I love the art style, I think this game has such a nice atmosphere! It took a bit of time for me to get used to the controls, but once I did, I had a great time!

Nice mix between celeste and geometry dash. The challenge was a bit too high for me at some point but it was fun. Visuals works well together. Good job !

Definitely could see the Celeste inspiration!  Overall your visuals were really good. There were a few things that started to feel a little busy, like maybe too many after-images for the player.  Still a very cool world and fun gameplay!

I like the platforming challenges with all of the spikes and lasers. I got pretty far but I didn't manage to complete the game, although I might have been able to with some more determination. The player's abilities are cool and the platforms have a nice colourful style too

I see you took a lot of inspiration from Celeste, and I really like the visuals and the movement is really fun, but I think there’s a little too much camera shaking

The dashing felt good to control, although it was a bit hard for sure. I said this on stream, but I think some color changes would benefit this, as lasers and spikes sometimes were hard to see since the background color was similar. Still, nice entry!

Yo this was really challenging. I can see the celeste inspiration.
I think the camera moved a bit too much, and made it a lot harder to play. But I made it to the last level (i think). I liked the chase that happens near the end. I kept overshooting the goal on that level though. I think it'd feel more fair if it was taller.

I see what you are trying to go for and it is in fact really fun just the last 3 levels had a very overwhelming difficulty curves, Thi hit box of the player felt a little wonky at times  I think I can make it but then I hit a spike but then I think I am going to die but I hit the same place on the spike and end up getting through alive, other then that I am not sure what the a/d does in the menu exactly.

anyways Good Job and Goodluck

the hitbox is half the size of the player, Yeah really messed up on that design choice( a and s shows your times btw) after you activate the nuke at the end you can come back to the menu to see your times( or use q and e to go to the menu)

i nerfed the starting levels like 5 times, and forgot to nerf the rest

I really like the idea but for me the camera was really difficult to deal with. i often found myself dying because i could not see what was happening from the camera studdering. I really liked the controls thought and the speed running feeling

yea i should remove that in round 2(IF I GET to round 2), your game is really good, just the decelaration and acceleration makes it feel slippery and kinda annoying

Love this game. It takes a minute to get used to the controls but it's sooo worth it.
