Very simple but fun. I liked that there is a variety of moves available (double jump and dash) and that there are multiple paths to the finish line. So you can plan different routes for better time.

Good job!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it. The variety of movement is something that amazes me about platformers, so I've tried experimenting with various mechanics. Thanks for the comment ^^

Submitted

The dash is awesome.
This game is excellent for speed runs.
Great game

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! It means a lot, and I'm thrilled you enjoyed it <3

Submitted

Simple yet so fun. I love the combination of jumping and dashing to scale up to the goal.

Developer

Appreciate the feedback <3. Glad to hear you enjoyed it

Submitted

This was an enjoyable! Sometimes I would get stuck on the edges of platforms, the only way I could figure to get off was to dash - which usually sent me sailing downward haha. I am not sure that was intentional or not

Nice job and congratz on putting it all together!! Best of luck

Developer

Probably a bug with collisions or something haha. Thanks for pointing it out; I'll try to polish those details for the next version. Appreciate your comment, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game ^^

Submitted

I got stuck on the upper corners of some platforms a few times but fun to blast through fast.

Developer

Seems like there might be a collision bug or something haha.  I'll work on refining those details for the next version. Really appreciate your comment, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game ^^

I struggled a bit with the controls initially, as you might expect one to, but after that little hiccup I really enjoyed playing through your game! The controls feel responsive and fair, two things I appreciate in a platformer. Well done!

Developer

Thank you so much for the comment. I hope to continue refining the controls in future versions. I'll try to add a tutorial or something so that the first experience with the controls isn't too frustrating. Thanks a lot for your feedback <3

Submitted

This was fun! Short and sweet, lots of little mechanics to give the platforming a little boost upwards. Nice touch with the leaderboard, even if the display is a little bugged.

Developer

Yeah, the text got a bit buggy haha. It was the first time; hopefully, I'll fix that bug next time. Thank you very much for the comment. I'm glad you liked the game ^^

Racing up the waterfall as fast as you can was an interesting take on the theme interpretation and a bit different. I liked that it was fast-paced!

Developer

Thank you for the comment <3. I'm happy you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Really cool game, the dash plus double jump mechanic really lets you do some cool stuff.

On the other hand, for your leaderboard I didn't really understand how to submit, so I press all the buttons and sometimes it works, sometimes not ^^'

I also have some bugs with text placement:

Developer

I'm glad you liked the movement. The idea was to give the player the freedom to climb with a variety of mechanics.

On the other hand, it seems like there might be a bug in the text. I'll try to make it clearer next time. Thank you very much for the feedback ^^

Submitted

Nice aesthetics and sound. Fun and fast gameplay. Good job!

Developer

Thank you for the comment <3. I'm happy you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Short and sweet, a lot of fun. One thing that could be done is rotating the character sprite to face the mouse during normal movement (or having the character's eyes look at the mouse?) - that should add to the impact of the dashing!

Developer(+1)

Definitely, improving the animations would enhance the platforming experience. Noted for the next update. Thank you so much for the feedback <3

Submitted

Short, fun and fast. Great work in making the character feel fast without feeling like you lose control of them. Good Stuff!

Developer

Appreciate the feedback <3. Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Game was pretty easy because our guy was a sticky one. I actually find out you could also use left click to propel yourself at the very end. 
It is a cute nice game I would definitely add a ranked mode for harder game play.

Developer

I'm glad you liked it. I didn't want it to be too difficult; instead, I aimed for the challenge to be in the ranking system. However, I definitely think a new mode can be added, as you suggest. Thank you very much for the feedback ^^

Submitted

a fun game that really gives the feeling of speed! really well made and polished 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the comment <3. I'm happy you enjoyed it!

Funny game with appropriate graphics. Unfortunately, I didn’t make it all the way to the top, but still had a lot of fun. Congratulations!

Developer

Thank you for the comment and for the feedback ^^

Submitted

Very beautiful game.

Is it just me or can you effectively like quadruple jump if you count dashing as well?

I'm not great with platformers, but it felt like pushing all buttons generally moved Koi upwards. :D

Developer

Thanks for the comment <3

The idea was that the dash and jump would reset upon touching any platform, allowing for chaining many jumps. So yes, mashing a lot of buttons ended up making Koi ascend, ahaha

Submitted

Really fun to speedrun. Art and music was neat as well

Developer

I'm glad you liked it, thank you very much for the feedback ^^

Submitted

Quite short but very fun to play. I beat your record ;)

Developer

I'm glad you liked it. I'll have to reclaim that position, haha

Submitted

Loved the art! Great work!

Developer

Thank you for the comment <3. I'm happy you enjoyed it!

Interesting concept! Really fun speedrunning game. The koi theme was also interesting, and the page design with the koi image was beautiful

Developer

Thanks for your comment^^ Glad u like it
