It is a cool idea with abilities scaling with time. This platformer is hard and it takes a long time to get used to the changing abilities, but a lot of people like hard platformers. A graphical presentation of the scaling would have been nice, not only numbers.

Submitted

Good job! I found your game enjoyable but a little bit on the challenging side.

The movement feels a little bit slippery. It's a good platformer and has good level design, Good job!

Submitted

Neat! I agree with the other ones on the movement, it feels kinda slippery. But besides that I really love the concept of the player stats scaling over time! Nice job!

Submitted

The movement could feel a little more responsive, the slow acceleration makes it feel a little slippery. Having said that, scaling the abilities of the player as time goes on is a really clever idea! I would love to see how this idea can be explored further. Really cool take on the theme. Good work!

Submitted

Good job, I like the feeling of movement.

Submitted

Gotta say, I really love this platformer. It feels so nice and the scaling abilities mechanic adds some really neat puzzles and obstacles. Great job!

Submitted

there were a lot of cool mechanics in this but i am unfortunately very bad at platformers, so i wasn't able to see a lot of them. what i saw was really well made though. well done!

Submitted

This is real fun! I'm going to save this one and come back for sure.  The abilities scaling is a nice effect, but it definitely makes me question if I'm going too fast - or too slow on some level spots.

Submitted

Nice little plaformer. Mechanics were solid. Making the player abilities scale with time was definitely interesting.

It would be nice to have a full screen mode in browser tho

I really like platformer games, and this one is super entertaining. Sometimes the jumps feel very quick, maybe due to the falling speed, but the idea is really cool. Great job! ^^

Submitted

I see that the player's abilities "scale" as the time goes on. This is a very unique idea. I only found the gravity a bit weird. Next time while you are making platformers like these, try to make the player fall faster as it is reaching to the ground.

Wow, I totally suck at this game! :D And I say that as a good thing, well done making the game challenging yet rewarding. I know if I played it for a bit longer I would have gotten the hang of the controls much better than I currently do. I liked the way you interpreted the theme, abilities scaling with time is a fun twist! Well done for your first entry!

Submitted

Neat twist. 

I had some trouble with the slipperiness of the character, but I guess that's consistent with this genre of games.

Submitted

Fun game ! Really innovating twist for the speedrunners out there. Great interpretation of the theme !

Submitted

Neat game, the controls feel a bit like meatboy with how fast and slippery the player is. The difficulty also feels like meatboy (its pretty hard). It was a fun challenge and i like the visuals, they make me think of a flash game I'd play on my mom's office computer, If this was on Coolmath games in 2013, I would have put hours into beating it. Addictive, challenging, and fun. Great game!

Submitted

Great game! Love the music and gameplay. I suck at it though lol

Submitted

Nice idea and a really really hard game. Made it to only level 4 so far.

Submitted

Nice mechanic, love how you scale the ability as the time passes. Challenging but also give me anxiety lol.

Submitted

Pretty fun, the scaling with time mechanic fits very well
