The core gameplay is definitely enjoyable, once I figured out how to properly jump! It also suits the theme very well. I found the bloom and lighting to be way too bright a lot of the time, though, and it made it difficult at times to see where to go. In addition, the obstacle hitboxes felt slightly misleading - some were smaller than they seemed, some were larger. Aside from that, it's not bad, and made me want to make it to the end in one piece!

Super fun gameplay. Honestly a great marriage between theme and gameplay, and well implemented to boot. I did get a bit confused by the jump at first but once I understood it was a charged jump it became clearer. As another commentor said, a charge meter would be perfect. Also some soundeffects for gameplay feedback! Keep up the good work!

Charge Aheadbonk.. haha. Great game, mine got confused by yours the other day but just because the person saw snow lol. I liked this, and the blues on the lighting highlighting elements looked appealing. Nice music too, not obtrusive, good work!

ReflectionsQuite a challenging game but it was worth it once you beat it!
It was satisfying to narrowly dodge and slip through the obstacles, made for some really cool moments.
The difficulty curve was steep at first but I eventually got the hang of it, I think maybe adding a jump bar to tell how much jump is charged up could be useful and maybe a speedometer?
Also got a bit confused on which bushes killed me because some ended the game and some you could just pass through. Good job!

One Last DanceVery hard to get the jumps right but its a pleasure to learn! I also like the music that accompanies the sweaty gameplay :D

Super Fever Sand RushVery fun to play! Like the drums soundtrack, somehow fits perfectly!

This Temple is not SafeFun little game, I think a UI for the jump charge up would be useful. Overall I like it

Wall of DeathYou pretty much know how to play the game before it even show the tutorial! Just heads up, the jump is not instant but more like a charged jump so make sure you time it well! Hopefully that tip gets you far! Dont get bonked!

Mine Over MatterThe concept is simple but I think it was executed well. I like the background music as it juxtaposes well with what is happening in the game, and the tutorial was done well. I think though the jump height could be increased a bit more since it is quite difficult to jump over the fences as it requires really precise places to jump from. But overall, this was executed well and is a solid game.

JoggingcoreFun game. It's funny you can run through rocks and trees but fences? No. Immediate death.
