Nicely done. It was fun but too hard for me xD
Great job.

This game is great! I'm usually bad at games with a strict time limit, but this was one was fun, approachable, and never too frustrating - just stressful at times. I mean, I still haven't beat it, but I also have yet to experiment with the different timings and combinations of power-ups. Anyways, love the concept of a Metroidvania with strict limits on both time and space, very cool.

Lovely level design with a lot of secrets and complexity.
This definitely bringed back good memories from Super Metroid to me.

I am suprised how absorbed by the game I was. I did not manage to finish it unfortunately. It feels a little bit unfinished because of the graphics and lack of any sound but to be fairly honest I think if you fix those - this will be really amazing game :).

Really cool! I love how you mixed a platformer with a metroidvania, nice work! I also love how you didn't just slap a minute timer onto your game, you actually incorporated it really well with the story and the mechanics, great work! I think that with some fancier art, sound effects, and a bit more work this could be an amazing full game! Especially if you tweak some frustrating bits like the zig-zag in the room below the starting one. What you have here is a great concept in a fun game, and all it needs is a bit more work and it could be something amazing! I actually really hope that you continue to work on this because I would love to see this with more power-ups, a fuller story, better art and audio! Keep up the amazing work! :D

And it's ok that there are no sound effects or too much art in the jam version! I mean I understand that 48 hours is like nothing, so as long as you have good core gameplay, keep going! :)

Also thank you for replying to my post :)

Updated version based on some feedback here - now there's nubs when you get to a room on the map, and there's one small platform change which should make the early game significantly easier, since it seemed like a lot of people were getting stuck at the same point.  It's on my site here: http://notthefuture.com/minuteescape/

Also, never mentioned anywhere but still valid in the original: you can use space to jump and shift to dash as an alternate control scheme.  Also you could use WASD and JKL to control the game.

We had very similar ideas! I couldn't escape but I had a fun time trying! Very challenging! I loved the implementation of the minimap! Simple but clean! Good job!

Such an interesting twist on the genre, really enjoyed it, though I didn't make it very far :)

If anyone liked this game, I would recommend trying to go for low% in it.  I designed the thing to have sequence breaking in it, but never actually tested it myself until today, and it was loads of fun breaking my own game.  It actually turns out you can skip even more items than I even thought was possible.

Cool game! The farthest I've gotten was getting the Red Key but not really sure the sequence of actions to take to beat the game. I go Dash -> Double Jump -> Time -> Climbing Ability -> Key and die to time. Not sure how the underwater stuff plays into it either haha. But nonetheless, it was really fun trying to figure it out :)

Very cool idea. I didn't escape but I did try a few times! Without giving much away (spoiler wise), I found quite a few items ... including a hidden one. I jumped further, dashed, climbed, found some keys, even swam - but it was no good. I couldn't escape :( 

Enjoyed it, good job!
