exactly jump without dying. But art and audio absolutely was amazing, and I couldn't get over how nice it feels to play.

Developer

Ty!!
I put a good amount of time fine tuning the controls but the jump feels a bit random indeed.

You nailed it, this game is incredible!
The gameplay and animation are smooth, levels are challenging and music give me good vibes :D

Developer

I'm glad to hear that! Thx :)

So it was worthwhile to spend some time adding coyote time and jump buffer :D

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

I 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!

I'm really happy to hear that you liked it! Many thanks!

Great! 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 ;-)

Developer(+1)

Thanks!!!
I'll let you know when I upload

Love the use of the "silhouette" look, it gave the game a unique and charming look. I also really like how you used one level to essentially make it 2 levels by making the player run back the way they came in a different way! Very clever.

Congrats on this submission! 

Developer

Thank you!
It was quite a fun challenge to create levels that are played both ways.

art style really rocks...... and the twist at the end was very cool. daymn 

Developer

Thx! Maybe the ending was a bit sudden but that's what I managed to do with the time I had XD

Submitted(+1)

The controls are very nice. I love the art style as well. Great job!

Submitted(+1)

Super fun game, great art style even if its a little overused by like everyone who makes games :] fun idea super challenging 

Submitted(+1)

Nice game, too bad I'm not good enough to finish it

Developer

Ya I'm not good at quantifying the difficulty of my games when I'm creating them, sorry for that

Cool game, reminds me of the game Vector, really nice concept!

Developer

Thanks! I loved Vector's design when I first played it and tried to do something similar. It's way flatter than Vector's but still

Submitted(+1)

Really nice game.

Submitted(+1)

nice game but the coming back part made it to hard me

Developer

Yeah I really should have done something like checkpoints when you get to the end. Sometimes it's tricky to calculate how easy the game is when you're creating it.

Submitted(+1)

Cool concept and well polished. I really like the art it reminds me a lot of older web browser games during the early 2010s. My only feedback would be that the first level might be a bit hard especially on the running back part? Maybe adding a checkpoint aftermaking it to the end would make it easier for ppl like me who arent very good :). Other than that great job! :)

Developer

Thank you! Great advice.

Submitted(+1)

Really nice entry, movement feels good and game polished.

Game was really hard for me though, but likely skill issue.

Thorough enjoyment!

Developer

Glad to hear that you had fun playing it!
But I have to agree that some stunts are very challenging indeed XD

Submitted(+1)

I very much enjoyed the style! I felt a few of the jumps were either a bit too tight or a bit blind, but I really liked the momentum aspect and the visuals were very crisp and clean. Well done!

Game is good, but I struggle with platformers.
